What the numbers say
In 2026, Ukraine has 11 nationwide public holidays and Hungary has 13, so Hungary gets 2 more days off. They line up on 3 dates, including Новий Рік, День праці and Різдво Христове.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Ukraine has 7 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 8 for Hungary (5 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Ukraine offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Hungary offers 6 and 2. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Ukraine and April in Hungary.
