Yes, if the weather does not put you off. February in Zadar is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 28 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 12 °C by day, with rain on about 7 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Poland, the Czechia and Germany. Cruise ships call on 1 of the 28 days. Early February is the month's quietest stretch in Zadar — the typical day at 22%, against 31% in late February. The crush is at the Sea Organ steps at sunset; the quiet is at the Forum's edges. The calmest day is Sunday 7 February, the busiest Wednesday 10 February.
In short, quiet and wide open, if the weather doesn't put you off.
