In Slovakia we have four days of national holiday. During these days we do not work, neither we go to school, and almost all the stores are obligated to be closed whole day. This does not affect restaurants, cafés, or gas stations, however, some of them choose to close voluntarily. Slovakia is quite a religious country which means we have ten more non-working days, which are directly connected with religious events. We recommend you put these dates in your calendar to be ready for prolonged weekends. You can better plan your trips or homecoming.
