Open House Prague is organizing a special 90 minutes guided tour of one of the world’s biggest stadiums ever built. With a capacity of 220 000 spectators, the Strahov Stadium was built by architect Alois Dryák in 1926, to host specialized all-age gymnastics festivals known as slets and these activities were part of the Sokol movement. The total stadium area is 63 thousand square meters, equaling approximately nine football pitches! At its peak, 16,000 to 33,000 people were being trained in the stadium with audiences of 137,000 spectators.
The guided tour in English will take you to the presidential lounge, west grandstand and to amazing passageways. Since 2003 the stadium has been listed as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
