The 2027 calendar in Poland
Poland has 14 public holidays in 2027, taken from the official government list. 6 fall on a weekend.
Leave rules differ by employer and contract in Poland, so the planner shows every budget from one to ten days. Among the 16 countries we cover outside our main markets, Poland ranks number 5 for full days off this year.
Public holidays 2027 in Poland and what each one gives you
Here is each day off in date order, what it marks, and the quickest way to turn it into a longer break.
- Friday, 1 January: Nowy Rok. New Year's Day follows the fireworks at midnight and is a quiet day of rest across the country. That makes 3 days off in a row without using any leave, 1 to 3 January.
- Wednesday, 6 January: Święto Trzech Króli. Epiphany, Three Kings' Day, brings colourful processions through Polish towns and closes the Christmas season. Take Monday, 4 January and Tuesday, 5 January off and you have 6 days in a row, 1 to 6 January.
- Sunday, 28 March: Wielkanoc. Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection with church services, family meals and, in many places, egg hunts. Most shops close for the day. It falls on a Sunday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.
- Monday, 29 March: Drugi Dzień Wielkanocy. Easter Monday closes the long Easter weekend with family outings and, in Italy, Pasquetta picnics in the countryside. That makes 3 days off in a row without using any leave, 27 to 29 March.
- Saturday, 1 May: Święto Pracy. Labour Day on 1 May honours workers with marches and gatherings, and it is often a first spring long weekend for short trips. It falls on a Saturday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.
- Monday, 3 May: Święto Konstytucji 3 Maja. Constitution Day on 3 May marks the 1791 constitution. With 1 May it forms the majówka, Poland's favourite spring long weekend. That makes 3 days off in a row without using any leave, 1 to 3 May.
- Sunday, 16 May: Zielone Świątki. Pentecost Sunday marks the coming of the Holy Spirit, fifty days after Easter. It opens a spring long weekend with church services and outings. It falls on a Sunday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.
- Thursday, 27 May: Boże Ciało. Corpus Christi always falls on a Thursday, with processions through flower strewn streets. Many people bridge the Friday for a four day weekend. Take Friday, 28 May off and you have 4 days in a row, 27 to 30 May.
- Sunday, 15 August: Wniebowzięcie Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Assumption Day on 15 August falls at the height of summer, when many families are on holiday and beaches are at their busiest. It falls on a Sunday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.
- Monday, 1 November: Wszystkich Świętych. All Saints' Day is a day to remember the dead, with candles and flowers on family graves. It often creates an autumn long weekend. That makes 3 days off in a row without using any leave, 30 October to 1 November.
- Thursday, 11 November: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości. Independence Day on 11 November marks the rebirth of Poland in 1918, with ceremonies, marches and flags across the country. Take Friday, 12 November off and you have 4 days in a row, 11 to 14 November.
- Friday, 24 December: Wigilia Bożego Narodzenia. Christmas Eve is the heart of Polish Christmas, with the Wigilia supper of twelve dishes once the first star appears. It is a public holiday from 2025. That makes 3 days off in a row without using any leave, 24 to 26 December.
- Saturday, 25 December: Boże Narodzenie. Christmas Day is a day for family meals and church, with nearly everything closed. Leave in the week after it gives a long winter break. It falls on a Saturday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.
- Sunday, 26 December: Drugi Dzień Bożego Narodzenia. The second day of Christmas, St Stephen's Day, is another day off for family visits, winter walks and leftovers, before the quiet week until New Year. It falls on a Sunday, and Poland's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.

Getaways for your 2027 breaks
Poles spend the majówka in the Tatra Mountains around Zakopane, the Masurian lakes in summer, and Kraków or Gdańsk for a city break in any season. The Baltic beaches fill in summer.

2026 and 2028 are planned as well, each with its own dates and breaks.
Holiday dates move every year: fixed-date days change their weekday, and Easter moves between late March and late April, which is why the best breaks are never the same twice.
Where these dates come from
Every date on this page comes from the official source for Poland, read directly and compared day by day with an independent second source. A year appears once its official list is published, and we never fill a gap with another country's dates.
The planner treats weekends and full public holidays as free days and works out where your days of leave turn into the longest time off. Days kept in part of Poland or as observances are shown but never counted. Last checked on 1 October 2026.
