Travel Tip: Kutná Hora – picturesque Czech town that once rivaled Prague´s dominance

in #travel7 years ago

Hi Steemians,

let me share another cool Czech travel tip with you. After introducing you to the Máj Lookout yesterday, I would like to show you another interesting place that you are highly recommended to put on your Czech travel bucket list.

Found some 50 km (30 mi) east of Prague, Kutná Hora is home to just about 20,000 people but this beautiful historical town has a lot to offer. A former silver-mining hub of the Czech Republic, the town once even competed against Prague to be the economical, cultural and political center of the country.

These days, Kutná Hora is a popular tourist destination for both domestic as well as foreign visitors. Boasting numerous architectural jewels such as the Church of St. Barbara (one of the most important Gothic churches in Europe) and the Church of Our Lady, the town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995.

Kutná Hora is worth your visit in any season of the year and its proximity to Prague makes it a great day-trip destination from the country´s capital.

The population is not much though but the city sure looks like a sure place to build a home. Nice pictures here I must confess.

Stay awesome.

You know, to be honest for me this is a perfect size town to have a good life. For me much preferred to a tussle of the big city. Nice and peaceful. I get kind of depressed when stuck in the traffic on daily basis which is non-existing in towns like this. Have a good one and thanks for stopping by.

Yeah! such cities as this should be very peaceful. The whole traffic thing is a big deal in my city. I really should make enough money to end up in a town this fresh. Stay awesome
