Metlika Gems

Metlika Gems is a guided experience that takes visitors into the very heart of Metlika’s history. Through stories shared by a local guide, stops at key historical points and insights into both tangible and intangible heritage, participants discover the true “gems” of the old town centre. The highlight of the experience is a cultural event – a concert, performance or local festival.

The program is designed for visitors who want more than just sightseeing — they seek an authentic experience, connection with the local community and active participation.
