What the numbers say
In 2026, Czechia has 13 nationwide public holidays and Slovakia has 11, so Czechia gets 2 more days off. They line up on 8 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 Slovakia (4 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); Slovakia offers 4 and 3. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is December in Czechia and December in Slovakia.
