What the numbers say
In 2026, Moldova has 16 nationwide public holidays and Romania has 17, so Romania gets 1 more day off. They line up on 5 dates, including New Year's Day, Craciun pe stil Vechi (Orthodox Christmas), Orthodox Easter and Labour Day (Moldova).
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Moldova has 12 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 12 for Romania (5 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Moldova offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Romania offers 8 and 3. Moldova has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Moldova and January in Romania.
