# Public holidays in Netherlands 2025

The Netherlands has 11 public holidays in 2025. 8 fall on a weekday and 3 on the weekend, which leaves 253 working days out of 365. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.

Note: The officially recognised public holidays include Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday, which fall on the weekend by definition. Good Friday is a day off mainly in the public sector, and Liberation Day (5 May) is a paid day off only every five years for most collective agreements, so it is not listed.
