Banks and post offices open on Saturday, but out-of-town services may have shorter hours.

Museum opening times vary. Some major sights close on Monday and open later one evening a week; more modest sights of interest may close off season, so it is advisable to check with the local tourist office.

Note that many restaurants do not open for dinner until around 6 or 7 p.m. Up to this time chain restaurants and fast-food outlets are usually the only places serving meals.
