Portugal Public Holidays 2027
Portugal has 13 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and ending with Christmas Day on 25 December 2027. Christmas Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, on 25 December 2027, and no substitute weekday is granted for it here, so it costs the calendar a day off compared with a year when it falls midweek.

When is New Year celebrated in Portugal in 2027?

Are regional holidays included for Portugal?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Portugal are listed separately on the Portugal holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Portugal holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Three of the 13 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Good Friday on 26 March 2027, Easter Sunday on 28 March 2027 and Corpus Christi on 27 May 2027.
How far ahead is the Portugal calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Portugal.
Which Portugal holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2027. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Portugal holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2027 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them.
