2027 at a glance

  • Labour Day falls on Saturday 1 May and is not moved; Victory Day falls on Saturday 8 May and is not moved; Christmas Day falls on Saturday 25 December and is not moved; Second Day of Christmas falls on Sunday 26 December and is not moved, because Czechia has no statutory substitute days.
  • In 2027, public holidays fall on 9 weekdays in Czechia, two fewer than in 2026.

Czechia has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts.

About public holidays in Czechia

Czechia, also known in English as the Czech Republic, observes thirteen public holidays. They are set out in Act No. 245/2000 Coll. on public holidays, other holidays, important days and days of rest, which sorts them into two groups with the same practical effect: both are days of rest on which employees are normally not required to work.

The first group, called state holidays, has seven dates. They are 1 January (the Restoration Day of the independent Czech State), 8 May (Victory Day), 5 July (the Day of Saints Cyril and Methodius), 6 July (the Day of Jan Hus), 28 September (Czech Statehood Day), 28 October (the Day of the Independent Czechoslovak State) and 17 November (the Day of the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy). The second group, called other holidays, repeats 1 January as New Year's Day and adds six dates of its own: Good Friday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Christmas Eve and the two Christmas days of 25 and 26 December. Since the two 1 January entries are the same calendar day, the total of thirteen is a count of dates, not of titles. Good Friday is a late arrival, having become a day of rest in 2016.

Only Good Friday and Easter Monday move, following Easter. In 2026 they fall on 3 and 6 April.

The act contains no rule that transfers a holiday falling on a weekend, and Czech practice does not invent one. In 2026 two of the thirteen days land on a weekend, 5 July on a Sunday and 26 December on a Saturday, and they are lost as days off. No Monday is added in lieu. The other eleven, including 24 December on a Thursday, reduce the working days of the year.

Easter Sunday is not on the list, since it is always a Sunday, and neither is Whit Sunday. Memorial days that the act does not designate as days of rest are not counted. Shop closing days are set by a different law and do not alter these totals.
