About this calendar
In 2026, Portugal observes 16 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with St. Stephen's Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Portugal works a 40-hour, Monday-to-Friday week. Holidays falling on a weekend are not moved or compensated, and each municipality adds one local holiday of its own, so Lisbon stops for St Anthony in June while Porto stops for St John.
