   • 1994, Christopher Billy, editor, Eastern Europe: Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria (Fodor's Travel Guides), New York, NY: Fodor's Travel Publications, →ISBN, page 203:

     [In Hungary:] Most department stores and gift shops are open weekdays 10–5 or 6, Saturday until 1. Grocery stores are generally open weekdays from 7 or 8 am to 7 pm; “nonstops,” or éjjeli-nappali,^[sic] are open 24 hours.
