What the numbers say
In 2026, Guyana has 11 nationwide public holidays and Suriname has 19, so Suriname gets 8 more days off. They line up on 6 dates, including New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and Labour Day.

For short breaks, Guyana offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Suriname offers 5 and 5. Suriname has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Guyana and January in Suriname.
