Good Friday is not a public holiday in the Netherlands. Neither is Liberation Day (only banks and government are closed). Furthermore, Easter Sunday and Whit Sunday always fall on the weekend. We therefore have a maximum of 7 public holidays. In past years, Christmas and New Year's were also in the weekend, leaving 4 public holidays. In 2023 the number to calculate with is 6.
