Visitors flock to Prague Castle for Open House Day

Crowds of people came to Prague Castle on Sunday for Open House Day to see parts of the complex that are usually not open to the public. The first arrivals had already been waiting to enter since 7 a.m. and by the time the gates opened at 9 a.m., a long queue had already formed. President Petr Pavel and First Lady Eva Pavlová welcomed the visitors in the castle's Rothmayer Hall. These otherwise inaccessible areas of the castle complex were open to the public for free until 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
