Questions people ask

Does public transport run on Shabbat?

Most public transport stops from Friday evening until Saturday night, and some cities run limited weekend lines. Plan how you get there and back in advance.

Where do the hours come from?

From the venues themselves: each venue publishes its opening hours in the Laila app. For a venue that has not yet, Laila checks the hours on its public listing, and its page says so. If in doubt, check the venue's page or call before you go.
