In Austria the next statutory holiday does not depend on the province: all 13 holidays under section 7 of the Rest Periods Act apply everywhere. Only the patron saint's day differs, and it closes schools but is not a statutory holiday; you can switch it on in the calculator. Counting from 28 October 2026, the next holiday is All Saints' Day on 1 November 2026, a Sunday, followed by Immaculate Conception on 8 December 2026. The countdown above runs on your device clock and counts to midnight Austrian time on the holiday, Central European Time in winter and summer time in summer. If you are abroad you see the same time remaining, converted to your own time zone. When a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday the list says so: Austria does not move it. For leave planning the holidays on a Tuesday or Thursday matter most, because the day in between becomes a bridge day. The page is recomputed each time it is published; the countdown itself always uses today's date in your browser.

From the next holiday to a long weekend
If the next holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, look at the day in between: one leave day on the Monday or Friday gives four days off. The bridge-day planner finds these days for the whole year, and bridge days 2026 shows what is left before New Year.
