Visiting Lindt Home of Chocolate

About Lindt Home of Chocolate

Next to the Lindt & Sprüngli factory in Kilchberg, on the lake's western shore, this chocolate museum opened in 2020 with a chocolate fountain about 9 metres tall, an interactive exhibition on cocoa and Swiss chocolate history, tastings and a large shop. The S8 train from the main station takes about 10–15 minutes.

Tip: Go on a weekday morning, and leave room for the tasting room at the end of the exhibition.
