Austria retail availability during National Day holiday

On Monday, October 26, 2026, Austria observes its National Day, resulting in widespread store closures. While most retail locations will be closed for the two-day holiday period, select establishments will remain operational for consumers requiring urgent supplies.

Certain SPAR locations, particularly those situated at major railway stations and the Graz airport, are scheduled to remain open. Additionally, SPAR express shops at gas stations will maintain regular service. Consumers are advised to use online location finders to verify specific holiday opening hours.

Major discounters such as Hofer and Lidl will be closed, as their seasonal holiday openings from the summer period are no longer in effect. Some Billa locations may also offer limited availability.
