Reduced opening hours for shops over New Year period

Shops in Czechia will have reduced opening hours on New Year's Eve, with most closing in the early evening around 5 or 6 p.m., warns the president of the Trade and Tourism Association, Tomáš Prouza. On New Year's Day, stores more than 200 square metres in size must remain closed by law. However, shops at airports, train stations, and petrol stations are allowed to open for business.
