Which Austrian holidays are national and which are regional?
The table above is the national calendar. Separately, this dataset tracks 9 federal states of Austria, and 3 further public holidays are observed in some of them but not nationwide in 2026. If you are planning around a specific place, add the relevant rows below to the national list.
| Regional holiday | Date in 2026 | Observed in |
|---|---|---|
| Rupert | September 24, 2026 | Land Salzburg |
| Tag der Volksabstimmung | October 10, 2026 | Kärnten |
| Martinstag | November 11, 2026 | Burgenland |
Regional coverage is only as complete as the underlying open dataset, so treat this as a strong indication rather than a legal source. Confirm with the relevant local or regional authority in Austria before you rely on a single date.
Which holidays move each year, and why?
4 of the 13 recurring holidays land on a different date each year. Here is the rule behind each group.
Same date every year (9)
The holiday is tied to one calendar date, so it lands on a different weekday each year but never changes date. In Austria this covers New Year's Day, Epiphany, Staatsfeiertag, Assumption and National Holiday, plus 4 more.
Linked to Easter (4)
The date is counted from Easter Sunday, which is the Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, so it swings between late March and late April. In Austria this covers Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday and Corpus Christi.
When is the next public holiday in Austria?

Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Austria have?
Austria has 13 national public holidays in 2026 and 13 in 2027. The total can differ from year to year because holidays that fall on a weekend sometimes gain a substitute day, and because moon-based and Easter-based dates occasionally shift in or out of a calendar year.
Which Austrian public holidays fall on the same date every year?
9 of them: New Year's Day (January 1), Epiphany (January 6), Staatsfeiertag (May 1), Assumption (August 15), National Holiday (October 26) and All Saints' Day (November 1), plus 3 more. These are pinned to a calendar date, so only the weekday changes from year to year.
Which public holidays in Austria change date each year?
4 do: Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday and Corpus Christi. The reasons are linked to easter, so the Gregorian date has to be recalculated for every year rather than copied forward.
Are there regional public holidays in Austria?
Yes. Besides the national list, 3 public holidays are observed in some federal states only, for example Rupert in Land Salzburg, Tag der Volksabstimmung in Kärnten and Martinstag in Burgenland. The year calendars on this site show national holidays only, so add the relevant regional dates on top.
What happens when a public holiday in Austria falls on a weekend?
This dataset records no substitute days for Austria, so every date listed here is the holiday itself rather than a replacement weekday. That is not the same as saying none is granted: a number of countries move a weekend holiday onto a working day under national labour law without that rule being captured in the underlying data, so check a local source whenever a holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday.
How to use this page
Public holidays shape the working year in Austria, closing many offices, banks and public services and shifting the rhythm of travel and shopping. If you are scheduling a delivery, a launch or a meeting with a Austrian team, the table at the top is the quickest check: it shows every recurring holiday side by side across 2025, 2026 and 2027, so you can see at a glance which dates are stable and which need looking up again next year. Where a holiday falls on a weekend and is taken on another day, it appears once, on the day off, with its calendar date beside it, so the totals here match the official ones rather than double counting.
For a single year with weekday counts and long weekends, open the year page for 2025, 2026 or 2027. To compare countries in one year, the 2026 worldwide overview lists every country we cover side by side. Dates come from the open date-holidays dataset and are recalculated per year from each holiday's rule. Always confirm official dates with a local authority before you commit to travel or contracts.
