On the other hand, they come alive at the end of the day, especially at weekends (some are closed on Sundays and/or Mondays). Happy hours are sometimes organized (the 5-7pm slot is the most commonly used for this purpose). Cafés, where non-alcoholic drinks (tea, coffee, fruit juices, etc.) and pastries are popular, are generally open from 8am until late afternoon, or even until 10pm.
