Open House Stockholm celebrates its 10th anniversary with a weekend of free tours and activities from 3 to 5 October, inviting residents and visitors alike to explore the city through architecture. Marking a decade of opening doors, the festival continues to reveal the hidden sides of Stockholm, offering rare access to buildings and spaces that are usually closed to the public.

The 2025 edition of Open House Stockholm joins the continent-wide exploration of the shared theme Future Heritage. This theme reflects on how architecture is preserved, valued, and passed on to future generations, and how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s cultural identity.

Across the festival weekend, guided tours will introduce visitors to a wide range of sites—from historic environments and ongoing construction projects to examples of sustainable urban development. The programme highlights how past, present, and future intersect in the city’s development, encouraging conversations about what should endure and what must evolve.

Open House Stockholm 2025 promises fresh perspectives on the built environment, meetings with the people behind the projects, and opportunities to ask questions directly to experts. This year, the celebration of Stockholm’s architecture is also a celebration of ten years of curiosity, dialogue, and discovery.

We invite all visitors of Open House Stockholm to participate in the Open Call for Visual Stories—an opportunity to creatively interpret the festival experience and this year’s Open House Europe theme, “Future Heritage”. Submissions can take any visual form, including photography, short film, drawing, or other artistic expressions.
