Prague - Day Trips
Take off to imperial Karlštejn Castle (less than an hour away), or go slightly further afield to the museums and churches of medieval Kutná Hora.
Tourists flock to the Czech Republic’s prettiest castle at Karlštejn, just a short train ride from Prague. Head north to the forbidding fortress of Terezín where the Nazis imprisoned Czech Jews during the Second World War. To the east of the capital, you’ll find the medieval city of Kutná Hora - once famous for its silver mines; it is now better known for the Sedlec Ossuary, a creepy chapel decorated with human bones and skulls. Sample some Bohemian wine and tour the Renaissance palace in Melník, or sip a pilsner in Plzeň, the home of Czech beer. Na zdraví (cheers)!
