How to use bridge days in Romania
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 Romania 2027, there are 6 bridge day opportunities highlighted in the table above. The biggest gain is around Epiphany & Saint John the Baptist: take Monday and Tuesday off to turn a 2-day break into 6 consecutive days using only 2 days of annual leave.
