Here's a list of annual public holidays in Croatia. Croatia, as a Catholic country, celebrates a number of religious holidays throughout the year, whilst others are either historically celebrated public holidays, or those to do with the recent war. (Such as 25th June, which is when Croatia declared itself an independent country in 1991, though this is actually celebrated as "Croatian National Day".)

During public holidays, the majority of shops, businesses, restaurants, cafes, banks and so on are closed. Most people would be off work and children would not go to school. However, you may find some smaller shops (e.g. for groceries) open. Places along the coast are more likely to be open to cater for holidaymaker
