About local holidays
Austria has thirteen legal public holidays — among the most generous in Europe. National Day (Oct 26) marks the 1955 Declaration of Neutrality. December 8 (Immaculate Conception) is one of the few days when shops may legally open on a religious Sunday/holiday — a 1995 Catholic-union compromise. Easter, Ascension, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, Assumption, All Saints', Christmas and St Stephen's Day (Dec 26) anchor the religious side. Vienna's Heuriger taverns and Christmas markets punctuate the year.
