Step into a beautifully preserved traditional Croatian house, where you’ll be welcomed by dancers dressed in authentic Croatian folk costumes, representing different regions of the country. This hands-on workshop lets you experience Croatia’s rich cultural heritage through traditional crafts. First, create and decorate your own Licitar heart, a beloved Croatian symbol recognized by UNESCO. Then, paint a traditional Croatian wooden toy, inspired by age-old craftsmanship from the Zagorje region. Both handmade items are yours to keep as unique souvenirs. After the workshop, embark on a guided tour of the house, where you’ll delve into Croatian geography, history, cuisine, and ethnology. To complete the experience, homemade Croatian cakes and authentic Rakija (fruit brandy) will be served. Take unforgettable photos with the folklore performers in traditional attire and feel free to ask them any questions about Croatian traditions, history, or dances!
