December 24 (Christmas Eve)
Christmas Eve in the Czech Republic can be compared to Christmas Day or Thanksgiving in the United States. There is not much activity anywhere and the streets are quiet. Museums, galleries, tourist attractions, most stores and most restaurants are closed. Banks and post offices are closed. Public transport runs on a special schedule, which can be very limited after 6 p.m. (20-minute metro intervals, 30-minute tram intervals).
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.
