Netherlands records 11 holidays in 2026. 9 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Eerste Paasdag (5 Apr 2026), Eerste Pinksterdag (24 May 2026) and Tweede Kerstdag (26 Dec 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Nieuwjaarsdag (1 Jan 2026) and Hemelvaartsdag (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 3 of them. The longest run without one is 214 days, between 25 May 2026 and 25 Dec 2026. The next is Eerste Kerstdag on 25 Dec 2026.
