Look up public and bank holidays for any supported country and year. Includes EU public holidays 2025 & 2026.
A public holiday (also called a bank holiday or national holiday) is a day officially designated by law as a non-working day. In most EU countries, employees are entitled to paid leave on public holidays; some countries pay a premium for work performed on those days.
Not all public holidays apply everywhere within a country. In Germany, for example, Reformation Day (31 October) is a public holiday in some federal states but not others. Spain has a mix of national holidays and regional fiestas that vary by autonomous community. VClock flags each holiday as national (applies everywhere) or regional (applies in specific areas) so you can plan accurately.
Many European public holidays are tied to Easter, which falls on a different date each year. Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension Day (40 days after Easter), and Whit Monday (49 days after Easter) all move with it. VClock calculates these dates dynamically for every year using the Gregorian Easter algorithm, so the calendars for 2025, 2026, and beyond are always accurate.
VClock currently covers 10 EU countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, and Austria. Germany and France have their own dedicated pages with year navigation; the other eight are set out in full further down this page, each with its complete holiday table, its national-versus-regional notes, and a paragraph on how the holidays actually work there.

In Italy, national holidays close banks, government offices and most shops, though tourist-area shops and some malls now stay open under regional exemptions. The most distinctive Italian custom is around Ferragosto (15 August, Assumption Day): rather than a single day off, many businesses, factories and even entire towns close for one to two weeks around this date, as much of the country takes its main summer holiday. Beyond the 12 national holidays, most cities also celebrate their patron saint's day as a local holiday — Milan closes for Sant'Ambrogio on 7 December, Rome for Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June, Naples for San Gennaro on 19 September, and Turin and Genoa both for St. John the Baptist on 24 June. Republic Day (2 June) commemorates the 1946 referendum that abolished the monarchy and is marked by a military parade in Rome, while Liberation Day (25 April) marks the end of Nazi occupation and Fascist rule in 1945.

Spain's 8 national holidays are only the baseline: each autonomous community adds up to 2 further regional holidays, and municipalities may add a local feast day, so the actual number of non-working days can reach 14 in some regions and cities. Catalonia, for instance, observes La Diada (11 September), while Andalusia marks Andalusia Day (28 February) — these do not apply nationwide. Most traditional shops, banks and offices close on public holidays, though larger cities designate 'zonas de gran afluencia turística' (high-tourist-footfall zones) where malls and tourist-area shops may stay open regardless. Spaniards also 'hacen puente' (make a bridge): when a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, it is common to take the adjoining Monday or Friday off to create a four-day weekend. National Day (12 October) commemorates Columbus's 1492 arrival in the Americas and is marked by a military parade in Madrid attended by the royal family.

Poland's 14 public holidays are set entirely at the national level — there is no regional variation, so every region observes the same closures. Large supermarkets and shopping centres are shut on public holidays under the same trading-restriction rules that limit Sunday trading, though small convenience stores, petrol stations and pharmacies typically stay open. Banks and post offices close nationwide. All Saints' Day (1 November) is one of the most visibly observed holidays: millions of Poles travel to visit family graves, light candles and lay chrysanthemums at cemeteries, causing some of the year's heaviest road traffic. Constitution Day (3 May) marks the 1791 constitution, one of the oldest written constitutions in Europe, and falls just two days after Labour Day, so many Poles take 2 May off as a bridging day ('długi weekend majowy') to create a five-day break. Corpus Christi and Assumption Day, both religious holidays, reflect Poland's strong Catholic tradition — the country has more public holidays tied to the church calendar than most of its neighbours.

In the Netherlands, shop-closing rules are notably more relaxed than in neighbouring Germany: supermarkets and many high-street shops open with reduced hours on most public holidays, while only Easter Sunday, Christmas Day and King's Day see widespread closures. Banks and government offices close on all 11 official holidays. King's Day (27 April) is the country's biggest public celebration — cities turn orange, and a nationwide 'vrijmarkt' (free market) lets anyone sell secondhand goods on the street without a permit. Liberation Day (5 May) is unusual: it is an official national holiday every year, but only civil servants and some sectors get it off automatically, while most private-sector employees work as normal except during 'lustrum' years — the 5-yearly anniversaries (75th, 80th, and so on) — when it becomes a full public holiday for nearly everyone. Ascension Day and Whit Monday, both floating Christian holidays tied to Easter, are widely used for long weekend getaways, especially to the coast or to Germany and Belgium.

Belgium observes 10 national public holidays uniformly, but each of its three language communities also celebrates its own Community Day — Flemish Community Day (11 July), the French Community's holiday (27 September) and German-speaking Community Day (15 November) — which are days off only for regional government staff and schools in that community, not a nationwide holiday for private-sector workers. On the 10 national holidays, most shops, banks and offices close, though bakeries and small food shops often open for a few morning hours. National Day (21 July) commemorates the 1831 accession of Belgium's first king, Leopold I, and is marked in Brussels with a military and civilian parade along the Rue de la Loi and fireworks in the evening. As in France, Belgians commonly bridge a Tuesday or Thursday holiday into a four-day weekend by taking the adjoining day off, particularly around Ascension Day in May, one of the most popular long-weekend periods of the year.

In Portugal, small businesses, banks and public offices close on public holidays, but large shopping centres are a notable exception — most stay open every day of the year, including Christmas Day and other holidays, unlike the stricter closing rules found in Spain or Germany. Beyond the 13 national holidays, every municipality also observes its patron saint's day; Lisbon's Saint Anthony's Day (13 June) is the best known, part of the wider 'Santos Populares' street festivals in June where neighbourhoods grill sardines and decorate streets with paper lanterns, while Porto celebrates São João on 24 June with a similarly festive atmosphere. Freedom Day (25 April) commemorates the 1974 Carnation Revolution that peacefully ended decades of dictatorship, and is marked with civic ceremonies rather than closures of daily life. Corpus Christi, a moveable Catholic feast in late May or June, remains a full public holiday in Portugal even though several other European Catholic countries have downgraded it to a regional or optional observance.

Sweden takes a lighter regulatory approach to public holidays than much of continental Europe: most supermarkets and shops stay open on 'röda dagar' (red days), though the state-run alcohol retailer Systembolaget closes on the holiday itself and the evening before. Midsummer's Day is the country's most significant cultural holiday — offices and shops in cities often close early on Midsummer's Eve as people head to the countryside for maypole dancing, herring, new potatoes and strawberries, and Stockholm noticeably empties out for the week. Sweden is also unusual in having two floating holidays tied to the calendar rather than a fixed date: Midsummer's Day always falls on a Saturday between 20–26 June, and All Saints' Day falls on a Saturday between 31 October and 6 November, so neither ever disrupts a working week. National Day (6 June) is a comparatively recent addition, only becoming an official non-working public holiday in 2005 — before that it was marked but not a day off.

Austria's 13 public holidays are set at the federal level with no state-by-state variation at all — unlike Germany, every Bundesland observes exactly the same days off. Shops, banks and offices close nationwide on each holiday, with one well-known exception: 8 December (Immaculate Conception) is a public holiday, but Austrian trading law has long permitted shops to open specifically on this date because it traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season. National Day (26 October) commemorates the 1955 law establishing Austria's permanent neutrality after the end of Allied occupation, and is marked by public open days at military barracks and the Hofburg in Vienna, along with flag displays on public buildings. With Epiphany, Corpus Christi, Assumption, All Saints' Day and Immaculate Conception all observed as full public holidays, Austria has one of the highest concentrations of Catholic feast days on its calendar of any European country, reflecting its historically strong Catholic identity.
