Days off in 2012. See the list of legal holidays this year

When in Rome, act like the Romans. More precisely, in this case, when in Romania, you can celebrate like Romanians the legal holidays that are stipulated in the Labor Code.

Besides the days written below, the list of legal holidays could include other two days, Saint Andrew (November 30) and The Day of Independence (May 10), as a bill on this issue was passed last year by the Senate but is still pending approval from the Chamber of Deputies.

In total there are 11 legal holidays (including the first and second days of January), but some of these fall during the week-end.
