‘Bridging days’ 2025

Less is more – a little annual leave for a lot of free time!

Smart holiday planning
9 national public holidays
Up to 16 days off at a time

2025 will once again offer plenty of opportunities for long weekends or short breaks if we make skilful use of public holidays and ‘bridging days’ – the days between a public holiday and a weekend. A total of nine national public holidays, plus additional ones that apply in individual federal states, mean you can plan some relaxing breaks. What could be better than an exciting city break? 


Whether cultural discoveries, culinary experiences or simply the unique flair of a new city – thanks to 2025’s public holidays and bridging days, you can enjoy urban life to the fullest. We’ll tell you how to get the most out of your free days and give you tips on how to keep the annual leave you take to a minimum while maximising the time you spend on your travels.
