Portugal 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. Each municipality also has a municipal holiday, and Carnival Tuesday is a day off for many; neither is counted here.
Week by week
December 2026 has 31 days: 8 Saturdays and Sundays, 3 holidays on a weekday and 20 working days. The table splits them by calendar week, Monday to Sunday, cut at the start and end of the month.
