What the numbers say
In 2026, Denmark has 10 nationwide public holidays and Greenland has 12, so Greenland gets 2 more days off. They line up on 10 dates, including Nytårsdag, Skærtorsdag, Langfredag and Påskedag.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Denmark has 7 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 8 for Greenland (4 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); Greenland offers 5 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is April in Denmark and April in Greenland.
