Offices, banks, department stores and most small shops are closed on public holidays. It is very common for people in Czech to take a few days off following national holidays, mostly to travel to their so called 'chata' - weekend cottages. National Holidays in Prague will have little impact on tourists except that many tourist attractions will be closed, however restaurants and other private run companies will be open as usual. But don't worry - we're sure you'll enjoy any day in Prague - if it is national holiday or not.
