Weekends and public holidays in February 2023
February is the shortest month of the year, but thanks to the Defender of the Fatherland Day, we have an additional holiday day off. Let’s find out when it is better to take a vacation in February and what other weekends and holidays will be in the last winter month

In February 2023, there will be approximately 19 working days and 9 days off. Although this is not the most popular month for holidays, experienced travelers know that the most economical vacation will come out at this time: the festive winter season is already over, and the spring is still far away. Prices are much lower everywhere, but the entertainments beloved by tourists can also be limited due to the lack of a large flow. February is an excellent month for the off-season on the warm islands, despite the fact that the rainy season begins there, they will not bring much discomfort, and the cost of rest will be much lower. 

Fans of ski holidays will also like the month. Prices at such resorts fall in February after the January hype, there will be no queues at the lifts and slopes. 

Let’s look at this month’s production calendar and find out how many working days await us, as well as when it is better to take a vacation so as not to miscalculate and have time to enjoy the rest.

When is it profitable to take a vacation in February 2023

The standard leave of an employee without special allowances is 28 calendar days. The application for leave is submitted two weeks before the expected date, and vacation pay is paid three days before departure. An important condition is that one part of the vacation must be 14 days. The remaining days can be split as desired. 

In February 2023, it is possible to add a holiday to the vacation, which will increase the rest time. 

But, as you know, it is most profitable to take a vacation in those months in which there are the most working days in order to get the maximum vacation pay.

Due to weather conditions and a short working month, February is not popular for leisure and travel, with the exception of public holidays. But if you want to save on a trip, then the absence of a large flow of tourists will allow you to receive services at a price much lower than in the season.
