This page collects the four-day-or-longer combinations from the calendars of 57 countries (Nager.Date, open data) and separates the ones that are automatic from those that need a bridge day — a leave day you take yourself.

The rules that create these long runs: substitute days (a Sunday holiday moves to Monday — the UK, Australia, South Africa, the United States), adjacent holidays (two days off in the same week, for example Good Friday + Easter Monday) and single midweek holidays, which only become four days if you add a bridge day. Countries with moving religious holidays (Islamic and lunisolar) offer a different combination every year, so check the destination's calendar before you book tickets.
