🕐 Opening hours on the trading Sunday

When shops actually open on those Sundays — and this is not a shop's own notice but, in several cantons, a statutory requirement. Basel-Stadt permits opening only from 1 p.m.

Solothurn

Adventsverkauf Solothurn · 11:00–17:00 in the town of Solothurn (Stadt- und Gewerbevereinigung). The law allows 9:00–18:00 (§ 2 para. 1 VWAG).

⚖️ The cantonal rule in the words of the act

Who designates the Sundays, how many are permitted, what hours the act itself fixes — and is there a second ceiling per shop? The canton of Solothurn decides that, not the town, which is why it does not sit with the individual date.
