2027 at a glance
Every day of the year. Filled squares are public holidays; the pale ones are weekends. A holiday touching a weekend is a long one.
Holidays you have, and days off you get
These are the two different questions this page answers. A country can have a long list of public holidays and still give you fewer days away from work than a neighbour with a shorter list, purely because of which weekday they fall on. Only some countries substitute a weekday when a holiday lands on a weekend; where they do not, the holiday simply passes.
