Bridge days in Denmark 2027
23 vacation days → 50 days off.
🇩🇰 Every public holiday in Denmark 2027, every bridge day worth taking, and exactly what each one buys you — computed, not guessed.
Denmark lost Store Bededag in 2024, which makes the remaining bridges more valuable, not less. In 2027, 23 vacation days on the right gaps return 50 days off, with the best play at ×4.
Like Norway, Denmark clusters everything around Easter and the Ascension/Whitsun block. The autumn is bare — which is exactly why the Christmas chain is worth planning in spring, before colleagues book the same days.
Assumption: Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and Constitution Day (June 5) are treated as days off — common in Danish agreements, though not universal.

Denmark-specific fine print
Store Bededag is gone
The Great Prayer Day was abolished as a public holiday from 2024. If a guide or old calendar still lists it in late April/May — it is wrong, and this one is not.
Grundlovsdag is a half-truth
Constitution Day (June 5) is not a statutory public holiday, but many collective agreements give the full or half day off. We count it as an eve — check your contract.
