on weekdays and from 10 am to 1 pm on Saturday, but shopping malls are open until 8 or even 10 pm. RUCH kiosks, which sell bus and train tickets, newspapers, and cosmetics, are usually open from 7 am to 7 pm.

Warsaw has four main shopping streets, all in Śródmieście. The larger stores lie on ulica Marszałkowska (from ulica Królewska to plac Zbawiciela) and aleje Jerozolimskie (from Central Station to plac Generała de Gaullea, in Śródmieście). Smaller stores and more specialized boutiques can be found on ulica Nowy Świat and ulica Chmielna. Another fashionable shopping street just a bit farther off is ulica Burakowska, while some smaller designer shops and ateliers are scattered around town.
