What the numbers say
In 2026, Lithuania has 14 nationwide public holidays and Latvia has 16, so Latvia gets 2 more days off. They line up on 8 dates, including Naujieji metai, Velykos, Antroji Velykų diena and Tarptautinė darbo diena.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Lithuania has 10 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 12 for Latvia (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Lithuania offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Latvia offers 6 and 4. Latvia has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Lithuania and May in Latvia.
