My train did not leave until 15:08, so I still had plenty of time to explore Prague: A walk into the Vinohrady district, the metro back to old town, visit an exihibit of alchemical labs rediscovered in 2002, climbing up to the metronome, then down and up to the castle, stumbling on the Chocolate Art Museum, hunting down street art, and then poké for lunch. Then streetcar back to hotel, walk to train station, go to Kutná Hora, check in, and still have several hours to locate and photograph buildings to seen in the Kutná Hora game rules. Busy day!

Speculum Alchemiæ claims there tunnels to Old Town Hall, Prague Castle, and Republic Square. Prague Castle is the other side of the river, so that would be quite some tunnel for something predating modern engineering.
