What are factors that might affect my shopping habits in this country/city?
Plan your purchase of furniture well if you live in a building without an elevator. Sometimes it is required to pass large pieces of furniture through the window with the help of an outside elevator.

Most shops are open from Monday to Saturday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Many supermarkets are open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays. Shops are mostly closed on Sundays, except shops in the city center (12 noon to 6 p.m.).
