A bridge day is a workday between a public holiday and a weekend that you take off to create a longer break.
Maximize your days off with smart holiday bridging.
Long weekends 2025 - Italy
Long weekends form when a public holiday falls near a Friday or Monday, and one or two bridge days close the gap between the holiday and the weekend. The result: two or three leave days become five, six, or even seven consecutive days off. This page identifies the best holiday plus weekend combinations in the current year for you. You see directly how many consecutive days are possible and how many leave days you need to take. That lets you quickly decide which opportunities are worth booking in the yearly planner, getting far more recovery time out of your annual leave budget than a standard holiday week delivers.
