Bridge day check

Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.

Book off 14 Apr 2028 for 4 days off.

What the day is for

Part of an unusually long Norwegian Easter: Thursday, Friday and Monday are all public holidays, and much of the country decamps to mountain cabins.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks and offices close; grocery stores keep restricted hours across the whole Easter week.

Getting around

Heavy Wednesday-evening departures toward the mountains; reduced services on the day.
