The Open House Prague festival is returning for its 11th edition, taking place from May 12 to 18.

Starting Monday, visitors can look forward to a diverse program of events, including debates, lectures, guided tours, city walks, exhibitions, and more across Prague.

The highlight of the festival comes on the weekend of May 17–18, when 125 usually inaccessible buildings and spaces across 13 districts of Prague will open their doors to the public for free.

While no registration is required for weekend building visits, some weekday events have limited capacity and require advance booking.

A new addition this year is a mobile app, where users can book tickets and plan their weekend routes through the open sites.

“This year, we’re offering the most extensive lineup of accompanying events in the festival’s history,” said director Klára Veselá.

“Not only have we expanded the program, but we’ve also focused on making it more accessible and engaging for the general public.”

The weekend program is a must for architecture lovers and curious explorers. Visitors are invited not only to Prague’s city center but also to lesser-known neighborhoods like Bohnice, Hrdlořezy, Veleslavín, and Suchdol.

Most locations are open from 10 AM to 6 PM on both days, though exceptions may apply.
