This evening enjoying beer in a wine drinkers area, close to Koblenz.
 
Do most of our European forum members have the amazing 6-8 weeks of paid vacation each year? I remember on a bike tour down the West coast of the US a few years (decades) back, I met several German riders who mentioned they had something like 8 or 9 weeks of paid vacation time each year. I recall being very jealous. I imagine not all the countries there are so generous with paid time off?

Usually it is 4 weeks, sometimes 5 depending on the company and the position.

6 to 8 weeks is usually reserved for teachers :D

In Spain we have 4 weeks per year as a standard, then profesions like school teachers has one or two weeks more. And I guess really tough jobs like minery have more holidays than "normal" jobs.
 
A wee dram or two o' this:
