International Usability testing: dates to avoid

Use this table to make sure your planned usability test doesn't conflict with holiday dates in Europe.

This table lists National holidays in certain European countries. Some countries may have additional local holidays that are not listed here. When planning your test, remember that people often take additional holidays around these dates.

If you are interested in carrying out a usability test in any of these EU countries, please contact us. Find out more about our international usability testing services.
