OFFICE DU TOURISME DU VERRE SOUFFLÉ

Glasriket, also known as the "kingdom of glass and crystal", is a cultural center located in the province of Småland. The region is renowned for its glassworks, such as Kosta Boda, Målerås, Bergdala and Skruf. You can visit a dozen glassworks and studios, where you can watch the craftsmen blow the glass and even try it yourself. The glassworks also offer factory outlets where you can buy hand-blown items ranging from household items to decorative objects. Nature is a major source of inspiration for Swedish design, and you'll find motifs such as berries, snowballs and flowers in the glassworks' creations. To complete your visit, you can also visit the Swedish Glass Museum in Växjö, which traces the history of Swedish glassworks and displays their creations. Glasriket can be reached by car or public transport from towns such as Växjö, Kalmar, Malmö, Stockholm and Göteborg.
