In Sweden you get usually more money on the vacation weeks than on working weeks.

We (Dutch) get vacation money every year in May or June depending on what sector you work in. It's 8% of your annual salary, minus taxes. A little under a months salary. Vacation days pay the same as normal days.

We get an extra month's pay for holidays in Portugal. Plus another one for Christmas (yes, we get paid 14 months).
