The year begins well. New Year's Day falls on Friday, 1 January, giving a three-day weekend without using any leave.
Easter is the first real chance to extend time off. Easter Monday is on 29 March, so booking four days of leave from Tuesday to Friday gives a nine-day break, linking the weekends before and after.
May is particularly good. Ascension Day is on Thursday, 6 May, and taking Friday, 7 May off gives a four-day weekend. Pentecost Monday follows on 17 May, for another long weekend.
Luxembourg's National Day takes a bit more planning, as it falls on Wednesday, 23 June. Taking Monday and Tuesday before, or Thursday and Friday after, creates a five-day break for two days of leave.
All Saints' Day falls on Monday, 1 November, giving a simple three-day weekend
Other holidays are less favourable. Labour Day (Saturday, 1 May), Europe Day (Sunday, 9 May) and Assumption (Sunday, 15 August) all fall on weekends. So do Christmas (Saturday, 25 December) and St Stephen's Day (Sunday, 26 December).
Even so, planning early around Easter, Ascension Day and National Day can still secure several long breaks in 2027.
