Moment in the Alps with a Day Trip to Samobor, Croatia, Samobor, Croatia
People tend to think only of Croatia鈥檚聽epic coastline when planning trips to the country. Many don鈥檛 realise there are other sides to the country, include the mountain ranges of the聽Dinaric Alps聽that stretch through to the rest of the聽Balkans. When in聽Zagreb, the easiest way to experience this alpine side of Croatia is with a聽day trip to聽Samobor聽from Zagreb.
A small town on the edge of the mountains,聽Samobor shows that Croatia is far more diverse than people give it credit for. Walking around, it was almost hard to believe I was actually in Croatia, especially with the winter snow at my feet. Yes, visiting in early March right after a blizzard swept through meant I saw snow in Croatia of all places. But anyway, here鈥檚 what you have to look forward to with a聽day trip from Zagreb to Samobor, Croatia.
First of all, let鈥檚 talk about getting to Samobor from Zagreb. Certainly the easiest way is with regional bus聽155聽that leaves from platform 610 at Zagreb Bus Station. There are two to three departures an hour with the latest 2018 timetable found聽here. The ride is around 30 minutes, it鈥檚 really not far. Now, don鈥檛 make the same mistake I did and buy it at the bus station kiosks. It actually costs a little less if you buy straight from the driver so just head straight to the platform. Either way though, it鈥檚 a little more expensive than you might suspect at 28kn (~3.75鈧�) one way. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
