São Tomé and Príncipe records 8 holidays in 2025. 8 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Dia da Independência (12 Jul 2025), Dia das Forças Armadas (6 Sep 2025) and Dia de São Tomé (21 Dec 2025) fall on a weekend in 2025, so they hand back no extra day off. Dia do trabalhador (1 May 2025), Dia da Reforma Agrária (30 Sep 2025) and Natal (25 Dec 2025) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Sep, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 87 days, between 3 Feb 2025 and 1 May 2025. The last was Natal on 25 Dec 2025.
