What the numbers say
In 2026, Venezuela has 12 nationwide public holidays and Guyana has 11, so Venezuela gets 1 more day off. They line up on 3 dates, including Día de Año Nuevo, Día del Trabajador and Navidad.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Venezuela has 10 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 9 for Guyana (2 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Venezuela offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 4 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Guyana offers 6 and 3. Venezuela has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is December in Venezuela and May in Guyana.
