What the numbers say
In 2026, Ukraine has 11 nationwide public holidays and Moldova has 16, so Moldova gets 5 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including Новий Рік, Міжнародний жіночий день, Великдень and День праці.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Ukraine has 7 on working days (4 fall on a weekend), against 12 for Moldova (4 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); Moldova offers 6 and 4. Moldova has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is May in Ukraine and January in Moldova.
