Holiday breaks

Gothenburg school breaks: family trips from Gothenburg

Gothenburg's term times cover municipal preschool class, compulsory and adapted compulsory schools only; upper secondary and many independent schools set their own. The sports break is 15–19 February 2027 and Easter 26 March – 2 April. 7 May is a school day off, separate from the 6 May public holiday. Autumn term ends on 18 December and restarts on 11 January, so 19 December – 10 January is a derived window; spring ends on 10 June and autumn starts on 16 August, giving a derived summer of 11 June – 15 August.

What to weigh

  • 6–7 May fall on Thursday and Friday, which with the weekend make four days.
  • Upper-secondary siblings may follow a different calendar.
  • The shortlist is ranked on modelled cost only; it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
  • The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
