NEED TO KNOW
Opening Hours
Most shops are open from 10am until 8pm. Large shopping centres stay open until
10pm or later. Hours are shorter on Sunday, from about noon to 8pm.
Customs Regulations
Items more than 100 years old cannot be taken out of the country. Anything vaguely
'arty', such as art, musical instruments, antiques or antiquarian books (meaning those
published before 1975) must be assessed by the
Expert Collegium
. Bring two photo-
graphs of your item, your receipt and your passport. The bureaucrats will issue a re-
ceipt for tax paid, which you show to customs officers on your way out of the country.
