World-Calendar.com and TimeAndDate.com
I once was stuck in Poland on Nov. 1, All Saints Day, unaware that the Polish take the holiday so seriously: The country shuts down. I wish I had known about World-Calendar.com and TimeAndDate.com.
What's hot: World-Calendar lists holidays for about 70 countries in English, French, German, Japanese and two forms of Chinese, simplified and traditional. TimeAndDate has more: calendars, yes, but even better, it has the time all over the world, and it can help you calculate the best times to call so you won't wake someone out of a sound sleep.
What's not: World-Calendar has more details about the holidays but not as many countries as TimeAndDate. But between the two, your travel calendar should be well planned.
