A visit to the ethno village there is like stepping back in time as you stroll the small houses of the beautiful “Old Village.” Continue on to the delightful little town of Samobor, well-known as a foodie favorite. After a short tour, enjoy lunch in a local restaurant which ends with the famous Samoborske-Kremsnite, a Croatian delicacy of cake with custard cream.

Located within medieval walls, admire the prominent stone houses and scenic charm as you tour this historic city with a local guide. Visit the 13th-century Cathedral of St. Lawrence and admire the sweeping views from its bell tower. Enjoy free time to discover the city’s hidden nooks and crannies. Perhaps you’ll sit along the seaside promenade and admire boats slowly meandering by, or consider enjoying a bite to eat in a local café or restaurant.
