What the numbers say
In 2026, Singapore has 11 nationwide public holidays and Hong Kong has 17, so Hong Kong gets 6 more days off. They line up on 6 dates, including New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Good Friday and Labour Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Singapore has 10 on working days (1 fall on a weekend), against 14 for Hong Kong (3 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Singapore offers 6 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Hong Kong offers 7 and 5. Hong Kong has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is February in Singapore and April in Hong Kong.
