List of 2018 statutory public holidays in Sweden

Sweden has more public holidays, with the same number of holidays in May and June as most Americans enjoy in a year. In addition, under government law, Swedish companies must give employees at least 25 days of annual leave in addition to public holidays, although many companies actually grant longer annual leave. They also allow employees to take four consecutive weeks of vacations from July to August to go to summer homes or vacations in the sunny south.

Roughly calculated, the average Swede gets 33 days of paid leave per year. Moreover, in May, June and July, weekends and public holidays can almost form a long holiday, with occasional working days in between. In addition, a half-day leave will be given the day before the holiday in order to allow everyone to enter the holiday status earlier. If they are lucky, the company can also give them a "klamdag", an extra day off between holidays and weekends.
