September 7-15: Czech Museums, Castles, Churches to be Open for Free

In the second week of September (7-15th) European Heritage Days (EHD) will be held in the Czech Republic.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to visit interesting sights that are otherwise inaccessible!

European Heritage Days’ goal is to make the most interesting monuments of all kinds available to the general public, i.e. architectural, archaeological, sacral, technical, as well as museums, galleries and libraries and even other areas in which incredibly extensive collections of movable cultural heritage are kept.

In the context of the European Heritage Days various accompanying events – lectures, concerts, town festivals, as well as competitions and other cultural programs are held.

The event will take place under the patronage of the Association of Historical Monuments of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.

About 800 state-protected sites are expected to join the event. Most of them (but not all) will be free of charge for the days of the festival. These are not only castles, palaces, churches, monasteries, museums, theatres, old houses, gardens and villas, but also industrial buildings – factories, mills, breweries, craft workshops and mines.

In 2024 the main theme of the festival will be ‘Sights unite the world’. A rich accompanying program awaits visitors – classical music concerts, unusual excursions, exhibitions, markets, creative competitions and much more.

The list of participating venues can be viewed on the official website of the event.

In buildings that are usually accessible to the public and where admission is charged, special programs shall be offered during these days (such as special guided tours, concerts, exhibitions, etc.).

Dozens of cities and municipalities are preparing composed programs for their citizens and tourists.
