 | Public Holidays in Bulgaria |
Public holidays in Bulgaria are regulated by the Bulgarian Labour Code.
- Public holidays that take place on a weekend are not carried over to the
following Monday
- Since 2007 Bulgaria has official "bridge holidays". When a
public holiday takes place on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, the Monday,
Tuesday or Friday is sometimes taken as an official holiday to make a long
weekend; working Saturdays are imposed to make up
for the extra day's holiday. These public holidays also apply to schools.
