Prague Open House is one of the most exciting architectural events in the city.

It is an excellent opportunity for both local and international students to get some in-depth knowledge about Prague’s urban history. This event is English-friendly and welcomes people of all ages and professions – you don’t have to be an architecture and design expert to enjoy the tour. You can check out previous years’ venues on the website, and follow Open House Praha on social media for updates on this year’s program.
