Public holidays in Sweden
Sweden has 13 public holidays: New Year's Day, Epiphany, Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Monday, Labour Day, Ascension Day, National Day (June 6), Midsummer Eve, Midsummer Day, All Saints' Day, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. Sweden is notable for its generous vacation law — 25 working days per year is the statutory minimum, and many collective agreements provide even more. The "semester" (vacation) culture in Sweden means most workers take extended breaks in July.
