Opening hours, Television & Radio

Shops: opening times

Opening hours are restricted, but have been considerably extended in recent years. In Göttingen, supermarkets (e. g. Real, Tegut, Rewe, Penny) and other large stores are open Monday through Saturday until 9 or 10 pm. Smaller shops usually close around 6 pm. All shops are closed on Sunday, except for gas stations and a couple of shops inside the train station. You can usually pay at all shops by EC card, but not always with a credit card.

Forms for registering and cancelling registration are available online or at the banks.
