About Portugal Public Holidays
Portugal observes 13 mandatory national public holidays under the Portuguese Labour Code. Fixed holidays include New Year's Day, Liberty Day, Portugal Day and Christmas. The movable holidays in 2027 are Good Friday on 26 March, Easter Sunday on 28 March and Corpus Christi on 27 May. Easter Monday may be observed locally or by an employer but is not a nationwide mandatory holiday.
Portuguese public holidays carry significant cultural and historical weight. Liberty Day (Dia da Liberdade) on April 25 marks the 1974 military coup that ended 48 years of authoritarian rule and restored democracy — one of the most important dates in modern Portuguese history. Republic Day (October 5) celebrates the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910, while Restoration of Independence Day (December 1) honours the 1640 uprising that ended 60 years of Iberian Union under Spain. Together with the major Catholic feast days — Corpus Christi, the Assumption of Mary, All Saints' Day, and the Immaculate Conception — these holidays reflect Portugal's dual identity as a historically Catholic nation and a modern democratic republic.
