When to take time off in Poland in 2025?
To save your own vacation days, we encourage you to take time off during the statutory public holidays. For example:
- New Year’s Day and Epiphany – If we take two days off (i.e. January 2nd and 3rd), we will have a total of 6 days off.
- May Day – May 1st-4th (Thursday-Sunday). If we plan vacation for Friday, May 2nd, we will enjoy four days off.
- Corpus Christi – June 19th-22nd (Thursday-Sunday). One day off on June 20th will give us four days off.
- Polish Armed Forces Day, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 15th (Friday). If you can afford more time off, taking four days of vacation will give us 9 days of relaxation, i.e., from August 9th to 17th.
- Independence Day – November 8th-11th (Saturday-Tuesday). Taking vacation on November 10th will give us four days off.
- Christmas Holidays – December 20th-28th (Saturday-Sunday). If we take vacation on December 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, we can have a total of 9 days off!
