Public holidays 2024 in the Netherlands
#What are the public holidays in the Netherlands?
We count on them to boost our vacation days, we always hope they fall on a Monday or Friday, and they let us rest for an extra day — I call them: public holidays!
Since they're slowly approaching, to make your life easier, Michel, we've gathered the public holidays that fall this year.
