Scheduling impact for Sweden
Sweden has 13 public holidays. Midsummer's Eve (a Friday in late June) is one of the most celebrated days of the year. Many Swedes take the entire week around Midsummer off. The combination of Ascension Day (Thursday) with a bridge Friday is another common extended break. Plan for reduced availability from mid-June through early July.
