Bridge day check
Falls midweek on a Wednesday. It splits the week rather than extending the weekend, so bridging costs two days of leave either side.
What the day is for
28 October marks the 1918 founding of Czechoslovakia, with state decorations awarded at Prague Castle in the evening.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks, offices and most shops closed under the retail closure law.
Getting around
Sunday services.
When it falls each year
