Offices

The Bank of Albania publishes the dated 2026 schedule and warns that Eid dates may change. Future shared Easter dates and lunar holidays need the annual official notice.

Banks

The Bank of Albania schedule supplies the dated 2026 bank closures, including weekend observances. Its Eid dates carry a lunar-calendar caveat.

Schools

This is a public-holiday calendar, not a school-term calendar. School breaks and local closures require the education authority's schedule.

Practical planning

Use the dated calendar and long-weekend planner to identify busy periods, then check local transport and visitor opening hours.
