What is a Long Weekend in Singapore?

A long weekend in Singapore refers to a period of three or more consecutive days off from work or school, typically including a public holiday. This creates an extended break, allowing people to travel, relax, or spend time with family and friends.

How do long weekends occur?

Long weekends in Singapore usually happen when a public holiday falls on a Friday or Monday, automatically extending the weekend by a day. Sometimes, a public holiday might fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, and the government may declare a “bridge holiday” on the Monday or Friday to create a longer break.

Why are long weekends popular?

Long weekends are highly anticipated because they offer an opportunity to recharge without using up too many vacation days. They’re perfect for short getaways, exploring local attractions, or simply enjoying some downtime at home.
