How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Easter Monday, Liberation Day, Labour Day and Republic Day are key dates to test in spring.
  • Ferragosto on 15 August is a major fixed holiday and can combine well with weekends.
  • Local patron-saint holidays can matter in addition to the national calendar.

Regional and calendar caveats

The planner combines weekends with supported public-holiday data and can use first-level regional calendars where the dataset provides them. Employer-specific, municipal and sector-specific days can still differ.
