FAQ
Common Questions
Why check public holidays before travelling?+
Banks, offices, shops and attractions close. Transport gets crowded and expensive. Knowing in advance lets you plan around closures or join local celebrations.
Public holiday vs bank holiday — what's the difference?+
Bank holidays specifically close banks; public holidays are general days off. In the UK the terms are used interchangeably. Both typically close most businesses.
Which country has the most public holidays?+
Cambodia leads with ~28 per year. Others: Sri Lanka 25+, India 17–25, Philippines 20, South Korea 17. USA has only 11 federal holidays.
Are holidays the same across an entire country?+
Not always. Federal countries like the USA, Australia, India and Germany have national holidays plus additional state or regional ones.
Are 2026 dates confirmed?+
Most are set by law and don't change. Islamic holidays (Eid, Ramadan) shift annually based on the lunar calendar. We update these as announcements are made.
