The 2024 calendar is favorable for travel : by making the most of the opportunities for holidays and long weekends, with just 5 days of holidays it is possible to carve out almost a month of holidays , even if 3 public holidays - Epiphany, 2 June and 8 December - fall precisely during the weekend.

2024 starts immediately with a long weekend , given that New Year's Eve falls on Monday , perfect for spending the beginning of the year in some art city or in the mountains, perhaps skiing at night and celebrating in the warmth of a cabin. The second holiday of the year, Epiphany, is a Saturday, therefore only useful for a weekend to say goodbye to the long Christmas holidays.

For Carnival, from 3 to 13 February, Shrove Tuesday, there are no public holidays but traditionally it is the period in which ski weeks or mini-holidays are organized in the cities of art or in the places that organize the most beautiful carnival parades.

Easter and Easter Monday fall, respectively, on Sunday 31 March and Monday 1 April , with the possibility of taking a three-day holiday in the mountains, in the cities of art or among the small villages to enjoy the first days of warmth or an excursion out of town on Easter Monday. To get to the first real bridge it is necessary to wait for Liberation Day: April 25th is a Thursday, which is why, with just one day off, it is possible to have a four-day holiday. The temperatures allow you to go to the seaside or organize a holiday abroad or take a mini-cruise. Labor Day, May 1st, falls on a Wednesday and in this case there are two options: taking holidays the previous two days, Monday 29th and Tuesday 30th April, or the following days, Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd May. In both cases, with two days of vacation you can get 5 consecutive days of vacation or, by taking 4, you can organize a 10-day vacation.

June 2nd, Republic Day, is a Sunday, so to plan a real holiday you have to wait until summer : August 15th falls on a Thursday, giving those who work the chance to organize a four-day summer getaway, taking just one day off . Here too you are spoiled for choice even if in summer it is the seaside resorts that attract travellers.

The next holiday is All Saints' Day: in 2024, November 1st is a Friday which, for those who don't work at the weekend, translates into a long weekend without the need to take holidays. Unfortunately, December 8th, the day of the Immaculate Conception, falls on a Sunday, therefore not very useful for those who want to take a pre-Christmas trip.

But Christmas 2024 presents the last holiday of the year with intriguing options: December 25 and 26 are, respectively, a Wednesday and a Thursday. So with one day off, Friday 27 December, you can organize a 5-day holiday or, taking Monday and Tuesday, you can be on holiday from the 21st to the 26th. Or again, with 3 days off, the holiday is much longer, from the 21st to the 28th. New Year's Day is a Wednesday, so in this case too there are 2 options: with just 2 days of holiday you get 5 days of holiday and with 3 you can think of a holiday from December 25th to January 1st.
