How to use bridge days in Liechtenstein
A bridge day (sometimes called a sandwiched day) is a working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking it as paid annual leave, you connect the holiday to the weekend and create a longer uninterrupted break.
For example, if a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday — four consecutive days using only one day of leave.
In Liechtenstein 2026, there are 14 bridge day opportunities highlighted in the table above. The biggest gain is around New Year's Day & St. Berchtold's Day: take Wednesday off to turn a 4-day break into 5 consecutive days using only 1 day of annual leave.
