Samobor

Samobor stretches between the eastern slopes of Samobor hills and Žumberak Mountains, with streets leading to King Tomislav Square at its center.

The town received status as a free royal settlement in 1242, marking the beginning of its growth as a prominent trade center in Croatia.

The February Carnival, known as Fasnik, fills the streets with parades, traditional costumes, and folk performances celebrating regional heritage.

Regular bus services connect Samobor to Zagreb throughout the day, with the journey taking approximately one hour through direct routes.

The town maintains a centuries-old crystal cutting tradition, producing glass pieces that gain recognition across European markets.
