Holiday breaks
Salzburg semester break: family trips from Salzburg
Austria's education ministry lists the 2026/27 holidays by state. In Salzburg the semester break is 15–20 February 2027, two weeks after Vienna's. Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and the long summer break are also listed. The dates cover public middle and higher schools and private schools with public status; compulsory schools usually match, but individual or school-type exceptions are possible.
