A calendar of all Polish public holidays and long weekends. We will suggest which days to take off to get the most free time, and you can build your own plan in the calendar.
We combine leave with holidays and weekends so that the days you set aside for "bridges" give you as much free time as possible. Every suggested day of leave gives at least two days off.

In 2027 Poland has 14 statutory public holidays. Eight of them fall on working days: 1 January (Friday), 6 January (Wednesday), 29 March (Easter Monday), 3 May (Monday), 27 May (Corpus Christi, Thursday), 1 November (Monday), 11 November (Thursday) and 24 December (Christmas Eve, Friday). Two fall on a Saturday (1 May and 25 December) and four on a Sunday.
Yes. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the employer must give employees another day off in the same settlement period. In 2027 this applies to 1 May and 25 December. There is no extra day off for a holiday on a Sunday.
Without taking leave: 1–3 January, Easter 27–29 March, the May holiday 1–3 May, 30 October – 1 November and Christmas 24–26 December. With one day of leave: 27–30 May (leave on 28 May) and 11–14 November (leave on 12 November). With two days of leave: 1–6 January (leave on 4 and 5 January).
A full-time employee gets 20 days of leave a year with less than 10 years of service and 26 days after 10 years. Education counts towards service, e.g. a university degree counts as 8 years and a general secondary school as 4. B2B and civil-law contracts carry no statutory leave.
Yes, since 2025 24 December has been a statutory public holiday. In 2027 Christmas Eve falls on a Friday, so together with the weekend it gives three days off in a row.
