Understanding Bulgaria Holidays

Public Holidays

Public holidays in Bulgaria are days when most workers are entitled to a day off with pay. Government offices, schools, and many businesses close on these days.

Bank Holidays

Bank holidays are days when financial institutions are closed. While similar to public holidays, not all workers may have the day off.

Observances

Observances are notable days that are not official public holidays. Businesses and schools typically remain open on these days.

Regional Holidays

Some holidays may only be observed in certain regions or states within Bulgaria. Check local regulations for specific regional holidays.

Planning Around Bulgaria Holidays in 2016

When planning travel or business activities in Bulgaria, be aware that public holidays may affect availability of services, transportation schedules, and business operations. Consider booking accommodations and transportation in advance around major holidays, as these are popular times for domestic travel and celebrations.
