Bridge day check

Falls midweek on a Wednesday. It splits the week rather than extending the weekend, so bridging costs two days of leave either side.

What the day is for

11 November marks the restoration of Polish statehood in 1918, with an official ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and a large, sometimes contentious, march in Warsaw.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks, offices and most shops closed under the Sunday trading rules.

Getting around

Holiday timetables with extensive central Warsaw closures.
