Main description

Just a short distance from Prague, the Nižbor glassworks continues one of Bohemia’s most emblematic traditions: the art of crystal.

Founded in the 19th century and now represented by the Rückl brand, it embodies a distinctive craftsmanship combining traditional techniques with contemporary production.

This excursion has been designed as a short and well-structured half-day, ideal for discovering a local craft without time constraints.

You take part in a guided visit of the production workshop, where you observe the different stages of crystal making—from hot glass shaping to engraving and finishing. The visit is led by a local English-speaking guide, offering a clear and engaging insight into the manufacturing process.

Your accompanying guide remains with you on site, providing additional context before and after the visit while respecting the conditions of the production environment.

At the end of the visit, you have the opportunity to explore the factory shop and purchase pieces directly from the local production.

Everything is arranged so you can remain fully present. A private car with driver picks you up directly at your hotel, where your guide will already be waiting for you. From the very first moment, you are looked after, with no logistical concerns to manage.

It is precisely this combination – guidance, flexibility and seamless organisation – that gives the experience its full value.

A short, focused excursion, particularly appreciated by travellers wishing to discover authentic craftsmanship in a well-paced format.
