Denmark records 14 holidays in 2026. 10 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Påskedag (5 Apr 2026), Pinsedag (24 May 2026) and 2. juledag (26 Dec 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Nytårsdag (1 Jan 2026), Skærtorsdag (2 Apr 2026) and Kristi Himmelfartsdag (14 May 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 4 of them. The longest run without one is 214 days, between 25 May 2026 and 25 Dec 2026. The next is Juledag / 1. juledag on 25 Dec 2026.
