By: Gracie Schutt Bones and skulls are normally popular Halloween decorations, but at the Sedlec Ossuary, in Kutná Hora – a town about an hour from the city of Prague – bones and skulls are everywhere you look. With walls lined up and down with bones, chandeliers crafted human skulls, and glass cases filled with wounded heads, the Sedlec Ossuary is a popular place among tourists. The Sedlec Ossuary is a Roman Catholic Chapel, the oldest in Europe at 600-years-old, that was created with 40,000 human remains. It was inspired by Jerusalem design, with a high level of gothic style. “It’s not a dark tourism spot at all, and we do not want to be perceived like that,” says Radka Krejčí, the director of the ossuary. She further explains that even though people might come because they assume it is dark tourism, she wants people to know that this is a sacred place and to respect the Christian values it has. It is still to this day used for Catholic mass and other ceremonies. Many of the tourists have not gotten this message that this chapel is a spiritual place, not a place for pictures, creepiness, or publicity. One of...
STR (Smith Travel Research) reports that in the second quarter of this year Prague moved closer to other European destinations’ average room rates as it chips away at its reputation as a cheap destination. The average room rate in Prague has risen at a faster pace than, for example, Vienna and Berlin, and this upward trend is something the capital is keen to hold on to. In June, the year-on-year increase in the average room rate in Prague overtook Berlin and Vienna, recording price growth of more than 19%. Prague’s hotel room rates are now similar to those of historically more expensive European destinations and have stormed ahead of those charged by eastern neighbours such as Bratislava and Warsaw. In June, the average daily hotel room rate in Prague was €126, compared to around €140 in Vienna and Berlin. Neighbouring destinations such as Bratislava and Warsaw were well below this figure (with Bratislava reporting €100 and Warsaw €108). In April and May, Prague even outperformed the German capital in its average room rate. “Prague finds itself on a healthy path forwards and needs to maintain this momentum. Our aim is to steadily strip Prague of its tag as a cheap...
