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 30 Nov 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
1 December marks the 1918 assembly at Alba Iulia that united Transylvania with Romania. A military parade passes the Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest, and Alba Iulia holds the largest civic celebration, with free bean stew and mulled wine.
Do shops and banks close?
Public holiday; banks, offices and most shops close.
Getting around
Sunday services; parade closures in northern Bucharest from early morning.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
