A self-guided audio tour in two parts: Sedlec, with the ossuary and the cathedral, and the old town of Kutná Hora about three kilometres away, reached by local bus or train or a longer walk. It starts at the cemetery church of All Saints, whose ossuary bones the woodcarver František Rint arranged in 1867 to 1870, and the Cistercian abbey church of Sedlec, paid for by silver, built between 1290 and 1320, burned in 1421 and rebuilt from 1693, in the end by Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. In the town it begins at Our Lady Na Náměti beside the old ore market, then passes Dientzenhofer's Ursuline convent, the Sankturin House and the Italian Court, Vlašský dvůr, where the Prague groschen was struck and where Wenceslas IV issued the Decree of Kutná Hora in 1409. Beside it rises St James, whose single tower is about 86 metres high; then come the plague column of 1714–1715, the Stone House, St John of Nepomuk, the Stone Fountain of 1493–1495, the former synagogue of 1902 and the Hrádek, now the Czech Museum of Silver. It ends along the terrace of saints in front of the Jesuit college at St Barbara's, the church of the miners' patron saint. For river-cruise passengers this is a full-day trip from Prague, so the ship's own excursion is the safer choice.

Every claim in this tour traces back to a named source — excavation records, the heritage authority for the site, and the primary texts themselves. Nothing is copied from other guidebooks, and anything we can't source doesn't make the recording.
Each stop is built from OpenStreetMap · 95 features in this old town (the field-surveyed mapping database behind Apple Maps), Wikidata · 222 cross-referenced entries (peer-reviewed structured records), the heritage authority below, and the primary historical texts where they exist.
Cross-referenced against Modern excavation publications · academic peer-review.
Every sentence is checked against those sources before it is recorded. If a claim can't be traced, it doesn't make the audio.
Every tour is reviewed by a person before it goes on sale. Stop selection, the route and anything ambiguous come back to the editor for a decision, and those questions routinely send a stop back for another accuracy pass. Nothing publishes on a machine’s say-so.

Tap "Start Walking Tour" and allow location access. The map shows all 15 narration points.
Follow the suggested route or explore freely. GPS tracks your position. Reach a site and the narration plays automatically.
Each site has its own narration. 15 narration points.
Narrations play when you reach each site. No buttons, no track numbers. Walk naturally — the stories find you.
Premium narration that sounds like a documentary. Warm and knowledgeable, not a textbook reading.
Every narration is drafted, cross-checked against primary sources, then passed through a second editorial pass that strips unsupported claims. Dates, names, and citations verified.
See all narration points on the map. Tap any point to hear it early or replay it later.
Every narrated point in Kutná Hora — the Silver Town, St Barbara's and the Sedlec Ossuary, each with its own narration.
Spend an hour or a full day. Skip sites, revisit favourites, take breaks. The tour adapts to you.
15 narration points, including Kamenná kašna, Chrám svaté Barbory, Kostnice Sedlec, Katedrála Nanebevzetí Panny Marie a sv. Jana Křtitele and Kostel Panny Marie Na Náměti. That is about 16 minutes of narration in all, and you walk between the stops at your own pace.
Yes. It plays in your phone’s browser as you walk: no guide, no group, no app to install and no fixed start time.
Three ways, all built in:
The map-tap option means you can stand anywhere — even at home before you travel — and play any narration. GPS just makes it hands-free while you’re actually walking the site.
No. Use the “Download for offline” button before you go, and the entire tour — audio, maps, narration text — works without any data connection. Tap-to-play and the map both work fully offline. GPS itself doesn’t need data; only the download does.
Add the icon first, then download from the icon. On iPhone a guide downloaded in Safari cannot be seen by the home screen icon, so downloading first means downloading the whole thing twice.
Putting it on your home screen — iPhone or iPad (Safari):
On Android (Chrome): tap the three-dot menu at the top right, tap Add to Home screen (some phones say Install app), then confirm. On Android either order works.
If you opened this link from inside Instagram, Facebook or Gmail, you are in that app’s built-in browser. It cannot add anything to your home screen, and a guide downloaded there is thrown away when the app closes. Open the link in Safari or Chrome first.
Two backstops. First, the map shows every site — just tap the marker for the place in front of you. Second, you can manually queue any narration even when GPS is off. The platform never assumes GPS works; it’s the convenience layer, not the gate.
The audio runs ~3–4 hours with the bus or train total, but you walk at your own pace. 15 narration points across the site. Most visitors take 2–4 hours; some spread it over multiple visits. Once you buy it, it’s yours — there’s no expiry and no subscription. Come back next year if you like; the link in your receipt always works.
One purchase covers one device session. Most couples share earbuds and use a single phone — the audio is paced for that. If you want everyone listening on their own device, each person needs their own purchase. We do not gate sharing aggressively; we trust visitors to do the right thing.
Full refund if you never trigger a single narration on-site. Partial refund based on how far you got. See the refund policy for specifics.
