Which country has the most public holidays?
Vatican City tops the ranking in Europe with twenty-six official public holidays, observing Catholic liturgical solemnities and pontifical feast days as state holidays. Among countries with broader workforces, Bulgaria and San Marino lead with eighteen nationwide public holidays each, followed by Albania and Romania with sixteen.
Across European countries, the total number of days off varies significantly based on religious traditions and regional autonomy. In federal countries such as Germany, Spain, and Switzerland, additional statutory holidays are set by individual states, autonomous communities, or cantons. By combining these dates with bridge days around weekends, workers can plan longer breaks with minimal vacation days.
