Public Holidays in Norway — 2028
There are 12 public holidays in Norway in 2028 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
3 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 9 genuine days off work.
The calendar clusters: April alone holds 4 of them, while 7 month(s) have none at all.
The longest dry spell runs 203 days, from Monday, June 5, 2028 to Monday, December 25, 2028; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
5 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Norway sits in Northern Europe, is run from Oslo, pays in Norwegian Krone, and has about 5.4M people planning around these same dates.
