Prague to spooky Czech Sites: Private day trip

The Sedlec Ossuary is famous for displaying one of the world’s largest “memento mori” artworks (a reminder of death). The small chapel features decoratively arranged bones from tens of thousands of people, the result of its cemetery becoming overcrowded in the 16th century. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ossuary features an array of decorative bone structures, and even a bone chandelier that contains one or more of every bone in the human body. The chapel is open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the summer, and closes an hour earlier in the winter. Tickets are available online in advance: http://www.ossuary.eu/
