Most shops across Czechia will close on December 25 under national retail regulations. The law affects all large stores and many online services, leaving only a limited number of places where people can still buy food, essentials, or last-minute items. While the law targets large retail chains, several exceptions remain in place. Smaller shops are allowed to open without restrictions, and the decision is left to individual owners. In practice, many convenience stores stay open, while others choose to close for the holiday. Retail outlets located at transport hubs are also exempt. Shops at railway stations and airports can operate, although those inside metro stations are not covered by the exception. Gas stations are permitted to stay open as well, including those selling food and groceries. Some major chains operate under these exemptions Selected Tesco stores at petrol stations will open on December 25, typically between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., according to company representatives. At Prague’s main railway station, Albert will close completely for both December 25 and 26, while Billa will remain open until 5 p.m. The same applies to Billa at Brno’s main station. At Václav Havel Airport in Prague, Billa will operate until 9 p.m. Pharmacies... The post Christmas Shutdown: Where You Can Shop in Prague on December 25 appeared first on Prague Morning .
