Days Off Atlas

School calendar

Term dates, half-terms and the days the classrooms are empty.

How to spot them

School days carry a purple School badge on every country calendar, alongside public, bank and regional days.

What they mean

Schools are closed but shops, offices and banks trade as normal. Handy for cheaper midweek travel — and for knowing when everywhere gets busy.

Coverage, honestly

Our official calendar feed publishes school days for some countries but not yet all of them. Full half-term coverage everywhere needs a second data source, which isn't wired up yet.

Calendars with real term dates

These countries have region-by-region school holiday dates, not just general guidance.
