Public Holidays in Bulgaria — 2027
There are 14 public holidays in Bulgaria in 2027 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 10 genuine days off work.
The calendar clusters: May alone holds 6 of them, while 6 month(s) have none at all.
The longest dry spell runs 105 days, from Monday, May 24, 2027 to Monday, September 6, 2027; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
7 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Bulgaria sits in Eastern Europe, is run from Sofia, pays in Bulgarian Lev, and has about 6.9M people planning around these same dates.
