What the numbers say
In 2026, Norway has 12 nationwide public holidays and Denmark has 10, so Norway gets 2 more days off. They line up on 10 dates, including Første nyttårsdag, Skjærtorsdag, Langfredag and Første påskedag.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Norway has 8 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Denmark (3 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Norway offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Denmark offers 4 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Norway and April in Denmark.
