Need some advice. My family and I will land in Prague Wednesday evening, which for us basically means we will have two days to tour the city; Thursday and Friday. Saturday we leave for Budapest. While in Prague, should I visit the Bone Church? It's a hour drive to the church then an hour back. Maybe I could visit the Bone Church on the way to Budapest? Should I just skip it? Johnny
Do you mean the Sedlec Ossuary? I found it somewhat disturbing. Unless you have a particular macabre gothic fascination for such stuff, I would say your limited time is much better spent in Prague.
(If, however, you do like to hang about in graveyards whilst reading Edgar Allen Poe and listening to the Sisters of Mercy, it would be a must-see).
i would certainly agree with Zizkov that two days is too little time to take advantage of all Prague has to offer. our highight was the jewish museum, but there are so many things to visit that taking a half day for the "bone church" will cost you more time than it is worth.
Bone church is very interesting, it is something you probably wont see anywhere else. But, if you have just two days, I guess its better to spend them whole in Prague, there is so much to see there!
There are two bone churches in Portugal... ;)
I would spend both days in Prague. The city is just so beautiful and there's plenty for you to occupy your two days, and believe it, two days is short.
With 2 days, definitely not. There's way too much and see and do in Prague itself and 2 days isn't much.
Personally, I didn't see what the interest in the bone church was but Kutna Hora itself is very nice and I really liked the silver mine which is worth a visit there in itself.
I bought this water color at these little shops. When I got home and looked at a little more closely, I realized that it was the absolutley cheapest worste photocopy EVER !!! Shell out the big bucks and get an original from some place that doesn't sell their stuff on the street!
“Czechs have eaten carp at Christmas for as long as history remembers.”
— Jan Hofbauer, whose family has been raising carp in southern Bohemia since the 16th century
CARPING FOR CARP—All day Tom hoped that around every corner we would come across the legendary Christmas carp mongers in their full-length, black leather apron with a carp-filled wooden barrel where Czechs buy their main course for the Christmas Eve dinner. Alas, no live carp; Tom had to wait until dinner at the Seven Angels Restaurant for his fried carp (see accompanying photo).
KINDNESS TO ANIMALS—Some Czechs just can’t bring themselves to kill, then eat, the live carp that was bought on Christmas Eve; some children think of them as pets! We happened upon a woman (see accompanying photo) on Christmas Day who had brought hers down to the river, and tossed it in.
Have an over the shoulder bag for the day rather than a rucksack, it is a lot safer as the bag rests to the front of your body Comfortable shoes are essential as lots of walking is involved in trips to Prague. Lots of layers so that should the weather improve you can strip off. Always carry an umbrella as it can rain anytime. Take lots of film as it is expensive in Prague. Good internet cafes allow you to download and burn your digital photographs for a good price.
This is a great wax museum located next to Karlstejn. It consists of forty wax figures. First there is a small town from the time of Karlstejn, then the court of Charles IV, torture chambers, the Hussite period, and then the court of Emperor Rudolf II. At the end there is an exhibition of the Habsburgs, famous personalities from the 19th and 20th centuries, and a kaleidoscopic cinema.
Again I only can suggest that you leave the main streets for a while. Just try one next to the main tourist paths, you will find quiet and empty lovely streets with neraly noone around. It surprised me really as I thought, that also these streets would be filled with tourists. It semms that they keep on the main streets though, lucky for you....

Q: Prague public transportation "Hello VT; I'm so confused how the 1 day or 3 days pass works. It says that you have to validate the pass/ticket before..."
A: "You validate it once and then it is good for the 24/72 hours on all public transport whether metro, bus or tram."
