Opening Hours, Festivals and Holidays
Most offices, shops, post offices and museums are open between 8.30am and 5pm, though some take a break for lunch. Bank hours are extremely convenient, with many opening until 7pm (and some as late as 8pm) from Monday to Friday and until 12.30pm or 1pm on Saturdays. Archeological sites are open every day, usually from 8am to 5pm, though Tikal is open from 6am to 6pm (until 8pm with permission). We've listed the principal public holidays, when almost all businesses close down; in villages, most shops shut during fiestas.
