What the numbers say

In 2026, New Zealand has 11 nationwide public holidays and Singapore has 11 — exactly the same number. They line up on 4 dates, including New Year's Day, Good Friday, King's Birthday and Christmas Day.

What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: New Zealand has 11 on working days (0 fall on a weekend), against 10 for Singapore (1 on a weekend).

For short breaks, New Zealand offers 10 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 1 possible bridge day (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Singapore offers 6 and 2. Singapore has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is April in New Zealand and February in Singapore.
