About these dates

A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.

Dates come from the open-source python-holidays project (0.106, MIT licence), which follows each country’s laws and official calendars; NonWorkingDays built these tables from it on 15 October 2026. Names are shown as the source gives them, in the local language and in English, without machine translation.

Dates marked “estimated” follow lunar or religious calendars and can move by a day when they are announced. Days off decreed at short notice, such as bridge days, may be missing. Check with an official source before you book.

Long weekends count the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and nationwide public holidays only. “When” counts days by the local date in Lisbon.

! Checked against Codigo do Trabalho art. 234 (Lei 7/2009, Diario da Republica; text read in a reproduction because dre.pt needs JavaScript), Decreto Legislativo Regional 17/2024/M, Dia da Autonomia (Madeira government copy), Jornal Oficial da Regiao Autonoma da Madeira, I Serie n. 206, 16 Dec 2024 on 16 October 2026, with caveats: The 13 mandatory days, the Lisbon and Porto municipal days and the Azores and Madeira regional days match official sources (Madeira's Autonomy Day added); municipal days of the other municipalities are not included.
