Who gets the most days off?
Counting only national public holidays, the most generous countries in 2026 are Iran (35), Nepal (35), Azerbaijan (28), Myanmar (28), Thailand (28) and El Salvador (26). The fewest are in Macau (0), Djibouti (3), Vietnam (4), Switzerland (4) and Sudan (4). Remember that paid annual leave matters just as much: many countries with few holidays guarantee more vacation days.
Public, bank and regional holidays
A public holiday is a day off set by national law. Bank holidays (UK, Ireland) and regional holidays (US states, German Länder, Swiss cantons, Spanish communities) apply only to some workers or areas — each country page lists them separately, with the regions they apply to.
Long weekends and bridge days
When a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, taking the Monday or Friday off — a bridge day — turns one day of leave into a four-day weekend. Every country page shows all long weekends of the year and the best bridge days.
About the data
Holiday dates come from the open-source Nager.Date database, which calculates fixed, Easter-based and lunar holidays for each year. Islamic and other lunar holidays depend on moon sighting and may move by a day; check official announcements close to the date.
