A half-hour drive east of Prague is the splendidly Gothic Kutná Hora, the medieval silver-mining town where the film version of Les Misérables was shot. The distinctive spires of its Cathedral of St.Barbara - whose roof seems to be draped from them - dominate the old centre of town, from where you can still don a hood and descend into the mineshafts. Be sure not to miss the macabre baroque-era ossuary, where monks arranged the bones of plague victims into fantastic decorative sculptures and chandeliers. Admission 110Kc. Open 9am-5pm Oct, Apr; 9am-6pm Sept, May-June; 10am-6pm, July-Aug; closed Mon. Ossuary, Zámecká 127, Kutná Hora (00 420 327 561 143). Admission 30Kc. Open 9am-noon, 1pm-5pm Oct-Apr; 8am-6pm May-Sept.

Opposite the French embassy is the 'Lennon wall'. During the communist era it was here that revolutionaries daubed anti-government slogans, running the risk of arrest. Today the wall is covered with graffiti - poems and words of peace written by millions of visitors from around the world. To get there, as you head towards the West bank of the Vltava across Charles Bridge take the steps on your left hand side. This takes you into an oval shaped square Na Kampě. Cross this and turn right.
