Exploring Central Bohemia

Prague is the main destination to go to in the Czech Republic, but there are so many places to go to from there.

The Central Bohemian Region is in the center of Bohemia. In terms of area, it is the largest region in the Czech Republic and surrounds the country's capital, Prague. So any direction you go to outside of Prague will lead you to Central Bohemia.

A town I visited for the first time is Kutná Hora, a medieval town with about 22,000 inhabitants. The history of Kutná Hora is linked to silver mining, which made it rich. Kutná Hora's center, including the Sedlec Abbey and the Sedlec Ossuary, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 because of its outstanding architecture and its influence on subsequent architectural developments in other Central European city centers. The historic town center is also protected as an urban monument reservation, the fourth largest in the Czech Republic.

The large concentration of monuments and its inclusion on the UNESCO list make Kutná Hora a significant tourist destination. The town's sacred monuments are among their most visited monuments in the Czech Republic.
