Turn the wasted travel day into the highlight of your trip with stops at Olomouc Old Town and Kutna Hora on your journey from Krakow to Prague.
Jonathan was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. So happy to have taken this side trip. We saw so many things that we would have had no access to other than via the side trip. I would recommend this way of inter destination travel to everyone. Thanks

What we'll do
We will explore the Old Town of Olomouc, where stunning Renaissance and Baroque architecture creates a truly picturesque setting. As we wander through the Upper and Lower Squares, we’ll admire the impressive Town Hall, featuring Olomouc’s unique Astronomical Clock. If we’re lucky, we might even witness the fascinating mechanical show the clock puts on.
The true crown jewel of Olomouc is the UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column, a magnificent 18th-century Baroque monument and the largest structure of its kind in the world. This intricately decorated column, adorned with religious sculptures and symbols, stands as a testament to faith and artistic mastery, making it one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
After soaking in the city’s historic charm and architectural treasures, we’ll take a well-deserved lunch break (not included) before continuing our journey to the next destination.
About Olomouc
Nestled in the heart of the Czech Republic, Olomouc Old Town is a treasure trove of history and architectural wonders. With origins dating back to the 10th century, the city has played a pivotal role in Central European history, once serving as a seat of power and culture.
The town's rich history is reflected in the well-preserved medieval and Baroque architecture, where Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance palaces, and charming cobblestone streets create a timeless atmosphere.
The true centerpiece of Olomouc is the UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column, an awe-inspiring Baroque masterpiece from the early 18th century. Erected as a symbol of faith and resilience, it commemorates the city’s survival through plagues and wars, standing as one of the most impressive monuments of its kind.
Another must-see is the Astronomical Clock, a fascinating blend of artistry and history. Originally crafted in the 15th century, it was reconstructed in the 1950s in the Socialist Realism style and continues to captivate visitors with its intricate carvings and mesmerizing hourly show.
We’ll walk through the UNESCO-listed town of Kutná Hora, exploring its cobbled streets, Gothic St. Barbara’s Cathedral, historic squares, and hidden medieval treasures.
What we'll do
We will explore the charming old town of Kutná Hora, once a wealthy medieval silver-mining city. Together we’ll take a leisurely walk through its cobbled streets, admire the Gothic grandeur of St. Barbara’s Cathedral, and uncover hidden corners and architectural gems that reflect the town’s rich past.
Along the way, you’ll discover picturesque squares, historic burgher houses, and panoramic views that reveal why Kutná Hora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
About Kutna Hora
Once a booming silver-mining town, Kutná Hora was founded in the 12th century and quickly grew into one of the wealthiest and most influential cities in medieval Europe. Walking through its narrow cobbled streets today still feels like stepping back in time.
The soaring St. Barbara’s Cathedral, with its intricate Gothic details, reflects the town’s former glory, while charming squares and elegant burgher houses tell stories of merchants, miners, and royalty. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kutná Hora is more than just a historical gem—it’s a place where the spirit of the Middle Ages lingers in every stone. No wonder it continues to attract countless visitors each year, eager to experience its timeless beauty and atmosphere.
