A tour of Kutná Hora

Start your tour of the historical part of Kutná Hora on Palackého náměstí. It is not so amazing in itself, but there is an info center (where they give you a map of the city) and all the most important monuments are very close from here.

From Palackého náměstí you will be attracted by the high tower of the church of St. Jakuba (84 meters high). So head to Jakubská Street first. The intersection of the streets in front of it is very picturesque thanks to the statues.

From the church of St. Jakuba are the first views of another interesting historical building in Kutná Hora – Vlašský dvůr. Which is a former mint with a palace in one.

Only on the way to Havlíčkovo náměstí to the entrance to the Vlašský dvor will you have a complete view of the monumental church of St. Jakuba. Originally, it was supposed to have two towers, but even so, it is a big landmark of this part of the city.

An interesting building on Havlíčkův náměstí is the U tří králů house. It will definitely captivate you with its frescoes.

Vlašský dvůr is a former royal palace in Kutná Hora. Famous silver coins were minted here – Prague groschen.

Inside the Italian Court, you feel as if you are in a castle. There is a nice courtyard with a fountain.

The most interesting part of the building is the exhibition bay just opposite the entrance gate. If you are also interested in the interiors of the buildings, a visit to Vlašský Dvůr is quite interesting – there are individual workshops + the lavish decoration of your own palace.

From Vlašský dvor continue just a few meters down to perhaps the most famous viewpoint of Kutná Hora – to the church of St. Barbora, Jesuit College and Hrádek.

The observation deck rises above the park – Breüerovy sady. The upper part is now nicely restored, the lower is still very neglected.

If you descend to the Breüer Gardens, you will suddenly get out of the circle of travel agencies. At the same time, the view from the bottom to Vlašský Dvůr and the church of St. Jakuba is very pretty

You can walk through the whole neglected park to the bridge over the river Vrchlice. Views of the Church of St. However, Jakub from below is worth a walk along this route.

From Breüer's orchards you can continue on a side road to the church of St. Barbara from the south. However, it is better to climb Pod Hrádkem Street (there is also an exit from the gallery of St. George's Mine to Hrádek, which is a former Gothic fortress, today the Stříbro Museum. Here you can also spend a lot of time on sightseeing tours. – Barborská directly to the world-famous Church of St. Barbara

After a tour of the church of St. Barbora and its close surroundings (separate article) take the significantly less visited path along the western side of the Jesuit College back to the center.

The Jesuit college in Kutná Hora is one of the most monumental buildings in the whole city. On the west side of the building is a nice park and a minimum of tourists (compared to Barborská Street on the other side of the building)

After going around the entire Jesuit dormitory, head down the nice hitoric Husova Street. After a while you will come to another great interest of Kutná Hora – the exhibition Stone Fountain.

The whole of Rejskovo náměstí is very picturesque, surrounded by historic houses. The stone fountain is designed by the same architect as the Church of St. Barbora – Rejskem, which will probably not surprise you at all.

If you continue along Husova Street, you will reach the Plague Column. But it is currently under reconstruction – so you won't actually see much of it. From here it is only a few meters back to Palackého náměstí, where the circuit closes.
