Kutna Hora: is a medieval silver mining town that is just an hour away by car. In the 13th century, silver was discovered here, and a few decades later, the royal mint was established.

Konopiste is renowned for its large collection of Ferdinand's hunting trophies and weapons as well as antique furniture and art objects. The Rose Garden is popular with all visitors and offers perfect photo opportunities.

Terezin Memorial: can be found in the town of Terezin and was built as an army fortress by Emperor Josef II in the 18th century. From almost the very beginning, it served as a prison, but later during WWII, it took a more sinister role as a Gestapo prison, Jewish ghetto and concentration camp.

Living conditions were terrible and those few who survived were later transported to the extermination camps in the east of the country. Terezin became a memorial in 1947.
