When are the school holidays in Hungary in 2026–27?
The dates below are copied from the official source, for public-education schools; break names are given in the original language with a translation.1
| Break | Where | Dates | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Őszi szünet (autumn break) | whole country (public-education schools; the vocational-training chapter, §18, sets the same break dates) | After the last school day, 22 October 2026, until the first school day after, 2 November 2026 | |
| Téli szünet (winter break) | whole country (public-education schools; the vocational-training chapter, §18, sets the same break dates) | After the last school day, 18 December 2026, until the first school day after, 4 January 2027 | |
| Tavaszi szünet (spring break) | whole country (public-education schools; the vocational-training chapter, §18, sets the same break dates) | After the last school day, 24 March 2027, until the first school day after, 5 April 2027 | |
| Nyári szünet (summer break) - only the last teaching day is given | public-education schools (general rule; the vocational chapter has 2027. június 15.) | After the last school day, 18 June 2027; the source gives no date for the first school day after |
- The decree gives the last school day before each break and the first school day after it, not the break dates themselves, so the table shows exactly that. It also lets schools move the start or end of a break (7. § (4)).
