Frequently Asked Questions
How many long weekends are there in Poland in 2026?
There are 6 long-weekend periods in Poland in 2026. The longest lasts 4 days on 24-27 December 2026, covering Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Second Day of Christmas.
What is the official source for the 2026 Poland holiday calendar?
The official source is Polish Public Holidays 2026 (dni ustawowo wolne od pracy) (The fourteen statutory non-working days, including Christmas Eve (a public holiday since 2025). When a holiday falls on a Saturday (Assumption Day and Second Day of Christmas in 2026), employees are entitled to another day off scheduled by the employer; Sunday holidays carry no extra day).
What happens when a Polish holiday falls on a Saturday?
Under the Labour Code, a public holiday on a Saturday lowers the working-time quota, so the employer must grant another day off in the same settlement period — the date is chosen by the employer, not fixed nationally. In 2026 this applies to Assumption Day (15 August) and the Second Day of Christmas (26 December). Holidays on Sundays (3 May, 24 May, 1 November in 2026) carry no extra day.
Since when is Christmas Eve a public holiday in Poland?
Christmas Eve (24 December) became a statutory non-working day in 2025, raising Poland's total to fourteen public holidays. In exchange, the law allows trade on one additional Sunday before Christmas.
