Start on the square

The heart of Samobor is its main square, Trg kralja Tomislava, with cafés and pastel houses all around. Start with a coffee and a slice of kremšnita, the cream cake the town is known for.

Cafés and restaurants

Walk up to the old castle

Above the town, the ruins of Samobor’s old castle, Stari grad, stand in the woods. Go in the late afternoon, when the light gets soft.

More about the castle

Follow the Gradna

The Gradna stream runs right through the town. A promenade follows the water, past small bridges and gardens.

See a museum or a gallery

Three places for a rainy hour, all listed in the directory. Opening hours change, so please call ahead.

Head into the hills

The Samobor hills start at the edge of town: beech woods, mountain huts and long views.

Outdoors in the Samobor hills

Taste something to take home

Bermet, an aromatic aperitif wine, and muštarda, Samobor’s mustard, are the classic souvenirs.
