Find out when a shop opens and closes on the day you plan to visit.

The idea

Ask ¿A qué hora abre? for opening time and ¿A qué hora cierra? for closing time; add the day.

Examples

  • ¿A qué hora abre la tienda el lunes?What time does the shop open on Monday?
  • ¿A qué hora cierran los sábados?What time do you close on Saturdays?
  • El martes abrimos a las nueve.We open at nine on Tuesday.
  • El jueves cerramos a las ocho.We close at eight on Thursday.
  • ¿Abren el domingo por la tarde?Are you open on Sunday afternoon?
  • El viernes la tienda cierra al mediodía.The shop closes at noon on Friday.
