Offices
Iceland's full-day calendar includes Western Easter holidays, the first Thursday after 18 April and the first Monday in August. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are statutory partial days from 13:00, and are described here rather than counted as full-day planner closures. Banks can close for the whole of those eves.
Banks
The Central Bank lists full closures on 24 and 31 December 2026, while the statutory public holiday begins at 13:00. The full-day national planner excludes those partial days.
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.
