What the numbers say
In 2026, Estonia has 12 nationwide public holidays and Finland has 15, so Finland gets 3 more days off. They line up on 8 dates, including uusaasta, suur reede, ülestõusmispühade 1. püha and kevadpüha.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Estonia has 9 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Finland (6 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Estonia offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 5 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Finland offers 5 and 4. Estonia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Estonia and December in Finland.
