Beyond its pastel-colored buildings and medieval infrastructure, perhaps the most desirable feature of Samobor is that it's easy to visit. The city is only about 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Zagreb, so it makes a near-perfect day trip destination. You can see most of Sambor in only a few hours, including top sights surrounding Kralja Tomislava square like St. Michael's Church and the Town Museum.
Beyond the city, Sambor is also a prime jumping-off point for outdoor adventure. For a hike, you can explore the wooded trails of the surrounding wilderness. A jaunt to the Samobor Hills or Samobor Gorje Prirodni Nature Park are ideal for working up a sweat and enjoying the fresh air.
