• Real human bones line the Sedlec Ossuary, which some kids find fascinating and others find upsetting, so show them a photo first
• Two separate areas: Sedlec, with the ossuary, sits a few kilometers from the old town, so plan a bus, local train or a longer walk between them
• Medieval silver mine under the Hrádek museum, the most hands-on stop for school-age kids, visited on a guided tour

Kutná Hora grew rich on silver mining in the Middle Ages, and its UNESCO-listed old town still shows it. Three sights do most of the work with kids: the Sedlec Ossuary, a chapel decorated with human bones; St Barbara's Cathedral, with its tent-shaped roofs; and the Hrádek silver museum, where tours go down into a medieval mine.

The ossuary can upset younger or sensitive kids, so talk it through first.
