About

What is verified
- A statutory national public holiday on 23 July
- Part of a busy late-July travel period before Fiestas Patrias
Plan around it
- Confirm opening hours directly with each museum, ticket office and operator
- Do not assume 27 July is the same kind of holiday: it is a compensable non-working day and private-sector participation requires agreement
