Germany Public Holidays 2026
Vacation Planner 2025-2026
Planning a vacation in Germany is not just about marking public holidays on the calendar; it’s about discovering the country’s rich cultural heritage. Employees typically receive 20 to 30 paid holidays per year, depending on their contract. If you can combine those vacation days with public holidays, then you can stretch or expand a long weekend to a complete week off or turn a few days of leave into a small vacation.
That’s where our vacation planner comes into the scene. Instead of taking random leaves, it can help you to plan your vacation based on the simple information like which public holidays fall next to the weekends, and with the simple permutation, you can maximize your vacation using less paid leaves.
For example, a single paid leave in april around easter and in may around ascension day can unlock a 4 to 5 days small vacation. In a few states, more opportunities are available with local holidays.
This vacation planner gives you a clear picture of the public holidays of 2025 & 2026, also provides you with a few suggestions to plan your vacation with indepth details like how many paid leave days will be used and how long your vacation will you get. Also, it will give separate suggestions for a few states based on their local holidays. It is very simple, practical, and saves you time to organize and plan your vacation.
