            The year 2026 promises to be favorable: 7 out of the 10 official public holidays fall near weekends, and many are extended with additional rest days, meaning a significant number of long weekends can be expected throughout the year. However, it\u2019s important to keep the shifted workdays in mind when planning ahead.<\/p>\n
