What the numbers say
In 2026, Czechia has 13 nationwide public holidays and Germany has 9, so Czechia gets 4 more days off. They line up on 6 dates, including Den obnovy samostatného českého státu; Nový rok, Velký pátek, Velikonoční pondělí and Svátek práce.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Czechia has 11 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Germany (2 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); Germany offers 5 and 2. Czechia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Czechia and May in Germany.
