What the numbers say
In 2026, Latvia has 16 nationwide public holidays and Russia has 13, so Latvia gets 3 more days off. They line up on 3 dates, including Jaungada diena, Darba svētki and Latvijas Republikas Satversmes sapulces sasaukšanas diena.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Latvia has 12 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Russia (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); Russia offers 5 and 2. Latvia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Latvia and January in Russia.
