Singapore Long Weekends Cheatsheet 2017
PSSST!!! Take just 6 days of leave to enjoy 10 long weekends (extra 3 weekends) and 36 smashing days of vacation!
2017 is blessed with 3 midweek breaks: May 10 (Vesak Day), August 9 (National Day) and October 18 (Deepavali). If you’re a true-blue travel junkie, like us, you can always just take 2 days leave to lock in that 5-day long weekend for that holiday that you’ll badly need by the time it’s May, August or October.
Otherwise, these lovely Wednesdays are at your disposal, be it a one-day getaway from the city or a self-pampering chill session at home.
The seven official long weekends in Singapore next year are as follows:
- New Year: (2016) December 31 to January 2 (Saturday to Monday)
- Chinese New Year: January 28 to 30 (Saturday to Monday)
- Good Friday: April 14 to 16 (Friday to Sunday)
