German Holidays

When it is an official holiday in Germany, count on all of the stores being closed. Restaurants, cafes, tourist attraction, souvenir stores, ice skating rinks, pools, movies, etc. will still be open. Most museums will be open too, but it is always wise to check their websites. Some holidays cause more museum closures, like New Years, Christmas, or Good Friday.
Emergency shopping can be done at the main train station in Frankfurt or the airport. There you will find groceries, pharmacies, and bakeries open.
