Savoring Switzerland's sweetest secret

The season for chocolate gifting is here, but instead of bars, treat yourself with a visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate

For any chocolate lover, a pilgrimage to Switzerland's most popular chocolate museum in Zurich is a must.

A whimsical wonderland designed for budding Willy Wonkas, the Lindt Home of Chocolate offers an immersive journey through cocoa’s rich story—topped off, naturally, with the joy of sampling unlimited amounts of Lindt’s finest creations.

Tucked along the western banks of Lake Zürich, Kilchberg is a picturesque Swiss town that’s home to this decadent attraction. Opened in September 2020 during the height of the pandemic—with global ambassador Roger Federer in attendance—this immersive museum is part chocolate fantasy, part brand showcase, and all-out indulgence. Set beside Lindt & Sprüngli’s global headquarters and production facility, the museum celebrates Switzerland's other great art form—chocolate—with the same precision and pride the country reserves for its watchmaking. Here are a few of our sweet picks:
