What the numbers say
In 2026, Czechia has 13 nationwide public holidays and Austria has 15, so Austria gets 2 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including Den obnovy samostatného českého státu; Nový rok, Velikonoční pondělí, Svátek práce and 1. svátek vánoční.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Czechia has 11 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Austria (5 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Czechia offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Austria offers 5 and 5. Austria has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Czechia and May in Austria.
