Polish public holidays for 2023
Many of us are anticipating events for next year and upcoming public holidays as 2023 draws near. To find out when you can expect a day off work in Poland, see our helpful list below!
Everyone in Poland who has a contract of employment (umowa o prac) is entitled to 20 or 26 days of paid annual leave each year, depending on their level of experience. However, by taking a few days off around holidays, you may more than quadruple your vacation budget with a little advance forethought. When making your holiday schedule, take a look at the table below and keep these dates in mind. Be aware that if a holiday falls on a Saturday, you are also entitled to an additional day off.
