What the numbers say
In 2026, Costa Rica has 11 nationwide public holidays and Honduras has 11 — exactly the same number. They line up on 6 dates, including Año Nuevo, Jueves Santo, Viernes Santo and Día Internacional del Trabajo.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Costa Rica has 7 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Honduras (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Costa Rica offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Honduras offers 4 and 4. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is April in Costa Rica and April in Honduras.
