Public Holidays (Hungary)
There are some holidays in Hungary when all the schools, shops and offices are closed.
1st January – New Year’s Day
15th March – National Holiday
Good Friday – the Friday preceding Easter Sunday
Easter Monday
1st May
Whitsun/Pentecost – seven weeks after Easter Sunday
20th August – National Holiday
23rd October – National Holiday
1st November – All Saints' Day
25th-26th December – Christmas
Typically, if a public holiday in Hungary falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, the day before the public holiday (Monday) or the day after that (Friday) will be designated as a day off. This way we can have a so-called long weekend. In return, a Saturday (usually one week before or after the public holiday) will be designated as a working day.
