Austria's 2029 public holiday calendar opens with Easter on 1 April — a date that coincides with April Fools' Day but is fully observed as a solemn religious holiday. Easter Monday (2 April) is followed by Labour Day (1 May) on a Wednesday, offering limited long weekend potential.
The strongest placements in 2029 come in autumn: All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Friday, automatically creating a three-day weekend for all Austrian workers. Austrian National Day (26 October) lands on a Saturday — unfortunately absorbed into the weekend with no compensatory day.
Ascension Day (10 May, Thursday) offers the standard spring bridge day opportunity on Friday 11 May. Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Wednesday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) on a Thursday in 2029 — taking Friday 27 December as leave creates a nine-day festive break from Saturday 21 December through Sunday 29 December.
