🇵🇱 Poland Public Holidays 2026

Poland has 14 nationwide public holidays in 2026 — 8 on a weekday and 6 at a weekend. 2 of them fall on a Friday or a Monday, so the weekend beside them runs to three days without using any leave. The full calendar is below, with the date, the weekday and the local name for every holiday, followed by a month-by-month guide to what closes.

Planning around Poland's holidays

On public holidays, banks, government offices and many businesses in Poland close, and transport may run on reduced schedules. For remote workers, holidays are a good time to explore — but a poor time to rely on local services or official appointments. Check the dates above before booking visa appointments or important meetings.
