History
A pretty small town 25 km west of Zagreb, famous for cream-and-custard kremšnita cakes eaten in the cafés on the main square, its wildly popular pre-Lent carnival, and the ruined castle Stari Grad on the wooded hill above.
“Samobor's carnival, held every February, has run every year since 1826 — the oldest continuous carnival in this part of Europe.”
