Nemzeti ünnep
1848 Revolution Memorial Day
Sunday, 15 Mar 2026 · Hungary · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
15 March marks the 1848 revolution against Habsburg rule. Everyone wears a red-white-green cockade, and the National Song is read aloud on the steps of the National Museum where Petőfi is said to have recited it.
Do shops and banks close?
Public holiday; banks, offices and most shops closed.
Getting around
Sunday timetables; large demonstrations and marches close central Budapest streets.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
