The Czech Prison Service announced nationwide open house events scheduled for November 15 and November 25, 2026. These tours allow the public to view accommodation spaces, classrooms, and inmate workspaces to showcase the work of prison officers and rehabilitation efforts. Participation requires prior registration, background checks, and security screenings, with restrictions on recording devices and age requirements. Due to overwhelming public interest, the online registration system for these events experienced technical issues and crashes. At certain locations, such as the Ostrava-Heřmanice prison, all available tour slots were fully booked within minutes of the system being restored. Visitors must be at least 18 years old with no criminal record, and family members of inmates are excluded from this specific event. Attendees must undergo security screening and are prohibited from bringing mobile phones, cameras, smartwatches, or any other recording devices into the facilities. Separately, thirteen accessible caves in the Czech Republic, including sites in the Moravian Karst, were scheduled to open to tourists on September 28, 2026, during a state holiday.
