December 25 - 26 (Christmas Holidays)
Most museums, galleries, tourist attractions and restaurants in the center of Prague keep normal or slightly shortened opening hours. Many stores are closed by law. Banks and post offices are closed. Public transport runs on its Sunday schedule with longer intervals between connections.
