How the working week works in Portugal

Working week: Monday to Friday
Weekend: Saturday and Sunday

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.
