Frequently Asked Questions
How many public holidays does Norway have in 2026?
In 2026, Norway has 12 public holidays (These are the twelve public holidays (offentlige høytidsdager), uniform nationwide. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are not on the list: most Norwegians finish at midday and many collective agreements treat them as days off, but neither is a statutory holiday. Norway is unusual in Europe in keeping Maundy Thursday as a full holiday, which is why Norwegian Easter runs as a five-day break).
