Bridge day check
Falls on a Tuesday. Book the Monday off and you get a four-day weekend — expect a lot of colleagues to do exactly that.
Book off 5 Jan 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
La Befana, the broomstick witch, brings sweets or coal to children on 6 January. It closes the Italian Christmas season and the school break.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and most shops close; markets and tourist sites open.
Getting around
Holiday timetables with heavy return travel at the end of the Christmas period.
When it falls each year
