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.

Finland sets its holidays across several acts rather than one list — Independence Day by Act 388/1937, the church feasts by the Church Act. Midsummer Eve and Christmas Eve are widely free but are not statutory holidays, which is why we do not count them.
