May Day / International Workers' Day
Saturday, 2 May 2026 · Bosnia and Herzegovina · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
Officially recognised as a public holiday, so most people have the day off work.
Do shops and banks close?
Expect offices, banks and the majority of shops to be closed.
Getting around
Public transport usually runs a Sunday or holiday timetable.
These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
