What the numbers say
In 2026, Latvia has 16 nationwide public holidays and Lithuania has 14, so Latvia gets 2 more days off. They line up on 9 dates, including Jaungada diena, Pirmās Lieldienas, Otrās Lieldienas and Darba svētki.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Latvia has 12 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Lithuania (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Latvia offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Lithuania offers 6 and 2. Latvia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Latvia and December in Lithuania.
