Changes in branch opening hours during the holiday season
Christmas and New Year are just around the corner. It's worth checking post office opening hours during this time. This is very important information for all Poczta Polska customers.
The most important thing is which days Poczta Polska branches will be closed or open at different hours, e.g.:
- December 23 (Tuesday) – facilities will be open as usual. 24-hour facilities and those with the longest opening hours in a given voivodeship will be open until 10:00 p.m. The exception is UP Warszawa 1, where they can be open until midnight;
- December 24-26 (Wednesday-Friday) – branches are closed ;
- December 27 (Saturday) – work is carried out according to standard hours for that day;
- December 31 (New Year's Eve) – facilities are open until 4 p.m. 24-hour facilities and those with the longest opening hours in a given voivodeship are open until 6 p.m. The exception is UP Warszawa 1, where they can work until midnight;
- January 1, 2026 (New Year) – facilities are closed ;
- January 2, 2026 (Friday) – work takes place during standard hours;
- January 5 (Monday) – facilities open standard hours;
- January 6 (Tuesday) – branches are closed ;
- January 7 (Wednesday) – return to standard working hours.
Importantly, facilities located in facilities on which they are dependent (e.g. ministries, courts, tax offices, municipal offices, shopping centers or malls) may operate at different hours.
We recommend checking opening hours before your planned visit to the post office. Detailed information about the opening hours of individual branches during the Christmas and New Year period is available on the Poczta Polska and at the branches themselves.
