Anything to do in Prague on 8th May?
Hi,
As part of my Europe tour, I had planned to be in CZ as follows:
6th May: Drive from Vienna to Prague
7th May: Prague sight seeing
8th May: Prague sight seeing
9th May: Drive from Prague to Salzburg via Cesky Krumlov (have heard this drive is beautiful)
I just realised that 8th May is a public holiday in CZ. Would that then be a waste of day for me? Please advise, I might be able to reschedule. Many thanks!

many places in Prague close on a Monday especially the publicly owned museums but most of the main tourist attractions will still be open the same applies to the 8th, so i would not worry about it.Monday would probably best for touring the Jewish area as these places will be open. I think the only difference you will notice on the holiday is that traffic is far lighter than normal, the public tansport will probably be running a sunday service which is still terrific.
Pibs ,cafes and resturants will all be open as usual, offices and public buildings closed but for the avwerage tourist its buisness as usual.

I wouldn't change plans. Agree with unclegus that it doesn't make a big difference for the average tourist if it's a holiday or not. Of course, if you plan to visit something specific then check online in advance if it is open.
The drive Prague - Cesky Krumlov - Salzburg is not particularly beautiful. The roads are very busy and the traffic is thick.

Thank you both, I will stick to my plans as you advise; except that I should now explore doing something else on the day I was going to drive via Cesky Krumlov.
Any suggestions on other places to explore enroute to Salzburg?
Thanks again

To clear up any confusion my post may have caused: Cesky Krumlov is beautiful and well worth to spend some hours there! Only the *drive* is not particularly beautiful. I doubt you'll find a place that's more beautiful than C. K. between Prague and Salzburg.
