Are you sure Norwegians work…? 🙂 Seriously, I do love all these holidays though. In Finland we do have similar holidays when it comes to the ski/autumn/summer breaks, but the amount of public holidays especially in May, and the loooong Easter break (which seems to be the perfect time to take a whole week and a bit off work) are quite unheard of. But no complaining from here, makes working here even better!!

In reply to tor. Hi Tor, yes it's just a week off school, but my observation is many families choose to take the week off work too.

In reply to afrodite. No not official holidays, it's a popular holiday season though as it's a week off for the schools. Most employees in Norway get at least 25 days off, plus the public holidays which vary each year.

Really? These are official holidays for all who work in Norway? Can you make a list with all the holidays?
I am a ski/snowboard lover, this week will be my favorit. I am very sad that I am missing it this year, but next year….
