The Portuguese Civics Calendar — July–December 2026
A printable guide to Portugal's national holidays and civic dates — free to download, print, and share.
Whether you're preparing for the TNIC citizenship exam, settling into Portuguese residency, or simply curious about the rhythms of Portuguese civic life, the second half of 2026 is full of dates worth knowing — from Republic Day on 5 October to the Restoration of Independence on 1 December.
So, we made you a calendar.
It marks every national public holiday from July through December, plus São Martinho (the chestnut-roasting Magusto tradition) as a cultural anchor — the kind of lived custom that tells you as much about Portugal as any statute does. Each date is something most people in Portugal would recognize, which is exactly why they’re worth learning.
Print it, pin it to the fridge, or keep it on your desk. The two QR codes link back to the full archive and to this post, so it’s easy to come back for more.
A note on sourcing: this is a study companion, not the official exam, and every date is one you can verify against Portugal’s Diário da República. We’d rather show our work than ask you to take our word for it.
