Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-27
Denmark’s current public calendar has ten holidays. Constitution Day, 1 May, 24 December and 31 December are not nationwide public holidays, and Great Prayer Day ceased to be one from 2024.
Public offices are ordinarily closed on 2. påskedag; Denmark's Foreign Ministry specifically included Monday 6 April in its 2026 Easter closure. Essential services continue, and private-sector entitlement depends on workplace terms.
Easter Monday appears on Danmarks Nationalbank's bank-holiday list. Transfers and transactions needing a banking day can therefore be deferred until Tuesday.
Schools remain within their Easter break on this Monday. Parents should confirm the first teaching day after Easter with the relevant school or municipality.
The day continues the Christian celebration of the resurrection after Easter Sunday. Danish church usage calls it the second day of Easter, a name that makes its relationship to Sunday explicit.
Because it always falls on Monday, the observance extends Easter into a multi-day break. This pattern has practical consequences for public administration, banking deadlines and return travel.
Some people attend church, while many use the final Easter day for family meals, outings or the journey home from a holiday stay. Customs are generally less solemn than on Good Friday.
Return traffic can be busiest late in the holiday. Rail, ferry and domestic-flight capacity may tighten, making advance booking useful for travel back to Copenhagen and other cities.
It is 6 April 2026, 29 March 2027 and 17 April 2028.
The Danish name means the second day of Easter.
It is a listed bank holiday, so banking-day processing normally resumes afterward.
