Austria in 2029 has an early Easter (1 April) that compresses the spring school term, but the public holiday calendar offers some strong late-year placements. All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Friday โ automatic three-day weekend. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) lands on a Sunday, losing its weekday benefit.
Austria's 39th anniversary of the end of the Cold War division of Europe (1989โ2029) gives Austrian National Day (26 October) added context, as Austria's permanent neutrality โ the basis of the holiday โ was a defining feature of the Cold War geopolitical landscape.
