Czech Museum of Silver (Muzeum stříbra) & Silver Mine (Stříbrná štola)
Beste Besuchszeit
Morning visits before noon avoid coach crowds and provide cooler underground conditions; late spring and early autumn have fewer tourists and pleasant surface weather.
Budgettipps
Combined museum plus mine ticket saves money compared with separate purchases; expect around 200–300 CZK for adults, with discounts for students, seniors and families, and check the Czech Museum Pass or Kutná Hora tourist card for inclusion and free-entry days.

Schnelle Fakten: Step into cool, dim tunnels and you’ll feel the crush of history as guides light authentic lanterns and point out original wooden supports and miners’ tools. A steep descent brings a hands-on saddle demonstration and unexpected stories about how medieval silver shaped regional trade and coinage.
Highlights: Guides lead you 40 meters below ground into narrow timbered galleries, where you can run your hand along 700-year-old wooden supports and taste the mineral tang of iron and damp earth as a flickering miner's lamp casts amber shadows. A quirky tradition keeps the past alive: groups pause to listen to a short medieval miners' chant and to view a tiny carved notch where 14th-century officials measured silver veins, and guides often show coins like Prague groschen from the 1300s wedged into rock crevices.
Insidertipps
- Wear sturdy closed shoes and a warm layer, low ceilings and damp stone floors make the mine cooler and uneven underfoot.
- Book the guided mine tour online or at the ticket office in advance during high season, tours sell out early on sunny weekends.
- Join a morning tour to avoid large coach groups that arrive mid- to late-morning, and head to the museum exhibits after the mine visit for quieter galleries.
- Photography is usually allowed in the museum; follow the guide's rules underground and avoid flash or tripods inside the mine.
