What the numbers say
In 2026, Italy has 13 nationwide public holidays and Austria has 15, so Austria gets 2 more days off. They line up on 10 dates, including Capodanno, Epifania, Pasqua and Lunedì dell'Angelo.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Italy has 7 on working days (6 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Austria (5 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Italy offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Austria offers 5 and 5. Austria has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in Italy and May in Austria.
