Shops open on Sunday: This is how you celebrate the third Advent in NRW!

In North Rhine-Westphalia, December 15, 2024 will be a very special day for many shopping fans: On this Sunday, numerous cities invite you to a pre-Christmas shopping experience. During the pre-Christmas period, Sunday shopping, which opens many shops for up to five hours from 1 p.m., is extremely popular with customers. Like the article by TheWest reports, shoppers not only benefit from the extensive range in the stores, but also from the festive atmosphere that the Christmas markets spread in city centers.

The so-called shop opening law in North Rhine-Westphalia allows shops to be open on Sundays in special cases, such as at festivals or trade fairs, whereby Sunday offers cities the opportunity to liven up their city centers. This coming weekend, cities such as Aachen, Bochum and Mönchengladbach, among others, will be opening their shops and thus creating more space for visitors to experience. According to the report by Localpedia North Rhine-Westphalia is the most populous federal state in Germany with a large number of lively cities, which makes the event even more attractive.

Although most shops must remain closed on Sundays and public holidays, citizens can take advantage of a variety of activities and shopping opportunities to get in the mood for the upcoming festival. This special event not only attracts domestic buyers, but could also attract visitors from neighboring states and the neighboring countries of Belgium and the Netherlands. This means that Sunday shopping offers an ideal opportunity to get gifts and treats for Christmas.
