Bridges 2027

Every bridge in 2027 with the exact days

For each group of public holidays in 2027, see how many days off you get with 1, 2, 3 or 4 leave days and exactly which days to request. 33 options, computed with the same algorithm as the planner.

How to read the table

“Leave days” are paid annual leave days (working days only). “Days off” counts the whole stretch, weekends and holidays included. An option is listed only if it gives more days off than the option with one leave day less. The request date is 60 days before the first leave day, moved back to the previous working day.

FAQ

What is a bridge (punte)?

A working day squeezed between a public holiday and a weekend. Taking it as leave joins them into one longer break.

5 days off for 1 leave day: 6 January 2027 – 10 January 2027, taking 8 January 2027.

What is the longest break with at most 4 leave days?

11 days off: 31 December 2026 – 10 January 2027, taking 31 December 2026, 4 January 2027, 5 January 2027, 8 January 2027.

When should I request leave for a bridge?

Within your scheduled leave period, art. 148(4) of the Labour Code lets you request leave at least 60 days in advance. Each option on this page shows that date, moved back to the previous working day.
