Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a public holiday and a bank holiday?
A public holiday is a day off set by law. In the UK and Ireland the official days off are called bank holidays; the meaning is the same.
What is a long weekend or bridge day?
A long weekend is three or more days off in a row. When a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, taking the Monday or Friday off as a “bridge day” turns it into a four-day break.
Are regional holidays included?
Yes. Holidays that apply only in some states, provinces or nations are listed with the regions where they apply.
