Sunday Shopping Ban
Shops have traditionally had more limited hours on weekends, but since March 2018 new regulations that will from 2020 ban Sunday trading in Poland entirely (bar 7 Sundays) have gone into effect. Phased in gradually, in 2018 trade was only allowed on the first and last Sundays of each month, forcing shops to close on the intervening Sundays. As of 2019, trade is only allowed on the last Sunday of each month. There are only a few exemptions to the rule, namely pharmacies, gas stations, kiosks, bakeries, open-air markets and souvenir shops (oh, thank god). Note that the Sunday hours we list for venues are the hours they keep only on those Sundays when trade is allowed. The following is a list of Sundays when shops are allowed to be open:Dec. 15, 22, 29 | Jan. 26 | Feb - N/A.
