How to make your leave go further

Public-holiday planning

  • Freedom Day (25 April), Labour Day, Portugal Day and the December holidays are useful fixed dates to test.
  • Some municipal holidays add local opportunities that a national calendar will not capture.
  • A 22-working-day statutory minimum provides a solid base for multiple optimized breaks.

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.
