On Wednesday, May 8th, commemorate Victory Day (Den vítězství) in Prague by exploring historical sites that are typically inaccessible to the public.

Here are some of the locations opening their doors for free:

Liechtenstein Palace

Residents and visitors to Prague will also be able to see the interiors of the Liechtenstein Palace (Lichtenštejnský palác) on Prague’s Kampa Island, which is usually not accessible to the general public.

Currently, the historic building is used to host state events and to accommodate prominent political figures. During their official visits to the Czech Republic, the palace was home to the Spanish King Juan Carlos and his wife, the British Queen Elizabeth II, and the Emperor of Japan Akihito.
