Most shops in Slovakia will be closed during the Easter holiday, including those selling groceries, electronics, clothes, and cosmetics.

Most retail outlets must remain closed during national holidays under legislation implemented in 2017, but there are some exceptions.

Petrol stations, shops at airports and rail and bus stations, and pharmacies are open. Cafés, restaurants, and other service establishments can also remain open.

Major retail chains like Lidl, Billa, Kaufland, Coop Jednota, and Tesco will close their shops on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
