An easy day trip from Prague (2 hours by train), this sleepy Czech town is famous for its creepy-cool bone church or ossuary, Kostnice Sedlice. At first glance, its Tim Burtonesque bone chandelier may seem a bit shocking, but in the end, you just can’t turn away. And luckily for your friends and family back home, cameras are allowed inside.

Make your way through the town’s winding cobblestone alleys to a cozy, medieval pub for a hearty feast of wild boar goulash with potato dumplings in a cranberry sauce and a half liter mug of the local beer.

As with most Czech cities, there is always one church that stands out above the rest, but here you have two: the bone church and Saint Barbara Cathedral. But the route to this second church alone is an inspiration in itself, with statues graceful and grand lining the narrow road, and overlooking a valley with a river running through. You can take the city bus from the train station into town, but it’s also possible to just walk by following the railroad tracks or the river.
