Luxembourg public holidays 2026: the full list and what's open or closed
Luxembourg has 11 legal public holidays a year. In 2026 they run from New Year's Day (1 January) to St Stephen's Day (26 December), with movable feasts on Easter Monday (6 April), Ascension Day (14 May) and Whit Monday (25 May). On these days most shops, banks and public offices close, transport runs a reduced Sunday timetable, and bakeries and on-duty pharmacies stay open. When a holiday lands on a weekend, employees get a compensatory day within three months.
