What is a bridge day?
A bridge day (Brückentag) is a working day between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking this one day off, you connect the holiday to the weekend and get several consecutive days off using minimal annual leave.

Denmark has no single statutory list: the days off are the Folkekirke’s holy days plus 1 January. This is the Act that abolished Store Bededag from 2024, the most recent change to that set.
