It’s Not Pointless

We offer you a chance to discover Prague like you’ve never seen it before! Only we can take you to dozens of usually inaccessible buildings – once a year and for free. We open the city for everyone – we engage children in interactive tours and, as one of the few Czech festivals, we offer special programs for people with disabilities. The festival is organized by the nonprofit Open House Praha, z. ú., a small team of enthusiasts who work on the festival in their free time. The event requires the involvement of hundreds of volunteers. Admission to the buildings during the festival is free of charge, which is one of the rules of the international license provided by Open House Worldwide. We want everyone to enjoy this celebration of architecture.

Why Do We Need You?

Behind this unique experience are demanding year-long preparations and financial expenses. The festival would never be able to happen without the support from donors and partners and without the priceless help of hundreds of volunteers. Your donations help us organize not only the festival but also many other amazing tours throughout the year, including e.g. events for our incredible volunteers. You can send a one-off donation of any amount, or become a regular supporter and join the Architecture Lovers Club.

You are doing meritorius work, which is something that has been close to my heart all my life. If we don’t teach people to love architecture, then architecture will pay the biggest price. I think that the activities of the Open House Prague festival and other organizations that are trying to bring not only historical but also modern architecture closer to the public are leaving a positive mark. It is wonderful to see that it works.
