About the school breaks in Malmö 2026
Families with children in Malmö elementary schools primarily need to track the breaks during the autumn term and around the turn of the year. During the autumn, the autumn break occurs in week 44, with time off between October 26 and October 30. This provides five days of leave during a period when the autumn semester is otherwise fully active.
At the end of the year, the Christmas break lasts from December 23, 2026, until January 10, 2027. This break covers 19 calendar days and includes the Christmas and New Year holidays across week 52 and week 1. Independent schools may have different dates for these periods, so contact the school directly if your child does not attend a municipal primary school.
About Malmö
Malmö is Sweden's third-largest city, on the Öresund strait, with the bridge to Copenhagen just a few kilometres from the centre. Many families work or have relatives on both sides of the water, so it helps to know that Danish school breaks often fall in different weeks from the Swedish ones. Ribersborg beach and Folkets park are close by for days off.
