Easter like every other holiday in Prague raises several questions about stores opening and closing hours. Expected transport disruptions and areas to visit are other concern issues. This year Good Friday falls on March 29, Easter Sunday will be March 31 while Easter Monday will be April 1.
Prepare to shop in supermarkets and other major retailers on Good Friday but not on Easter Monday. Their closure follows a law introduced in 2016 demanding stores over 200 square meters in size to be closed on specific Czech national holidays like Easter Monday.
Some of the facilities affected by this law include supermarkets, and clothing stores, among others. Sensitive areas are exempted from closure such as pharmacies, gas stations, shops at airports, railway stations, and hospitals. This law ensures employees in these facilities spend holidays with their families.
Government offices and banks will close their regular services from Friday to Monday. Travelers around Czech should expect a lower frequency of services with trams, the metro, and buses. These services will operate on a public holiday schedule.
Where To Catch Easter Fun For Individuals and Families
Main Easter markets such as the Old Town and Wenceslas Square are popular for individual and family fun during Easter. Visitors will enjoy traditional crafts, cuisines, painting of Easter Eggs, live concerts, folk performances, and more.
Prague’s Holešovice funfair and the Prague Zoo will also be full of activities for individuals and families. Nature lovers will have the chance to explore green spaces like the Botanic Garden in Troja.
Prague Castle and most castles and chateaux will treat guests to their Easter-dedicated visitor season activities. The National Museum will be open to history lovers. Art enthusiasts will enjoy the Prague National Gallery, Kunsthalle, and The Museum of Applied Arts.
It is best to confirm with the specific facilities for their detailed operating hours during the Easter holiday.
