Local planning
Business-hour guidance
Sunday Trading Ban
Poland enforces a strict Sunday trading ban. Most supermarkets, shopping malls, and large retail outlets close, though small owner-operated shops, pharmacies, and gas stations remain open.
Municipal Service Hours
City Hall departments in Krakow operate core administrative hours on weekdays, while resident service centers in major malls offer extended evening hours until 18:00.
Public Holidays and Long Weekends
National holidays like Labour Day (May 1), Constitution Day (May 3), and All Saints Day (November 1) see widespread closures across offices, banks, and retail.
Dining and Nightlife Flexibility
Restaurants in central Krakow and Kazimierz remain open seven days a week, often serving late into the night on weekends, unaffected by retail trading laws.
