Shops in Windhoek and Swakopmund are generally open 9-5. Banking hours are 8-1 and 2:30-5 Monday-Saturday. Restaurants vary but usually operate noon-3 and 6-10, although cafés frequently stay open all day. Nightclubs stay open late; the closing hour usually depends on the number of customers. Even on public holidays many shops will be open—only banks, government offices, and business premises will close.
