Days listed but not counted in the 10 above

These days appear on many calendars as public holidays, and sources genuinely disagree about them. Where they conflict, we follow the official government or statutory source and name it below, so a day is only counted in the totals on this page if the law actually gives it to you. That is why our figure can be lower than the one you see elsewhere.

Bank closing day (Banklukkedag)Not a day off
What the law says: Banklukkedag is not a statutory public holiday.
In practice: Banks close, but most Danes work. It is also the reason this site shows fewer Danish bridge days than some others — see the note on the bridge-days page.
Source followed: Danish statutory holiday legislation
Constitution Day (Grundlovsdag)Not a day off
What the law says: Grundlovsdag is not a statutory public holiday.
In practice: Many workplaces give a half or full day under collective agreement, so Danish totals vary between sources by one day.

Christmas Eve (Juleaftensdag)Not a day off
What the law says: Not a statutory public holiday in Denmark.
In practice: A day off for almost everyone by collective agreement, and treated as a holiday in practice.
