It is possible to enter opening hours for almost everything that has opening hours. Supermarkets and small convenience stores close in most countries at different times (even in the same city), in metropolitan areas there are often small shops open the whole night. Some pharmacies, gas stations, pubs and fast-food-restaurants are open 24/7. This is a very important information if you are looking for a certain facility at night.

Additionally you can tag the URL where the current opening hours can be looked up with opening_hours:url=http://example.org/.

How to map

This is a property tag so it must go with a related tag; e.g.,

• amenity=biergarten,
• amenity=fast_food,
• amenity=fuel,
• amenity=library,
• amenity=parking,
• amenity=pharmacy,
• amenity=pub,
• amenity=restaurant,
• amenity=toilets
• shop=bakery,
• shop=convenience,
• shop=farm,
• shop=supermarket,
• tourism=museum,
• ...

• PH Public Holiday, can be used to indicate different opening hours during public holidays (e.g., Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00; PH 10:00-12:00; PH Su off)

The above example means normal hours are monday to friday 9am to 5pm, except on public holidays it is 10am to 12pm, except public holidays that fall on a Sunday.

The general syntax for the value is: week we wd hh:mm-hh:mm (e.g., > week 25 Mo 08:30-20:00)

Rules

• Consecutive hours [always needs open-close] separated by "-" · (e.g., > 08:30-20:00)
• Consecutive weekdays open separated by "-" · (e.g., > Mo-Fr)
• Consecutive monthdays open separated by "-" · (e.g., > Dec 20-26) or (e.g., > Dec 20-Jan 06)
• Open with periodicity "n" within a range of consecutive monthdays, the range is followed by "/n" (e.g., > 02-30/n)

• Different hours on different days are separated by ";" (e.g., > Mo 10:00-12:00,12:30-15:00; Tu-Fr 08:00-12:00,12:30-15:00; Sa 08:00-12:00)

reads as: this opening hours for this days ; this opening hours for this days

• A weekday off will be tagged as "wd off" (e.g., > Tu off)
• A range of weekdays off will be tagged as "wd-wd off" (e.g., > Tu-Th off)
• A month off will be tagged as "mo off" (e.g., > Aug off )
• A range of months off will be tagged as "mo-mo off" (e.g., > Aug-Sep off)
• A monthday off will be tagged as "mo md off" (e.g., > Dec 25 off)
• A range of monthdays off will be tagged as "mo md-md off" (e.g., > Dec 24-26 off) or "mo md - mo md off" (e.g., > Dec 25-Jan 06 off )
• Exceptions to a range of days, first the range then the exception (e.g., > Mo-Sa 10:00-20:00; Tu off) or (e.g., > Mo-Sa 10:00-20:00; Tu 10:00-14:00) (this means these are not additions, for example Mo-Fr 08:00-12:30; We 14:00-17:00 means that on Wednesdays, the shop is only opened in the afternoons and not additionally)
• If it is in the first or last day of a range then don't use the exception rule, use the usual (e.g., > Mo-Fr 10:00-20:00; Sa 10:00-14:00)
• Non-consecutive or semi-consecutive days of the week will be tagged as wd[x] (e.g., Su[3] 09:00-12:00)

This is used to indicate the 3rd Sunday of the month from 9am to 12pm.

Use -1 to indicate the last day of the month; e.g., Aug Th[-1] means last Thursday in July.

Can use grouping, (e.g., Su[1,3,5] and Su[1-3])

• If hours are non stop some days then (e.g., > 00:00-24:00)
• If it is 24 hours 7 days a week it has a specific value: 24/7

this way it can render a specific icon.

• A special time value to mark the time the sun rises is: sunrise.
• A special time value to mark the time the sun sets is: sunset.
• A + behind a time means "from" or "open end" (e.g., Sa 22:00+ or Sa 18:00-22:00+)

Implementation

JavaScript implementation by User:Ypid:

• online evaluation
• source code
• Map showing nodes with opening_hours
• Does follow the formal specification from Netzwolf.
• Based on initial coding and design done by AMDmi3.

Branch of Ypids JavaScript library by User:AMDmi3 (not yet merged with the branch from User:Ypid).

• javascript library with wide set of features and nice documentation
• demo

Code

• PHP code in SVN to parse opening_hours.
• Services_Openstreetmap, a PEAR PHP package for working with the OSM API, supports parsing a wide range of Opening Hours syntax - with examples here.

Rendering

Just in the case of opening_hours=24/7 it can be something like adding a 24 to the object icon.

The rest of values have no rendering and should be accessed with context menu or alike.

Implementations

OsmAnd

OsmAnd uses this tag in the POI search screen. The colour of the arrow changes when the POI is open, closed or the state is unknown. The implementation is only partial, currently no dates, weeknumbers or holidays are supported, but most values should get parsed.

Screenshot of Osmand 0.8.1 taken on 2012-07-27 showing the feature of displaying the direction arrows in green or red (or grey if unknown) depending of the tagging of opening_hours on each object in the raw OSM data.

OpenLinkMap

OpenLinkMap creates a clickable POI overlay over an osm based slippy map. Clicking on a POI opens a dialog window showing informations about it, including its opening hours and open/closed state

Opening hours for Ulm, Neu-Ulm & surroundings

The web application is available on http://oeffnungszeiten.ulmApi.de. Opening hours for the local area are visualized on a map. The source code of this application is freely licensed and available via GitHub. Adapting the application to a different city is very easy and described on the GitHub page.
