Metković, Border town in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia
Metković stands on the banks of the Neretva River at the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, surrounded by mandarin plantations and fertile agricultural land.
The settlement evolved from a small farming town first documented in 1422 to a significant trading point during the nineteenth century under Austrian Habsburg administration.
The Narona Archaeological Museum in the nearby village of Vid exhibits an extensive collection of Roman artifacts discovered from an ancient submerged settlement.
The town offers boat excursions through the Neretva Delta, combining water activities with local shellfish tasting and agricultural observation opportunities.
The Museum of Natural History contains one of Europe's most extensive ornithological collections, featuring 218 bird species native to the Neretva region.
