Long weekend planner
Long weekends in Brazil
2 breaks of three days or more in 2027 need no leave in Brazil. The best value is 1 day of leave for 4 days off in a row around Independence Day.

How the planner works
Each row starts from a holiday that is a day off in the Brazil holiday calendar we use, with its substitute day when it falls on a weekend. It assumes a Monday-to-Friday week. The suggested leave days join the holiday to the nearest weekend or other holiday, using at most four days of leave, and the row shows the option with the most days off for each day of leave.
Employers, schools and regional calendars can add or move days. Check your own working pattern before booking.
