What the numbers say
In 2026, Argentina has 16 nationwide public holidays and Uruguay has 15, so Argentina gets 1 more day off. They line up on 8 dates, including Año Nuevo, Carnaval, Día del Veterano y de los Caídos en la Guerra de Malvinas and Viernes Santo.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Argentina has 15 on working days (1 fall on a weekend), against 13 for Uruguay (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Argentina offers 9 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 6 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Uruguay offers 8 and 5. Argentina has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is February in Argentina and April in Uruguay.
