What the numbers say
In 2026, Moldova has 16 nationwide public holidays and Ukraine has 11, so Moldova gets 5 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including New Year's Day, International Women's Day, 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 7 for Ukraine (4 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); Ukraine offers 4 and 2. Moldova has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Moldova and May in Ukraine.
