Open House Athens, the renowned architectural event, proudly marks its 10th anniversary this year. Scheduled for Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14, the festival returns with over 70 participating buildings and a number of engaging parallel activities, made possible by the sponsorship of Elvial.
As part of the Open House Europe programme, this year's edition of Open House Athens will highlight the theme of accessibility and inclusion throughout the festival.
Open House Athens offers free architectural guided tours with the goal of fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of architecture among the public. These tours provide a glimpse into the city's exceptional private and public spaces. Hundreds of devoted volunteers, sponsored by Allianz, will guide the tours throughout the festival and provide thousands of visitors with an opportunity to interact with the city and learn more about its architectural heritage.
The main event, Open Tours, features 76 buildings across Athens, showcasing a mix of public and private spaces, museums, residences, and more. Tours are free of charge and no booking is required.
In addition to guided tours, Open House Athens hosts a series of competitions, including Open Photo, Open Vote, Open Your Map, and more, inviting active participation from visitors and enthusiasts. Visit openhouseathens.gr for detailed information.
Open House Athens 2024 takes place under the auspices and with the funding of the Ministry of Culture and Sports and under the auspices of the Municipality of Athens.
Open House Athens is part of Open House Europe, a cooperation project co-funded by the European Union. The project seeks to embrace a more inclusive debate about architecture and strengthen the role of architecture as a positive change-maker addressing relevant social and environmental challenges.
