yumyum Says: In lovley weather this pastry shop has lots of table under sun umbrellas out on the main square. This is "the" place to come and indulge yourself in the world famous "Kremsnita" which apparently was invented in Samobor. Don't be surprised if your Kremsnita is still a bit...
Samoborska pivnica: Local specialities
yumyum Says: When we went there the outside area was full so we decided to sit inside in the longish cellarlike room. The menue is in Croatian and funny enough in French. We were there on a Saturday afternoon and the place is also popular for family outings. I ate "Popecci na...
KISSofJUDAS Says: There is a lot of locals concentrated in the historical center across the main square where it's possible to taste the famous cake of Samobor and drink. Exist also an Irish pub style.It's a calm place for nightlife, just for to relax.
"Oleander": Refreshing atmosphere
croisbeauty Says: Cafe Oleander is situated next to the city park and the small brook and that makes the refreshing atmosphere, especially in the evening hours when the gentle breeze starts. Do not miss it when in Samobor.
yumyum Says: We were lucky to be driven to Samobor by VTer danijelita in her car. The drive to find the center of Samobor turned out to be quite adventurous. Also keep in mind when parking that all the parking space near the center cost something which you often have to pay by mobile...
Gili_S Says: This train was just across the street from my accommodation. However, do not queue for tickets, I don't think this old train can take you anywhere.*Photo #2 is in the winter sent me by local VT member.

There excist very long craftsmen tradition in Samobor, eversince the medieval times of the town. During the past times a number of handcrafts disappeared for good but still, a trace of it can be seen during the local fairs or carnival festivities.
What to buy: More or less, nowadays jewelry is industrial made, however, here in this goldsmith shop you can still order handmade ornaments which makes your jewerly unique.
What to pay: The prices are allways negotiable, it depend on your skill how much you'll pay.

Gili_S Says: Samobor is famous for the local Kremsnita. There is one particular coffeehouse that is famous for its Kremsnita's and believe it or now, people travelling hundreds of km's just for the Kremsnita here ;-)
ivanab Says: Kremsnita is one of the things, Samobor is well known for…There’s no trip to Samobor and not eating one of these…It is a cake that has a very long tradition and as the years pass by, it tastes only better…You can try them on the central Samobor square, in a restaurant...

Do not try fishing in the town' s brook, it is not allowed. However, there are other beautiful fishing resorts on outskirt of the town and its surroundings.
Still, fishing is not allowed freely, you have to apply for a fishing permit by the local authorities.

After to much beers or local white-wine, mixed with mineral water (we call it gemisht), you may ask yourself a question: which one of these is the right one?
Unique Suggestions: Samobor and the nearby hills are surrounded by outstanding beautiful nature. In the parts around the town you will find mountains, hills, small rivers, waterfalls and caves. Make sure to follow the well marked paths only coz otherwise you might have problem to find the way back.
Fun Alternatives: There is no need for dilema, several little bridges exist here and each one is the right way to across this little brook.

In case that the tourist office is closed then you find a map hanging on the pavement of the main square on the church side by the river see photo no. 2.

yumyum Says: As I told you in the previous tip to take the roadlike path to Sv. Ana. The reason is that you will then come past this monument which commemorates the first congress of the Croation communist party in this spot on 1st August 1937. It can be disputed whether that was any...
yumyum Says: In order to see this church you will have to walk uphill behind the museum. It's a pleasant walk through some forest. After the last houses there is a steep path or alternatively a more road like one. Take the more road like natural path. The church was padlocked when we...
