What the numbers say
In 2026, Romania has 17 nationwide public holidays and Ukraine has 11, so Romania gets 6 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including Anul Nou, Paștele, Ziua Muncii and Rusaliile.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Romania has 12 on working days (5 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Ukraine (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Romania offers 8 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Ukraine offers 4 and 2. Romania has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Romania and May in Ukraine.
