From Wikipedia[1], minimum annual days leave are:
UK: 28
Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden: 25
Iceland, Malta: 24
Portugal, Spain: 22
The EU mandates a minimum of 20 days, so all other EU member states have 20.
Of course, these are just the mandated minimums. Many employers will give more to be competitive.

8 of those in the UK are Bank Holidays. I'm not sure about others countries because I'm from the UK, but I think other countries get more "real" holiday days than the UK.
Most companies I've worked for offer a little more than the minimum, for example I get 23 days excluding bank holidays and that generally increases by a day per year you've worked at the company or something like that.

> A quick google search and I can't find many places in Europe that offer 25 days, not including the national holidays.
The legal minimum in Europe is 20 days' vacation plus national holidays. Competitive employers offer more.

6 weeks holiday in UK, Germany and Sweden is fairly normal. I don't know about the other countries.
If I include national holidays I get 22 days off. No set sick days unless you're out for more than 5 consecutive days.
I'm not sure why you'd move to SV, startup life's seems like hell.
