Samobor is always at the top of our list for a day trip when my family and friends come to visit us in Zagreb. Samobor is a quaint, charming town with the absolute best dessert in Croatia, and it’s the perfect day trip from Zagreb, since it’s less than an hour’s drive!
We usually do a little stroll on the main square and through the charming streets, we have kremsnita and coffee at “U Prolazu” and we soak up the calming atmosphere of this beautiful town.
1. King Tomislav Square (The Main Square)
Like in almost every other Croatian city, the main square in Samobor is where all the action happens. It’s where locals meet for coffee, it’s where festivals happen, it’s where you go to feel the city’s vibe.
King Tomislav Square is full of cafe bars, and it’s home to the most famous dessert shop, U Prolazu, which is where people go to have a piece of the well known “Kremsnita.”
In the middle of the square, you’ll find an old, beautiful fountain that’s connected to a legend. The legend says that anyone who drinks from the fountain is sure to return to Samobor! The water is fresh and delicious, and Ivan never passes up the opportunity to drink from these fountains!
2. Kremšnita - U Prolazu
I know that some people prefer to eat this popular dessert in Croatia at Kavana Livadic, but for us, it’s absolutely, unquestionably the best at a place called “U Prolazu,” which is located on the main square
This dessert is like a light, fluffy, whipped custard, topped off with a light flaky pastry on top. It’s usually served warm, which makes it that much more delicious! I’ve really never had better Kremsnita anywhere else in Croatia.
3.Old Town Samobor (The Castle)
On Tepec Hill, there is a ruin of a fortress that was once the original town of Samobor. Today it is a protected cultural asset and one of the main tourist destinations you can visit in this city.
This fort was built by the Czech king Otokar in the 13th century, and it had a very different floor plan with three parts. There was a central core, a defense tower and a small little chapel. There were other towers as well, of course, and the courtyard brought it all together.
The castle had been owned by many noble Croatian families throughout history, but sold to the city of Samobor in 1902 to become a place for tourists to see.
It’s really a magical spot. It’s so stunning with all of the old stone, and greenery now growing up the walls, in and around the stone. There’s such a beautiful contrast with the green and gray. What’s also interesting, is that much of the floor plan is still visible, and you can see where different rooms would have been.
One Interesting point about the fortress is that the famous actor Jackie Chan filmed the movie “Armour of God” there, and actually almost died while filming.
4. Livadić Castle and the Museum of the City of Samobor
Livadić Castle is another protected cultural heritage of Samobor. This building is L-shaped, and it’s surrounded by beautiful park grounds. It was built later in the 18th century, and it’s been very well preserved.
It was named after the musician / lawyer / judge, Ferdo Livadic. After him, the castle was owned by many other people, and became the home of the Samobor City Museum in 1948.
It’s also home to a model of the old castle of Samobor. The museum isn’t huge, but you’ll surely learn many interesting tidbits about the city, its surroundings, and the people of Samobor.
5. Samobor Carnival
Every February in Samobor, there is a big festival called “Samoborski Fasnik.” It’s become a very famous carnival, and has almost become a trademark of the city. Everyone dresses up, there is music and dancing on the square, they have costume contests, parades in the street, and everyone participates (from all ages!). People come from all around Croatia to join the festival and it’s always a big hit!
One of my favorite parts of Samoborski Fasnik is the doughnuts. There are so many different kinds of doughnuts, you won’t be able to try them all. There are also little doughnut holes that can be covered in chocolate, icing sugar, or eat just plain as they are.
All in all, Samobor is a fantastic place to visit, and makes the perfect day trip from Zagreb! My favorite thing to do is sit for coffee and kremsnita on the square, then take a walk through the city and feel its charm.
It’s a very relaxed place to be and will surely give you the same feeling. If you’re up for a bit of a hike, don’t miss the fortress on the hill, it’s such a stunning piece of history, with incredible views, you won’t be sorry you made the trip!

The town of Samobor, Croatia, is 780 years old! Samobor provides a glimpse into the past through its baroque architecture and delicious traditional Croatian cuisine. The town is bike and pet friendly so offers travelers the possibility to stay at one of various campgrounds and bike a few kilometers to the center of town.

The open air market, sweet kremsnite cream desert, and wild boar stew were our favorites. It is no wonder people from Zagreb enjoy their weekends in Samobor!

ZAGREB, CROATIA - Best Spots to See in the City!

Today we're in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia! We love this city and can't wait to show you around.
The first stop is the main square, Trg Bana Josipa Jelacica, named after ban Josip Jelacic, who was a Croatian army general in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century. He really fought for Croatian independence in the Empire, and he's an important figure in Croatian history.
Just to the east of the statue is Mandusevac, a legendary fountain that is said to be the reason that Zagreb its name. Apparently there was a tired soldier on the way back from battle, and asked a girl named Manda to scoop him (zagrabiti) some water from the spring, where the fountain now stands. So Zagreb came from zagrabiti.
Next we visited Dolac Market in Zagreb. It's the biggest and most popular open market in the city and it's great for buying anything from fruits and vegetables, to fish, nuts, dairy products and more. It was first opened in 1930.
At the top of the stairs, sits Kumica Barica which is the statue of the lady, representing all of the vendors that have sold at the market all these years.
Tkalciceva was our next stop. It's my favorite street in all of Zagreb. It's lined on both sides with many different cafes. It has a great vibe, lots of energy and is typically filled with people hanging out with friends, sipping coffee.
We walked through the Stone Gate to get to the upper town. The Kamenita Vrata was built in 1266 and is a holy place of worship for many residents of Zagreb. There was a devastating fire that happened in 1731, and everything burned, except for a painting of the Virgin Mary, so it's seen as a sort of miracle, and people come to light a candle and say a prayer.
St. Mark's Square is in the upper town, and has St. Mark's Church right in the middle. The church is most famous for it's colorful tiles on the roof. There are two coat of arms on the roof, one representing the city of Zagreb, and the other representing the Kingdom of Zagreb, Slavonia and Dalmatia. Here on the square, there are also the parliament and government buildings.
The Museum of Broken Relationships can also be found in the upper town. It's a very interesting museum filled with little mementos of relationships that have broken in some way. Each memento has a story, and you can read about each one.
The Lotrscak Tower is just steps away from the museum. It typically fires a cannon every day at noon, and residents used to set their watches according to the cannon each day. There is also a great view point from the top of the tower, looking all out over the city.
Next, we took the funicular down to the lower town. It's the shortest one in the world, at just 66m long. A quick, but convenient (and fun) ride if you're in Zagreb.
Ilica Street is the next place we visited. It's line with shops and is one of the most popular streets in Zagreb. The trams also run along the street, and it's a great place to wander through the city.
The Drazen Petrovic Museum and Memorial Center was another place we visited. Drazen was one of Croatia's best basketball players, and played in the NBA. He really opened the door for other European players. Unfortunately, his career and life were cut short, when he tragically died in a car accident at just 28 years old. He's one of Croatia's most favorite sports legends, and many children look up to him as their role model.
King Tomislav Square was the last top on our tour of Zagreb. King Tomislav was the first Croatian King, so his statue sits on the square, just in front of the main train station. Behind the statue is Tomislavac, the beautiful park where you can picnic and relax in some greenery right in the center of town.
We hope you enjoyed the video and you visit Zagreb one day soon!

Samobor, Croatia. A walk in the city center. 4K
Samobor is a city in Zagreb county, Croatia. We started our walk on the wooden bridge over the Gradna river and moved past the museum, then through the historical center and along the river bank.
On our previous road trip to Croatia, we came across Samobor quite by chance, and since we liked the city very much, we decided to come back. It's a good place to spend a peaceful evening. Which does not mean that nothing happens in the city or that there are no people around.
The receptionist of the hotel told us a story about a strange friendship of a cat and a weasel. Every day at dusk they meet secretly in the parking lot of the hotel. And yes, the cat was there! But we were too tired to wait for the weasel. So we probably have to come back one day.
There is also a really nice bench at the top of a hill next the church. It's a perfect place to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city from distance.

Day Trip From Zagreb to Charming and Medieval Samobor from Zagreb
Cute Samobor is only 20k/12m West of Zagreb and an easy day trip by bus. However, we use a private service to wait while we schmooze around for a few hours (more than that is not necessary). Samobor has existed since 1242 and known for historic buildings as well as kremšnita, a custard cake. Not why we visit but what the heck...as good as a reason as any other :)

Tkalciceva Street. 1 of the Top 10 Tourist Sites - Zagreb Croatia - ECTV
Eric Clark's Travel Videos - Zagreb Croatia - Tkalciceva street - 1 of the Top 10 Tourist Sites
From Wikipedia
Tkalčićeva Street at night
Tkalčićeva Street (Croatian: Tkalčićeva ulica, formally: Ivan Tkalčić Street, Ulica Ivana Tkalčića) is a street in the Zagreb, Croatia city center.[1] Extending from the vicinity of the central Ban Jelačić Square to its northern end at the Little Street (Croatian: Mala ulica), the street flows between the Gornji Grad in the west and Nova Ves in the east. The street is officially within the Gornji Grad - Medveščak city district, constituting the former August Cesarec commune (abolished in 1994). According to the 2001 Croatian census, the street has 1,591 inhabitants.[2]
Centuries before the today's street emerged, the route of Tkalčićeva Street was covered by the Medveščak creek.[3] Medveščak (at that time also called Crikvenik or Cirkvenik) had been the center of Zagreb industry since the early days of the city, spawning numerous watermills. The watermills caused the development of Zagreb industry, leading in turn to the construction of Zagreb's first cloth, soap, paper and liquor factories and, later, animal skin industry.[3] The watermills were often the subject of feuds between the twin cities, Kaptol and Gradec.[4] A 1392 peace treaty forbade construction of new watermills along the shared city border, between today's southern end of Medvedgradska Street and Ban Jelačić Square, leaving only two mills within the city. Both mills were owned by a Cistercian monastery.[4] However, they were both razed during the 1898 covering of the creek.[5]
Street pianist in the Tkalčićeva street.
Although both sides of the creek had been inhabited before, the 1898 covering left a full-scale street, which was aptly named Ulica Potok (English: Creek street).[6] Most of the houses were dated to 18th or 19th century and the street was surfaced with gravel from Sava River excavated in Trnje.[3] Around the middle of the 20th century it was modernized and paved with asphalt. The creek-based industry was quickly transformed into small businesses and stores[3] and the skin industry stopped working in 1938.[citation needed]
According to several records, the transformation of Medveščak creek valley was orchestrated in 1900 by Milan Lenucci, an architect. In 1908, Viktor Kovačić displayed some of his ideas about Ulica Potok in his studies of Gornji Grad, Kaptol and other city neighborhoods. In 1913, Ulica Potok's name is changed to Tkalčićeva Street in honor of the 19th century Zagreb historian Ivan Tkalčić, who was from nearby Nova Ves.[6]
At the turn of the 20th century, prostitution was legal. In Zagreb it was advertised as a tourist attraction and contributed to the city's economy. Tkalčićeva Street was the main centre for brothels. At one stage every other building was a bordello.[7] To open a brothel, the owner had to register at the town hall and received a licence. The licence required the brothel to be well run and provide a quality service. The women working in the brothels had to have a twice weekly medical examination. Brothels were not allowed to advertise their presence, but a discrete, uncommonly coloured lantern was allowed to be placed outside.[8]
The best known brothel, and most expensive, was the Kod Zelene Lampe (Green Lantern’s). The street's brothels continued to operate until WW2.

ABOUT US
Hi, we’re Chris and Mandy, travel bloggers and creators from Australia. Since December 2015, we have been travelling and exploring the world full-time. We usually spend 1-2 months in each place we travel to and love really getting to know a place. One of our favourite ways to get to know a destination is through food, and we share all of our food guides here on Youtube and on our travel blogs. We love to pack light, travelling the past 3 years with carry-on only. On AlmostLanding.com, we share in-depth guides to help you plan the best trip, we often have free printable guides you can download or print out, we’ve created our own travel maps pinpointing our favourite picks for different places so you can easily find everything and make travel planning easy. We have another travel blog all on Bali, AlmostLanding-Bali.com, we’ve spent so much time in Bali and share everything we know and love about this beautiful island. We’ve fallen in love with travel and blogging, and we wanted to create a space for other travel lovers and life dreamers. Thanks for being a part of Almost Landing, and make sure to say hi :)
