'Bridge days': How to maximise your public holidays like a German this May
Briefly

May is an advantageous month for public holidays in Germany, particularly in Berlin, where workers can leverage national festivities and bridge days. With 20-30 annual leave days in addition to nine nationwide holidays, savvy employees strategically plan vacations to align with holidays like International Workers' Day on May 1 and Ascension Day on May 29. Bridge days around these holidays present opportunities for extended time off, fostering a culture of smart vacation planning among German workers.
In Germany, if a public holiday falls on a weekday, workers benefit from an extra day off, unlike in the UK where holidays on weekends are 'lost'.
Clever German workers maximize their time off by strategically scheduling bridge days around public holidays, effectively extending their vacations.
