Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-27
Turkey’s law provides full-day national holidays and half-days from 13:00 on the two religious eves and 28 October. This national full-day calendar omits those partial days from planner calculations and explains them in the guide; no discretionary administrative extension is inferred.
Government offices close for the applicable statutory period. Essential services may use holiday staffing, and private workplaces apply Turkish labour law and collective arrangements.
Bank branches generally close on full public-holiday days. Digital services remain available, but scheduled transfers and branch transactions may wait until the next banking day.
Schools close when the holiday falls within the academic calendar; official ceremonies may be held before civic holidays.
The holiday marks the opening of the civil calendar year. Urban celebrations commonly begin on New Year's Eve, while the legal holiday itself is 1 January.

People celebrate with family meals, entertainment and countdown events, especially in major cities and tourism centres.
New Year nightlife and events can affect city-centre traffic, while intercity services follow the published 1 January timetable.
