They say Brazil is the place that has the largest number of national holidays in
the world. However, very few people know how wrong this cliché is, in spite of the fact that it is a public opinion, even among the Brazilians.
The country is far from being one the countries with the fewest holidays, less than even the United States, which has 11 and way behind Belgium,
with 20.
For those executives coming from the forest parts of the world to aroid unpleasant
surprises, like arriving in Brazil and then discover that the next day is a holiday, the BrazilonBoard has listed all Brazil's national holidays.
However, don't forget that there are national, state and municipal holidays. Before taking off, check each city to see there are municipal
holidays, besides the national ones listed below.
