Why locals recommend it
This glass factory where you can watch the artisans hand blowing glass is about a 30-minute drive from the city centre. It’s a really artistic, colourful place, where they’ve used pretty shards of glass in the brickwork and pathways. There’s also a shop where they sell the slightly wonky pieces for cheap! There’s a nice cafe here too, so you can have a cup of coffee in between glass blowing sessions. It’s also close to Rolf’s Place, a hotel that has a big rope bridge to take you across the river.

It’s where the magic happens. The dome has more than 1,000 glass stars inset into the ceiling in an accurate rendition of the night sky

The making of magic recycling glass! Visit this unique spot where old glass bottles are turned into chandeliers, vases and other artifacts.
