Czech Museum of Silver (Muzeum stříbra) & Silver Mine (Stříbrná štola)
Bästa tid att besöka
Morning visits before noon avoid coach crowds and provide cooler underground conditions; late spring and early autumn have fewer tourists and pleasant surface weather.
Budgettips
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.

Snabba fakta: 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.
Höjdpunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- 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.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier

I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Kutna Hora, Czechia, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
