I stumbled on Artel (close to Charles Bridge) on my first evening in Prague (November 2012), attracted by its classy front that so naturally and finely fits in the beautiful sorroundings. I'm half-Czech and this was my first visit to my "second homeland" and to the city that so meaningful was to me. I was in a very special state... More

I bought 2 glasses which are now placed as an art object in our flat, because they are so beautiful. Absolutely no standard, fine craftsmanship, bright colours and a wonderful surface feel! A perfect consulting service, a packaging to survive the flight back home, well done! Thank you Alena!

This is a shop with really beautiful things, especially the glass. The Mala Strana shop is hidden away just under the Charles Bridge. But this is not tourist junk.

Artel is an absolute "not-to-be-missed" jewel in the heart of the historic district. The store is small, but has a wide selection of breathtaking, impressively hand-crafted, high quality glass. Alena (store manager) was very knowledgeable on how each piece was created. The only problem will be trying to decide what to buy because everything here is stunning. Fortunately, Alena guided...

When looking at things to do in the beautiful city of Prague a visit to a ‘shop’ would not normally be on my list. However, to describe Artel as a shop is not doing it justice. The shop is more of a gallery and has a wide selection of pieces, the quality of the design and manufacture of the glassware... More

the stuff is really beautiful and very unique. more funky modern styles of bohemian crystal, much better than what you find in most places. definitely one of the best in town. the styles are mainly geometric/deco, or heavily floral. my one complaint was the shop assistant was a little bit like the ladies in pretty woman who don't want julia...

It's by no means cheap, but it is THE place for premium Czech Art Glass, masterfully designed and made. Gorgeous, unusual, non-typical jewellery, too. Service s friendly, and helpful, and there are clever witty gifts available at a wide range of price points. My favourite shop in Prague.

This was by far the best glass shop we saw in Prague. You are bound to be tempted by the retro deigns and workmanship.
