Samobor
The most popular day trip from Croatia’s capital is Samobor, a postcard-perfect town close to the Slovenian border. The restaurants here provide visitors with traditional dishes of veal, game and trout. On Sundays, many head here from the city to sample the century-old atmosphere and sit in coffeehouses over a portion of local cream cake, the renowned samoborska kremšnita. They are joined by hikers before and after they brace ascents of the nearby wooded slopes.
