swarovski museum

Hi. I am coming at Vienna at the end of September, and I am interested to go at swarovski museum in innsbruck.

1) How can I get by train or air plane?

2) How long does it take by train?

3) Should I first go to innsbruck and then take a bus to go to the museum?

Please let me know how can i get there and how far is from vienna

thanks

I assume that you refer to Swarovski Kristallwelten

Crystal world in Wattens, just east of innsbruck.

I would caution you about this visit .

Most are not happy with this place to visit.

It shows nothing of manufacturing , various exhibits not so interesting.

suggest that you look at the website

www.kristallweltenswarovski.com

they show as much as you will see.

They of course have a shop for purchases, but no real discount or greater selection.

The trip is best made by train about 5 hour journey one way. Not inexpensive.

You could take a plane but the actual total time would not be that much different adding in check in , waiting time and actual journey.

This is a full day trip and time better spent elsewhere unless you are a Swarovski fanatic.

They have a fine shop on Karntnerstrasse in the center of Vienna with the same merchandise on 2 floors and I believe they also now build a new and bigger shop on Mariahilferstrasse in Vienna. No idea when this opens

If you visited Innsbruck intendedly, then it would be an option. But I would not go there from Vienna just for that. It takes around 5 hours each way on the train. Better spend your time in Vienna and surroundings. If it is a must for you, well then do it!

Hi Diana,

All that way for the Swarovski Museum??? It%26#39;s not in Innsbruck but in nearby Wattens. While the tour may be mildly interesting, it%26#39;s nothing more than a huge Swarovski store. The items for sale were no bargain either (my wifes opinion). There must be a Swarovski store in Viennea. I%26#39;d check that before going all the way to the Innsbruck area.
