School holidays in Denmark 2025-2026 – important information!
Denmark is divided into 90 municipalities. As of 2025, their populations range from 1,719 to 667,000. Each municipality sets its own school year schedule. In some municipalities, the 2025-2026 school year calendars overlap.
In this publication, we provide school holidays in Denmark for 2025-2026 for 20 municipalities with populations over 70,000. The school year schedules for the following municipalities are published below: Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, Vejle, Esbjerg, Frederiksberg, Randers, Silkeborg, Vyborg, Horsens, Kolding, Roskilde, Herning, Næstved, Slagelse, Gentofte, Sonderborg, Holbæk, and Gladsaxe.
If you can’t find the municipality you’re interested in, it’s best to look for information in the original source. To do this, enter “Skoleåret 2025 2026” or “Skoleferie 2025 2026” into a Google search, followed by the name of the municipality you’re interested in in Danish. For example: “Skoleåret 2025 2026 Aalborg”
IMPORTANT! The start and end dates of school holidays vary from country to country. For example, school holidays in France officially begin on the last day of school and end on the first day of school. In the Kingdom of Denmark, school holidays begin on the day following the last day of school and end on the day before the first day of school.
