November 30: Explore Prague Castle for Free!

For one day only, Prague Castle will open its doors to the public, granting access to its normally restricted state rooms at no cost.

This special open house event is set for Saturday, November 30, and will allow visitors to step inside the grand spaces where President Petr Pavel meets with dignitaries and hosts important gatherings.

Along with this rare behind-the-scenes look, guests can also explore Prague Castle’s classic visitor circuit for free, including St. Vitus Cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and the Golden Lane.

In addition, the castle’s permanent exhibitions will be accessible to all attendees, giving a full view of Prague Castle’s historical and cultural significance.

Some rooms will feature festive Christmas decorations. As part of an Advent celebration, visitors can join a “Christmas Walk through Prague Castle” program, bringing a holiday atmosphere to the centuries-old halls and courtyards.

On the terrace near the Prague Castle Riding Hall, families will find the picturesque Bethlehem Yurt by the Forman Brothers Theatre, along with art workshops designed for children.

Meanwhile, Rožmberk Palace will host “The Fragile Beauty of Christmas,” a special exhibit showcasing traditional Czech holiday decorations amid a magical forest of Christmas trees adorned with Czech blown-glass ornaments.

Each Advent Sunday, concerts by The Music of the Castle Guard and local youth choirs will also fill the castle grounds, bringing additional warmth and joy to the festive setting.

The Open House will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This popular event was held for the first time in March, drawing over 15,000 visitors, and organizers expect another enthusiastic turnout.
