About this calendar
In 2027, Switzerland observes 29 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Restoration 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.
Switzerland has exactly one nationwide holiday set at the federal level: 1 August, the national day. Everything else is decided canton by canton, so Zurich, Geneva, and Ticino each run noticeably different calendars. Weekend holidays are generally not replaced.
