With a dedicated local guide, you’re not just passing through; you’re gaining insights into the history, culture, and stories behind Mikulov and Kutná Hora.

The itinerary in depth

Pickup in Vienna and initial transfer

The journey begins with pickup at your accommodation in Vienna, making the start effortless. Once on board, you’ll enjoy a smooth 1.5-hour drive toward Mikulov, with opportunities for quick breaks at your request—ideal for stretching your legs or snapping a few photos of the rolling Moravian vineyards. The drive itself is part of the charm, offering glimpses of the Czech landscape as you leave Austria behind.

Mikulov: a charming Moravian town

Mikulov might be small, but it’s packed with character. Known for its Baroque architecture and lush vineyards, it exudes a quiet elegance. The highlight is Mikulov Castle, a grand structure that has evolved from a Gothic fortress into a Baroque masterpiece. From its terraces, you’ll get views over the town and the surrounding fields, a perfect introduction to Moravia’s wine country.

Your guide, who is local and knowledgeable, will provide a guided tour of about an hour, sharing stories of Mikulov’s Jewish heritage, its historic Jewish quarter, and the significance of its winemaking traditions. Reviewers have appreciated guides like Viktor, who adds humor and plenty of tips, making the experience lively and engaging. Many note that hearing about the town’s history in person makes it come alive far more than reading a brochure.

Transfer to Kutná Hora

Next up is a roughly 2.5-hour drive toward Kutná Hora, a designated UNESCO site. The drive offers scenic views and an opportunity to rest and chat with your guide about Czech history, mining, and medieval life. Many find this part of the day a relaxing way to transition between two impressive sights.

Kutná Hora: a medieval gem

Once a thriving silver-mining hub, Kutná Hora boasts some of the most striking Gothic architecture in the country. The Cathedral of St. Barbara is a must-see, with soaring spires, intricate stained glass, and frescoes depicting miners’ lives. It truly feels like stepping into a medieval cathedral straight out of a storybook.

Adjacent to the cathedral is the Italian Court, which served as the royal mint and is now a museum. Here, you can learn about the town’s economic importance and the minting of Prague groschen, which played a major role in medieval currency. The guides often highlight the fascinating history of coinage, making it a real highlight for history buffs.

Travelers consistently mention how the guides’ explanations help make the complex history accessible and engaging. One reviewer noted, “The guide’s stories made the cathedral’s history so much more interesting—like hearing a personal tale rather than just listening to facts.”

Final transfer to Prague

After exploring Kutná Hora, you’ll enjoy a quick 1-hour transfer to Prague, where the guide will offer tips on what to do and see in the Czech capital. Many users appreciate this personalized advice, which can help tailor your stay in Prague to match your interests.
