With the Easter weekend, Bavaria is facing a whole series of public holidays.
When and where you can still go shopping in the supermarkets.
Bavaria - The Easter weekend is just around the corner - and with it numerous public holidays.
If you don't want to stand in front of closed supermarket doors, you should plan when the shops are closed due to legal regulations.
Holy Week is significantly shorter than the other weeks of the year.

Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday: Regular opening hours in Bavaria
Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday are not legally holidays.
Supermarkets are allowed to open regularly on Thursday (March 28th) and Saturday (March 30th).
However, the crowds are likely to be large - after all, everyone still wants to do their Easter shopping.
It would be advisable to start your errands very early on both days.
