this is an interesting attraction but unless you are totally into Swarovski I would say, skip it. This is NOT a factory tour and the shop at the end of the tour has very high end items and difficult to find items. The tour costs 11 euros and they give you 2 euros back when you purchase anything over 15... More

Husband and I are generally not into modern art and after this I can confirm it's really not our thing. There were several beautiful displays (castle made of crystal for example) but others were downright creepy. There was even screaming in the sound effects! Shopping though was good with wide variety of price points and helpful staff. More

What a brilliant place to enjoy, fabulous displays of Swarovski Crystal in all forms, would like to have seen more of the manufacture of crystal items but this did not detract from this wonderful attraction, be prepared to spend in their massive showroom, the largest display of crystal imagineable.

We just picked this place as a random stop between Salzburg and Innsbruck, thinking it would be great to learn how they take the crystals and make them in to some beautiful pieces. Instead, we paid good money to explore a funhouse. One redeeming quality was the crystal dome. Other than that, I could've lived without stopping here when there... More

Before you go become a Swarovski Crystal Society member. You get little extra's at both this location and the location in town when you show your card. I love crystall and so while the museum itself is very eclectic I could still find the beauty in what it contained. My favorite room in the museum is where there are replicas... More

I didn't really know what to expect from this after reading the leaflet and some of the reviews on here. I guess I went in knowing that it had little to do with the actual company of swarovski and the production of their crystals so I wasn't disappointed (as some say they were) in that respect. As regards to it's... More

This was not what I expected, I thought it was the Swarovski factory, but I am glad I got to see it. It is a little "fun-housy" (a new word) in that you go from room to room fairly dark and see the artist installations. And then when you get through it, there is of course a Swarovski store. I...

I have read in one of the tourism books of Austria that Swarovski Crystal Worlds is the second most visited place in Austria and decided to go with my wife and children to visit the place. It was an interesting place and worth visiting. Different shapes made of crystal and made even more attractive with lights of different colors. The... More
