# Public holidays in Netherlands 2027

The Netherlands has 10 public holidays in 2027. 6 fall on a weekday and 4 on the weekend, which leaves 255 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.
