Frequently Asked Questions

Is this holiday database accurate?

Yes, we use advanced AI cross-referenced with official government sources to ensure high accuracy for current and future years.

Do you show school holidays?

We currently focus on official public and bank holidays that affect business hours and government services.

Can I download the calendar?

Yes, you can download ICS files for any country to import directly into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

How often is the data updated?

We update our database regularly to reflect official government announcements. However, we do not track real-time changes (like last-minute weather closures) or unofficial local observances.

How does the Vacation Maximizer work?

The tool analyzes the calendar to find 'bridges'—single working days that sit between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking these specific days off, you can extend a standard weekend into a 4-day or longer break.

Can I book flights or hotels?

No, World Holidays is a planning tool only. We help you find the best dates to travel, but you will need to use your preferred travel booking site to secure flights and accommodation.

What if I can't find my region?

We cover over 195 countries. If a specific region or state holiday is missing, it may be because we focus on national public holidays that affect the majority of the workforce.
