What the numbers say
In 2026, Brazil has 12 nationwide public holidays and Paraguay has 12 — exactly the same number. They line up on 4 dates, including Confraternização Universal, Sexta-feira Santa, Dia do Trabalhador and Natal.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Brazil has 10 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Paraguay (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Brazil offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Paraguay offers 5 and 5. Paraguay has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Brazil and May in Paraguay.
