Planning around Austria holidays in 2026

  • Several holidays in May and December fall close together, potentially impacting business operations.
  • Note that some holidays, such as Labour Day and National Day, are also designated as National Holidays.
  • The calendar includes a significant number of religious observances, particularly in spring and late autumn.
  • Be aware of the concentration of holidays in May, which may affect scheduling.

Holiday patterns in 2026

The holiday calendar in Austria shows a distinct concentration in the spring, particularly in May, which hosts a cluster of religious observances and national holidays. This period is followed by a more dispersed distribution of holidays through the summer and autumn months.

The year concludes with a notable grouping of holidays in December, including Christmas and St. Stephen's Day, alongside the Immaculate Conception in early December. January also features two early-year observances, while February, March, July, September, and parts of April and June remain free of public holidays.
