Romania retail and transport schedules for August 15 holiday
In Romania, the August 15 holiday for the Dormition of the Mother of God falls on a Saturday, resulting in minimal changes to retail and transport schedules.
Major supermarket chains, including Lidl, Kaufland, PENNY, Carrefour, Mega Image, Profi, and Metro, are expected to operate according to their standard Saturday hours. Shopping malls and commercial centers will also remain open with typical weekend schedules for stores, food courts, and cinemas.
CFR Călători has announced preparations for increased passenger traffic due to the holiday. The company plans to utilize its full technical capacity and add extra wagons to high-demand routes, specifically those serving pilgrimage sites and the 'Sun Trains' traveling to coastal areas. Travelers are advised to purchase tickets in advance to avoid congestion.
