In Groningen, you can shop seven days a week: from Tuesday through Friday, most shops are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturdays, you can shop until 5 p.m., and on Mondays, most shops in the city centre are closed until 1 p.m. (with some exceptions). On weekdays, most shops are open until 6 in the evening.

Shop every day, including Sundays

No commitments and the world at your feet: that’s the Sunday feeling at its best. Want to go to a film, see a live theatre performance or a check out a museum? How about having a drink, or deciding spur of the moment to eat out, or just having fun shopping? In Groningen, it’s all possible: shops in the city are regularly open for business on Sundays. During the week, shops in Groningen stay open extra long hours on Thursday evenings – doors don’t close until 9 p.m.
