Day trip itinerary to Kutna Hora from Prague

For those looking for an exciting day trip from Prague, Kutna Hora is one of the interesting possibilities. This little city is only an hour train ride from Prague. It contains several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is perfect for a day trip from Prague. I will share with you my travel itinerary.
