Next year, some holidays will once again fall during the week. So it’s worth taking a few extra days off (if your colleagues agree). With clever planning, you can secure 56 days off throughout the year, as the travel platform Urlaubsguru has calculated.
It all starts in spring: Easter Monday falls on April 21, and May 1 on a Thursday. If you take eight days off, you can stay home from Saturday, April 19, to May 4, i.e., 16 days.
The next opportunity to extend your vacation is in June: if you want to go away from June 7 to 22, you only need eight days off to relax for 16 days, thanks to the Pentecost holidays (June 8 and 9) and Corpus Christi (June 19).
Thanks to Assumption Day (15 August), you only need four vacation days and get up to nine days off.
Avoid vacations in October
On the other hand, it is not worth taking a vacation in October: the national holiday and All Saints’ Day in 2025 fall on a weekend. October 26 is a Sunday and November 1 is a Saturday.
The situation looks better in December: With four vacation days in the week of the Immaculate Conception (8.12.), you get nine days off.
8 vacation days, 18 days off over Christmas
Things get even better at Christmas, with December 25 and January 1 falling on a Thursday and the Three Wise Men on January 6 falling on a Tuesday. With just eight vacation days, you can enjoy 18 days off over Christmas, i.e., from 20 December to 7 January 2025.
Travel recommendations for 2025
Where should you travel next year? Urlaubsguru recommends a long-distance trip to Japan in spring, for example. Spring is the best time to experience the Japanese cherry blossom season. Alternatively, Vietnam and Thailand are worth a trip in the first few months of the year.
If you just want to lie on the beach, you could consider the Maldives. January, February, and March are the best months here.
If you prefer a shorter arrival and departure time for your Easter vacation and like to be active, the travel platform recommends a break in your country. Outdoor fans can enjoy water and winter sports, hiking, cycling and golf in the federal states.
Prefer sun, beach, and sea? Rhodes or a vacation on the Croatian Adriatic is ideal for families. For singles and couples, Crete and the small “Mamma Mia” island of Skiathos with its 60 or so beaches are ideal.
If you want to combine culture with a beach vacation, you could fly to the Canary Islands: Romantic little towns, beautiful beaches and cultural highlights await visitors on Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and co. There is also an island to suit every taste. In addition to exciting volcanic landscapes for unforgettable hikes, there are beautiful beaches and impressive dune landscapes to marvel at.
Travel recommendations for the winter
Many people want to escape the stressful pre-Christmas period, the Christmas holidays, and the cold season. A trip to Hurghada in Egypt or Zanzibar (Tanzania), for example, is worthwhile: These places are for anyone who enjoys swimming, diving, snorkeling, and relaxing.
