OPEN HOUSE Thessaloniki 2024

After three years of absence due to the pandemic, this year's Open House Thessaloniki will be back on the weekend of November 23rd and 24th, 2024! For this 13th edition, the event will highlight the theme of "Accessibility and Inclusion," showcasing buildings, projects, and installations that champion universal design, equal access, and social justice.
Stay tuned for more information on the participating buildings, special events, and activities that will make this year's Open House Thessaloniki an unforgettable experience. In the meantime, mark your calendars and prepare to rediscover the city of Thessaloniki through the lens of architecture and urbanism.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, Open House is a global festival of architecture that takes place in over 50 cities worldwide. During this weekend-long event, hundreds of buildings and sites of architectural interest are opened to the public, offering free guided tours led by architects and volunteers.
Thessaloniki has been part of the Open House network since 2012, and over the years, the event has welcomed thousands of visitors who have had the opportunity to explore the city's architectural heritage and contemporary landmarks.
This year's edition is particularly significant as it coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Great Fire of Thessaloniki, which devastated the city in 1917 and led to its reconstruction in the early 20th century. As such, Open House Thessaloniki 2024 will pay special attention to the architecture and urban planning of this period.
In addition to the building tours, Open House Thessaloniki 2024 will also feature a series of talks, workshops, and exhibitions on the theme of "Accessibility and Inclusion." These events will explore how architecture can create more inclusive and equitable communities and how we can all contribute to building a more accessible and sustainable city.
So whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about the city you live in, make sure to join us for Open House Thessaloniki 2024. It's a unique opportunity to discover the city's hidden gems, learn about its architectural history, and be inspired by the power of design to create a more inclusive and equitable world.
