About Samobor
Samobor is a small, charming town west of Zagreb, with a pretty main square and a stream running through the centre. It is a favourite weekend outing for people from the capital, and the pleasure lies in slowing down. The cafés are famous for kremšnita, a tall vanilla custard cream cake, so make that the first order of the day. Then stroll the streets and riverside before heading back. Buses run regularly from Zagreb, making it an easy half-day trip.
