What the numbers say
In 2026, Croatia has 14 nationwide public holidays and Italy has 13, so Croatia gets 1 more day off. They line up on 9 dates, including Nova Godina, Bogojavljenje, Sveta tri kralja, Uskrs i uskrsni ponedjeljak and Međunarodni praznik rada.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Croatia has 9 on working days (5 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Italy (6 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Croatia offers 4 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 3 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Italy offers 3 and 4. Italy has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Croatia and April in Italy.
