About public holidays in Romania

In 2026, Romania has 16 public holidays: 11 on weekdays and 5 at the weekend, leaving 250 working days (see Law 53/2003, Art. 139).

The count changes from year to year: the movable feasts — Easter and Pentecost — can fall on a weekend or land on the same date as another holiday.

Planning ahead: Once you know how the holidays fall in a given year, you can spend your leave where it buys the most.
