Just a short ride from Zagreb, Samobor is a small baroque town full of charm, color, and character. Nestled at the foot of the Žumberak hills and surrounded by forests, hiking trails, and vineyards, it’s a beloved escape for locals and a hidden gem for visitors. You’ll wander through the historic center, full of artisan shops and cozy corners. Samobor is also famous for its hand-cut crystal, known throughout Croatia and beyond for its craftsmanship. We’ll visit a boutique dedicated to Samobor crystal – a sparkling piece of local tradition. (Closed on weekends.) And as any visit to Samobor demands – we’ll sit down for coffee and a slice of the iconic kremšnita. To round off the day, we highly recommend trying Samobor’s traditional dishes in one of its long-standing local restaurants. Whether it’s Samobor salami, češnofka sausage, hearty soups, or slow-cooked meat, a delicious lunch is the perfect end to your visit.
