Public holidays in Switzerland

The 26 cantons that make up Switzerland set their public holidays independently – with the exception of 1 August,[1] which is the only federal holiday.

[2] Furthermore, holidays can change depending on employers, and some holidays are specific to only a certain town or village.

In general, the most reliable list of holidays for a given area will be found in a list of bank shops and offices close during bank holidays.
