Kutná Hora Transportation
The Kutná Hora old town is on a small scale and you can easily walk to see the sights. The only time you may want to take some form of transport is to travel between the train station and town (this is covered on our Getting There page) and to visit the Sedlec suburb with its famous Ossuary and UNESCO-listed Cathedral of Our Lady. Sedlec is located about 2.5 km/1.5 mi from the center and a walk from town takes close to 45 minutes.
Kutná Hora is serviced by city buses, taxis, and an 8-seater minivan called the Tourist Bus.
Buses no. 1 (runs every 30 min. Mon. - Fri.) and 7 (runs hourly on weekends) connect the train station and the town center, passing through Sedlec.

A private bus for eight passengers services the main tourist points of Kutná Hora. It runs between the train station, Sedlec Ossuary, and Church of St. Barbara in the center. The ride costs around 35 CZK/person. The service is irregular and the van leaves when it fills up to at least three passengers.
