What is a bridge day?
A bridge day is a single working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend, turning a short break into a 4 or 5-day stretch. Known as Brückentag in German, ponte in Italian, pont in French, and puente in Spanish, the concept is the same worldwide: taking one strategic day of leave multiplies your time off far beyond what the same day used independently would give you.

With just 0 days of annual leave spread across the right dates in 2025, you can extend TO's public holidays into 0 additional long breaks.
