Public holidays by country
Every public holiday in 120 countries for 2025–2028, with the weekday each one falls on and how many of them land on a working day — which is the number that decides how much time off you actually get.
What these pages are counting
A list of dates is easy; the useful figure is how many of them you actually get off. That depends on the country's own working week, so every count here starts from the rest days that country keeps rather than from a Saturday-and-Sunday assumption.
Each country page also shows where the long weekends fall — a holiday next to a rest day, with one bridge day in between — because that is what turns a day off into a trip.

FAQ
Why does it matter which day a holiday falls on?
Because a holiday on a rest day is a holiday you do not get. Most countries do not move them, so two years with the same holiday list can give very different amounts of time off.
Is the weekend always Saturday and Sunday?
No, and assuming it is was a real bug on this site. Iran rests Thursday and Friday; Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel rest Friday and Saturday. Every count on these pages uses the country's own rest days.
