The best local dishes in Sweden

The best local dishes in Sweden are undeniably as much social events as they are good snacks. The summer’s crayfish slice offers wonderful flavors, but it is the community and the joy of the often not-so-messy experience itself, that makes it an appreciated tradition. Likewise, the pull of the cinnamon bun is not necessarily the soft and warm sweetness that fills the mouth, but the cozy conversation when two people have coffee together (the Swedish fika).

There are a couple of day trips from Zagreb, among: Samobor, Karvolac, Krapina, Varazdin and Plitvice Lakes.
