Metković offers visitors a host of interesting cultural, natural, gastronomic and tourist facilities of exceptional value, both in the town and in the wider area. Natural beauties of the Lake Kuti are a challenge to tourists

While enjoying the landscape of the region, tourists can sample the delights of many specialities including fish and frogs, as well as the fruit and vegetables which grow here in abundance. Cruising in an ancient Neretva boat through the meandering rivulets and channels of the Neretva valley, one can enjoy the clear waters of the Norin, a tributary to the Neretva, and can pass by floating islets with many fauna and flora.

Stories will be told of sunken towns, of ancient heroes and famous travellers who wrote down their fascination with the region, thereby recording their impressions of the Neretva valley for eternity.

These ancient towns and their walls which the water reveals from time to time are picked out in the remains of Roman villae rusticae scattered all along the way.

They are also proof that the swamp was a fertile soil which nourished the ancient Narona and which exported its products to other regions of the Empire. The Neretva boat, a solid, large-ribbed vessel of sound proportions is the most beautiful way of appreciating the many facets of the swamp and which can provide you with local refreshments, along with entertainment by the “Neretva pirates” armed with accordions, guitars and mandolins.

The voyage can start from the pier at Vid, on the Norin, both upstream and downstream, but also from other places in the surroundings of Metkovic. Navigating the waters of the Kuti Lake in the south-western part of the valley is a special experience.

For those who wish to taste local food in a calmer and more intimate ambience, a se- ries of excellent restaurants is recommended: “Đuđa i Mate”, at Vid, the restaurant “Vrilo” at Prud, restaurants “Adria” and “Lanterna” in Metkovic, "Villa Neretva" in Krvavac II. and many others.

All of them provide a wide choice of dishes, from traditional European cuisine to unusual specialities created by fusing the culinary traditions of both East and West.

One of the best- known gastronomic specialities, famous all over Europe, is the local “Neretva brujet” in which the main ingredients are eel and frog. Sometimes, one finds flounder in this famous dish and it is known that it only inhabits the cleanest waters.

The preparation of “brujet” is apparently simple but this is just an illusion because every Neretva kitchen, every restaurant and every house has its own method and secret of how its brodetto differs from others and it is quite difficult to say which is best.

The eel can be baked on a stick and it is good to eat dry as well. Neretva cuisine also has dishes and specialities prepared from wading birds, especially coots.

The proximity of the sea ensures that fresh marine fish are caught by local fishermen in the Neretva channel. Neretva cuisine also comprises casserole dishes (“sačura”).
