Liechtenstein public holidays 2028

2028 at a glance

• New Year's Day falls on Saturday 1 January and is not moved, because Liechtenstein has no statutory substitute days.
• All 2028 dates are provisional – calculated from the rule, because official dates are published only through 2027.
• In 2028, public holidays fall on 12 weekdays in Liechtenstein, three more than in 2027.

Liechtenstein 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. Candlemas (2 February) and St Joseph's Day (19 March) are not in the labour law's list of days equal to Sundays; the national administration gives them off, and they are listed but not counted.

About public holidays in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein has thirteen public holidays that count here, all of them days that can fall on a weekday. They come from article 18 of the Arbeitsgesetz, the labour law of 1966, which lists the holidays that rank as Sundays for employees: New Year's Day, Epiphany (6 January), Easter Monday, Labour Day (1 May), Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, the Assumption (15 August), the Nativity of Mary (8 September), All Saints' Day, the Immaculate Conception (8 December), Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day. The same rules apply in all eleven municipalities of the principality.

Two more days are listed but not counted: Candlemas (2 February) and St Joseph's Day (19 March). They are not in the labour law's list, but the holiday calendar of the national administration includes both alongside the statutory days, and many people know them as holidays. If your employer gives them off, a year has up to two working days fewer than the figure shown. Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday also appear in the table, but they are Sundays and never change a count.

The Assumption on 15 August doubles as the National Day, the state holiday of the principality, so it is one date rather than two. Candlemas, St Joseph's Day and the Nativity of Mary are the days that most clearly set this calendar apart from those of its neighbours, Switzerland and Austria.

Liechtenstein does not move a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday. The working week stays as it is, and the weekday that follows is a normal working day. Counts on this site therefore subtract a holiday only when it lands from Monday to Friday, so a holiday that falls on a Sunday costs nothing.

A further group of days is listed but not counted. St Berchtold's Day (2 January), Shrove Tuesday, Good Friday, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are full days off for the staff of the national administration, and banks and many employers close, but the labour law does not make them holidays. The administration also gives bridge days after Ascension Day and Corpus Christi. If your employer closes on any of these days, take one working day off the total for each.
