What should you consider when planning days off work in 2025?

In 2025, several holidays fall close to weekends, making it easier to plan extended breaks. For instance, with May 1 (Labor Day) on a Thursday, so taking Friday off could result in a four-day weekend. Similarly, Christmas (December 25–26) creates a natural long weekend.

Employees are entitled to an extra day off if a holiday falls on a Saturday, such as May 3 (Constitution Day) and November 1 (All Saints’ Day) in 2025. In some companies, you can have a specific day already pre-assigned as compensation, so it’s worth checking it out with your employer.

Most shops, supermarkets, and retail outlets remain closed on public holidays, with exceptions for gas stations, pharmacies, and small owner-operated stores. Plan your shopping, especially for Easter and Christmas.

Busses, trains, and other means of transport may operate on a different schedule, so it’s worth considering if you wish to go outside and do not own a bike or a car.
