Why you'll love this day trip

Travel from Prague to fascinating Kutna Hora, formerly a silver mining center that competed with Prague for wealth and influence. Visit the extraordinary Sedlec Ossuary with its macabre artistic arrangements, discover the imposing cathedral, and wander through streets lined with historic architecture. Your journey then takes you to Český Šternberk Castle, an impressive medieval fortress dramatically situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the winding river below. Explore the castle's richly decorated interiors featuring family heirlooms, military artifacts, and extensive art collections spanning centuries. At day's end, your driver returns you comfortably to Prague after experiencing these two remarkable Czech treasures in one convenient excursion. Please note that the Cesky Sternberk castle is only open fro April to October. Check the site here for ticket information: https://www.hrad-sternberk.cz/en/plan-your-visit/tours

Kutna Hora
Its extensive deposits lured a flood of settlers in the Thirteenth Century and by its end the town was the seat of the Czech national mint and financial centre of the country. Today, its wealth lies in a thousand years worth of architectural heritage which, unlike Prague's, can be savoured without the pressure of crowds. A daunting prospect perhaps but Kutná Hora's attractions can be found as much in small-scale detail as in the large-scale magnificence of the Fourteenth Century Cathedral of St. Barbara. Stroll along the immaculately-preserved medieval street Ruthardka, or marvel at the Stone Fountain sitting like a giant sandstone crown amid burgher houses. One or two of the larger-scale items shouldn't be missed however. The Bone Church, or Ossuary, is one such, a Cistercian chapel representing a medieval revolution in interior design: bones and nothing but the bones of the dead, from 'noughts and crosses' floor to chandeliered ceiling.

Cesky Sternberk
Originally constructed in 1241, but with renovations taking place in both the 1400s and the 1600s, Český Šternberk is incredibly well preserved for its age. Notable for its riverside location and towering clifftop presence, the castle offers visitors an atmospheric and uniquely personal exanimation of European history. The fact that the castle has now returned to the original family, 20 generations later, provides a pleasing conclusion to the narrative of Český Šternberk and brings new meaning to the family’s heraldic motto ‘The star that never falls down’. Inside the castle, visitors can peruse fifteen rooms, furnished from different historical periods and view a rare collection of 545 copper engravings, depicting the entire history of the Thirty Years' War. The adjacent village (of the same name) grew up around the castle and is a nice example of a small Czech market town.

Positive Experience with Shared Shuttle

I booked their shared shuttle from Positano to Naples airport and it was a great experience! It was on time, the driver was friendly and got us there very efficiently! They also sent over a live tracking link prior to your shared shuttle so you can keep up to date on where your driver is which was very helpful. It was also very inexpensive!

Reliable and smooth transfers

We booked 4 transfers with Daytrip and our experience has been very pleasant and satisfactory. The cars were clean and the drivers arrived in good time and were polite and drove in a safe manner. Our driver Fernando has been great, he even offered to give us some interesting facts about the places we past by.

Paris to Bruges in comfort, style and safety

Trip was excellent if a bit expensive because of our last minute booking. But for 4 people it was a great alternative to the trains with no switching required. Our driver Fernando was excellent. He arrive a little early, informed us he was there with no pressure to start until we were ready, and he handled our bags well at both the pickup and drop off. Well done.

Beautiful gem of a hotel

Il Giardino di Ballaro is exquisite! A little haven in a busy part of the city. The property is beautifully restored. Our suite was amazing - two bathrooms and little separate dressing and sitting rooms. And the staff were lovely - incredibly attentive to our needs, booking a taxi and even providing a takeaway breakfast for our early airport departure. Cannot recommend highly enough!
