Page "Shopping hours" Paragraph 89

Shopping hours are governed by cantonal law and vary accordingly, while the only federally mandated store holiday is August 1 ( national holiday ), as per article 110 III of the Swiss Constitution.

Most often, stores will be open from 08-09: 00 until 19-20: 00, and up until 21-22: 00 on one day per week.

On Saturdays and days prior to public holidays, most stores close at around 16-17: 00.

Stores are also generally closed on Sundays ; see Sunday shopping in Switzerland.
