What the numbers say
In 2026, Denmark has 10 nationwide public holidays and Germany has 9, so Denmark gets 1 more day off. They line up on 7 dates, including Nytårsdag, Langfredag, 2. Påskedag and Kristi Himmelfartsdag.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Denmark has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Germany (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Denmark offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Germany offers 5 and 2. Denmark has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Denmark and May in Germany.
