Public holidays in Poland 2018-2022
In the predominantly Catholic Poland there is basically the whole series of Christian holidays. As in Germany, but unlike in many other countries, Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday are public holidays here, although they fall on a Sunday.At first glance, the list of public holidays may look remarkably long. The Polish days of remembrance, the "Day of Solidarity and Freedom" and the "Day of National Education" are special in this respect: although they are national holidays, they do not count as days off.
