Europe Holidays 2026

The face of the Europe calendar

Europe is built on the solar calendar with a Christian layer: Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday all move with Easter — the first full moon after the equinox. Most Western European countries give 10–14 public holidays, but the interesting part is local holidays: the states add a royal birthday, a patron saint or a liberation day, so the calendars of Spain and Switzerland differ from city to city.
