Samobor lies on the eastern slopes of Samobor hills, at the beginning of the romantic valley of the Gradna stream, only twenty kilometers away from the center of the Croatia's capital.
This medieval town, full of Baroque architecture, is surrounded by a wide mountain range - from the Old Burg Okić, Plešivica mountain, Oštrc peak, Veliki Dol, Lipovac and Japetić to the Žumberak mountain. Therefore, it is no wonder why Samobor and its surrounding are the oldest and the most attractive excursion spot for the inhabitants of Zagreb, hikers, holiday makers and tourists from all over Croatia and abroad.
Poets, painters, sculptors and composers were frequently falling in love with this town. They wrote about Samobor, showed it in their paintings and evoked it in their poems. They were creating art in Samobor!
People came, went and returned again because nobody managed to discover this town in its entirety at once. Samobor is equally attractive in summer and winter, in spring or autumn. The winter whiteness of Samobor hills invites hikers, sledgers and skiers. In summer they all come for the mountain and valley streams, valley lakes lure fishers, swimming pools call for swimmers and fragrant hay heaps invite vacationers and trekkers. In spring the Samobor surroundings is rich with flowers and fruit tree blossom, roses fill up the gardens of Samobor. And in autumn this area produces a bounty of grapes, so the pickers' song is heard over the hills and around the tables full of select domestic dishes, as well as fragrant and palatable Samobor wines. And that's not all!
Samobor Fašnik - the Carnival of Samobor, the Sausage Feast and the Spring Fair, the Old-timer Rally, the feasts and market stalls beside the chapel of St. Anne, greblica - the Rude salty strudel, the Martinmas and Chestnut Fests, Samobor Music Autumn, concerts and exhibitions, Samobor kremšnita and pork chops - kotlovina, mustard and bermet ... invite you to join us and enjoy life! Because Samobor is made to man's measure.
Welcome!
