This self-guided walking tour visits the best chocolate shops in Zürich while seeing some of the best parts of the city. The chocolate ranges from fun sweet treats to fine artisan works of art, nice to eat along the way or pack up for treats later. 

I’ve done this walk several times with friends and family. Now it’s my go-to activity if I’m showing a visitor around the city. I hope you like it!

Below is list of the chocolate shops and suggested treats to buy at each shop. The route also includes a few cafes with great hot chocolate if you have time for a break. You can customize the route as you like, visiting just the shops that match your preferences. 

Tips for buying chocolate

Guided tours, 1. confiserie bachmann (& lindt), 2. globus gourmet grocery, 3. confiserie honold, 4. max chocolatier, 5. teuscher, 6. conditorei schober, 8. berg und tal, 9. schwarzenbach chocolate & espresso bar, optional break: cafe 1842 for hot chocolate, 10. jacot haute chocolaterie zürich, 11. sprüngli at paradeplatz, 12. chocolatier vollenweider.

Note: I try to update this post yearly, but it can happen that opening times change or shops change locations.

Chocolate shop map & walking tour

If you want to visit all the chocolate shops on my list, you can follow my suggested route below. It takes about 1 hour plus time at each shop. If you need to shorten it, end your tour at Sprüngli Paradeplatz and skip the last one, Vollenweider, which is a bit far the other shops.

View map on OutdoorActive .

If you end your tour at Sprüngli, there are several trams that leave from  Paradeplatz  back to the Zurich HB main station. If you end at Vollenweider, you can take tram 4 to Central, which is near the Zurich main station. 

It’s totally normal to buy just two pieces of chocolate to eat right away. They might offer the chocolate on a small napkin so you can just pop it in your mouth. Or they might put it in a tiny cellophane bag. Or they might pack it in a pretty gift box.

Truffles and pralines are sold by weight. Expect to pay about CHF 1.50-CHF 2.50 per chocolate piece. I would plan for at least CHF 20/pp if you want to try chocolate at each shop.

Don’t be shy. Ask questions. Many of the people behind the counter are used to English speaking tourists and are happy to help. At each shop, I asked what was popular, special or seasonal. A couple shops weren’t so friendly (I won’t name names) and just wanted to complete the purchase. But most were very friendly and offered lots of interesting info I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.

Chocolate shops in Zurich

Confiserie Bachmann is a bakery and chocolate producer from Lucerne, well known in Switzerland but not internationally. Their shop on the Bahnhofstrasse has a bakery down stairs and a chocolate shop upstairs. 

The chocolate shop is known for its chocolate river staircase and chocolate waterfall wall upstairs. They say the wall has 2000 liters of liquid chocolate, but I find that hard to believe. But it makes for a good story.

Bachmann is known for their Schutzengeli (aka guardian angel) chocolate truffles, served on little golden wings. Part of the proceeds from this chocolate go to a charity. Of their many flavors, I enjoyed cinnamon and dark chocolate, which were good if a bit sweet for my taste. You can buy prepacked boxes or they can pack you a custom box as you choose the flavors you want.

The upstairs chocolate shop shares a space with Lindt, where you can get many of the Lindt products. But that part is not so special; better to visit the nearby Lindt chocolate factory instead.

We also like their bakery, which sells our favorite Butterzopf bread (Sunday bread in Switzerland) and a fantastic apple strudel pastry that you can take to go. They also have sandwiches and other snacky items, good for a picnic.

Confiserie Bachmann Bahnhofstrasse 89, 8001 Zürich Mon – Fri 6:45 – 19:00, Sat 7:00 – 20:00, Sun 10:00 – 18:00 www.confiserie.ch

As you make your way to the next chocolate shop, you could optionally stop by Globus, which is a fancy department store with a gourmet grocery in the basement. They sell a large selection of specialty chocolate bars, many produced in Switzerland.

It’s not as fun as browsing pralines at a chocolate counter. But if you are after high quality chocolate bars, these are good sources. As you can see, there are too many brands to name here. They have a wide selection of Choba Choba, an excellent chocolate whose company actively supports ethical cocoa farming and production . We like the strawberry jalapeno flavor.

Globus Zürich Schweizergasse 11, 8001 Zürich Open Mon-Fri 10 – 19:00, Sat 9 – 19:00, closed Sundays www.globus.ch

Honold is famous for their chocolate tram, which usually runs for two weeks starting end of October. You ride around the city while you eat chocolate pralines, drink hot chocolate and eat cake. But Honold’s main business is their cafes and bakeries, where they sell a variety of pastries and chocolates. Here is the chocolate counter at their Zurich Renweg location.

Despite their long history and omnipresence in Switzerland, Honold isn’t the first place I think of when I think of chocolate. So I was a bit surprised to find that I like several of their pralines. We particularly like the ginger and coco crispy pralines. We also liked the seasonal chestnut chocolate shown below.

Confiserie Honold Rennweg 53, 8001 Zürich Open Mon-Fri 8:00-18:30 / Sat 8:00-18:00 / closed Sundays www.honold.ch

Max Chocolatier is my very favorite chocolate in Switzerland! They are a very small company based on Lucerne, handmaking small batches with inventive seasonal flavors. We think mojito praline is amazing!!! I hope its there when you visit.

In Zurich, they have a small boutique on a cobblestone lane in the old town, near St Peter’s church. It’s always worth a stop to treat ourselves to a delicious bite or two.

They change their praline flavors four times a year, so you’ll always have a good reason to go back. They usually have two vegan pralines, which are super delicious – no compromises on flavor.

They have beautiful gift boxes, a more unique gift to take home than Lindt, which you can buy anywhere. We also like their hot chocolate pod shown below, where you pour hot milk over it and stir. 

If you live in Switzerland, you can order their fantastic chocolate advent box, which usually sells out by end of October.

Max Chocolatier Schlüsselgasse 12, 8001 Zürich Mon 12:00 – 18:30 / Tues – Fri 10:00 – 19:00 / Sat 10:00 – 18:00 / closed Sun en.maxchocolatier.com

Teuscher is internationally known, with shops in many big cities around the world. But its home is in Switzerland. 

They are best known for their champagne truffles, which are sold individually and in lovely gift boxes. My family loves their candied oranges dipped in chocolate, the best we’ve ever had. Kids will enjoy their chocolates in fun animal shapes like cats and bees. 

They are also known for their seasonal figurines and decorations that double as chocolate “boxes,” hiding pralines and chocolate truffles to be discovered by the recipient. These are often given as gifts, particularly to children. Here are some from Christmas. The little Santas have a chocolate in their belly.

Confiserie Teuscher Storchengasse 9, 8001 Zürich Open Mon-Fri 10:00-18:30 / Sat 10:00-18:00 / Sun 12:00-18:00 only at Storchengasse location teuscher-zurich.ch

The newest chocolate shop in Zurich is Conditorei Schober Chocolaterie, along the Limmat river next to the Storchen hotel. At this shop, they have a small selection of handcrafted, old world style chocolate creations, pralines and other treats made with their traditional methods.

At the cafe, they serve their signature hot chocolate, famous from the old days at the famous Conditorei Schober in the old town that they founded, which is now Cafe 1842 under different management. We’re glad that the Schober brand finally has a home to call their own.

Their coffee is also good quality, sourced and freshly roasted by nearby Schwarzenbach.

While I do enjoy their chocolate, the shop seems a bit confused at the moment, geared more toward fancy gifts and no individual pralines on display like other chocolate shops. The cafe has very limited seating and not much on the menu. But I’m hopeful it will become a new favorite as they grow into the space.

Location: Wühre 15, 8001 Zürich Open: Tue-Fri 10:00-18:30 / Sat 10:00-17:00 / closed Sundays Website: www.conditorei-schober.ch

Note: this same space used to be Dieter Meier’s Oro de Cacao , which is now available at Globus, Coop City, and online.

This chocolate brand from Ticino is not a household name outside Switzerland, but they’ve been in business since 1871. Their shop has recently moved to a storefront along the Limmat river. 

They have big slabs of chocolate (we liked the one with dried raspberries) as well as truffles and pralines. We like that they serve gelato even in winter – dark chocolate flavor is amazing! 

I wanted to buy all the chocolate bars just so I could frame the adorable packaging. Their amaretti dipped in chocolate are a special treat.

Vittorio Vanini – Swiss Chocolate since 1871 Limmatquai 74, 8001 Zürich Open daily 8:00 – 19:00 www.vanini1871.ch

This little specialty grocery in the Niederdorf focuses on local, small batch, handmade food products. So no surprise they carry some great local chocolates like La Flor, Taucherli and Garçoa. 

We love all of these brands and are slowly trying all their bars, which are a bit pricey, but well worth it. Lots of other great products here as well. Last time I was there, the staff were quite knowledgeable about these brands and walked me through the whole table of chocolate. I recommend the La Flor chocolate “breadcrumbs” – yum!

Berg und Tal im Niederdorf Niederdorfstrasse 3, 8001 Zürich Open Mon 12:00-19:00, Tues – Fri 10:00 – 19:00, Sat 10:00 – 18:00, closed Sundays www.berg-tal.ch

Schwarzenbach is another small specialty grocery focusing on coffee, tea, dried fruit, spices and chocolate. In Jan 2021, they opened a small chocolate shop in the space next door which used to be coffee joint. This chocolate shop is all chocolate all the time, with a wide variety of high-end chocolate bars from Switzerland and beyond.

I was surprised to learn at many of their bars are vegan, mostly because of many of them are very dark chocolate. So many to choose, it can feel overwhelming. I buy 2-3 bars every time I go, just pick something that sounds interesting. Recently faves were Qantu goats milk, Naive peanut butter, and Garcoa Idukki. All of the bars are more expensive than at your local grocery, usually starting around CHF 5. But some bars are really expensive (like CHF 11), so check the prices so you don’t get a big surprise when you pay.

In addition to chocolate bars, they have a takeaway coffee bar with special hot and cold chocolate drinks.

Schwarzenbach Münstergasse 19, 8001 Zürich Open Mon-Fri 9:00 – 18:30, Sat 9:00 – 17:00, closed Sundays www.schwarzenbach.ch

Directly across from Schwarzenbach is the famous Cafe 1842 (used to be Cafe Schober), which has excellent hot chocolate, delicious pastries, and lovely spaces for chatting. If you need to get off your feet, this is a nice place to do it.

We usually take our visitors here for their yummy hot chocolate, served with decadent farm-fresh whipped cream. It’s not super sweet, so perhaps not everyone’s favorite style, but we still love it. We’re also partial to their lemon meringue tart and chocolate cake.

Their cozy rooms are a nice place to meet friends and rest your feet after walking around the city. We also love sitting in their atrium, a quiet space with lush plants and natural light streaming in. The outdoor patio in front is a fun place to people watch since it overlooks the main shopping street in the old town.

Note that on weekends, there can be quite a wait for a table. No reservations.

Cafe 1842 Napfgasse 4, 8001 Zürich Open daily 9:00-19:00 www.cafe1842.ch

This small chocolate producer comes from the Val-de-Travers region in northwestern Switzerland. Since absinthe famously originates from this region, some of their chocolate feature this historically controversial flavor.

Their fairly new boutique in the center of Zurich sells a delightful array of pralines, chocolate truffles, chocolate bars, and a delicious Nutella-like chocolate spread. One of their signature pieces is a nail-shaped chocolate, which is a nod to the most prominent industry of their home city.

Location: Münsterhof 4, 8001 Zürich Open: Mon-Fri 10:00-18:30 / Sat 10:00-18:00 / closed Sundays Website: www.jacotchocolaterie.ch

Note: this same space also used to be Dieter Meier’s Oro de Cacao , which is now available at Globus, Coop City, and online.

I hardly need to introduce this Zürich institution. Sprüngli is the high end arm of Lindt, with lovely shops all over Switzerland, mostly in the big cities. You really can’t go wrong here – it’s all good!

For a splurge, try the pricey Truffe du Jour, which are made the same day they are served. They usually have seasonal flavors, like this vanilla bean truffle, which is amazing.

If you need a cake, definitely get the chocolate truffle cake, which is topped with a massive triangle of pure chocolate truffle. If you want to a fun gift, I suggest the hot chocolate mix, which is chocolate shavings, not powder. For extra credit, get a little box of Luxembourglis for later. Every flavor is my favorite. You can also start your day here with breakfast in the upstairs cafe. Back in the good old days, I would often meet friends here for fancy hot chocolate and truffle brioche.

Sprüngli Paradeplatz Bahnhofstrasse 21, 8001 Zürich Open Mon-Sat 7:30-18:00, Sun 9:00-17:00 www.spruengli.ch

This chocolate shop is a far from our last stop Sprüngli. If you want to visit it, enjoy the stroll along the lake to work off some of the chocolate you just ate or you can catch Tram 2, which drops off directly at Vollenweider. They offer a wide selection of high end chocolates, with pretty shapes and interesting flavors like ginger, which I really enjoyed. I don’t go there as often as I should because it’s a bit off the main drag. But I should.

Vollenwieder Chocolatier Confiseur Theaterstrasse 1, 8001 Zürich Open Mon – Sat 9:00 – 18:00, Sun 12:00 – 17:00 www.vollenweiderchocolatier.ch

I hope you enjoy this walking tour and all the chocolate you eat! Here’s the stash I came home with last time I went out on a chocolate walk with a friend.

P.S. I know some of you are wondering why I left Läderach off this list. Here’s why.

Thank you so much for this info. I’m a Dark chocolate lover and French and this was such a fun way to discover the city. My daughter and I loved it. The maps and description Zerr so helpful.

If you’re going to leave this posted, please update. And maybe reconsider the use of komoot as the walking guide. Absolutely terrible. Had us spinning in circles plus several places were not where they were indicated to be. To anyone looking to use anything like this, double check how recently it’s been updated.

Hi Gayle, so sorry that the map wasn’t helpful. You are correct that some of the chocolate shops have changed locations since I last updated the map. It is difficult to keep over 1000 posts updated as just one person working on this website. I will put this on my ToDo list immediately. Again, sorry you had a poor experience. Hopefully you found some delicious chocolate to make up for the trouble.

Great Walking Tour. We were in Zurich for a day and visited many of the chocolate shops on the list. We had great time. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

Hi Tanya, Just a little correction to your imput to Confiserie Sprüngli. They don’t belong to Lindt & Sprüngli. Even if they have the same origin, they are seperate companys for a long time. Sprüngli is still a traditional family business. You can read about it on their website: https://www.spruengli.ch/de/ueber-spruengli/geschichte.html

Thank you for the correction! I will update the post accordingly.

It appears that Vanini has moved their premises from Kuttelgasse to Limmatquai 74 (according to google (the Kuttelgasse address says “closed permanently” and according to their actual website they do have a Zurich location still). Are you aware of this move? https://www.vanini1871.ch/it/home/#boutiques

Hi Jean, Thanks so much for letting me know! I’ll stop by the new location and update my map accordingly.

Thank you for putting this together!!! We not only enjoyed the various shops but the amazing sites along the way. We enjoyed every one of your suggestions and even more, appreciated completing on our timeline!

Absolutely loved following this for our day in Zurich. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed and fun day. Was a bit rainy when we did it and we thought it was an excellent rainy day activity. Thank you so much for the suggestions. I hope others enjoy it as much as we did!

So glad you enjoyed it! I agree that it’s a good activity for a rainy day if you have good umbrella.

Hello, I read your other post about Christmas in Zurich. You mentioned that it was very quiet Dec 26 – 27. We are considering coming to Zurich Dec 27-28. Are these stores open on these days?

Hi Samuel, I’m working on a post that gives ideas of what to do during the Christmas break. Stores are generally closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas. They should be open on 27 Dec 2022. Most Christmas markets and attractions close on 23 or 24 Dec, but a few remain open during the break.

Thank you for the delicious tips! Btw, Max Chocolatier is open in Zürich again

Thanks for the reminder to update my post. I’m so happy they are open again!

My mom and I loved going on this tour. It took us approximately 3 hours. Unfortunately the choclates section at Bachmann was still closed at 8:30 am, the chocolate selection at Globus was very small (no Choba Choba) and Vanini should have been open at 9:15 am but wasn’t. However the service at Honold early in the morning was excellent and we loved their lime pralines. We also loved the chocolate selection at Schwarzenbach which was more extensive than at Berg und Tal and their excellent hot choclate! Stops at Teuscher, Oro and Sprüngli were fun and we liked the chocolate pepper ice cream at Vollenweider. We really enjoyed this tour!

Thanks for your feedback, so helpful! I’ll update the opening times in my post. Perhaps Globus has changed their selection since my last visit when it was quite extensive. Things change! But glad the other stops worked out.

We had a really great day eating our way through this chocolate trail when we were in Zurich. Thank you for sharing this awesome post! We also followed lots of your hiking posts and visited many lovely places. Thank you for making our trip to Switzerland so much fun.

That is so nice to hear your positive feedback. Glad you had a great time in Switzerland.

Laderach is missing 🙁

Also, if anyone into matcha chocolate then I would recommend Miyuko. Technically it is a caffe, but they produce and sell best matcha chocolate in Zurich.

Hi Andrei, Thanks for the tip about Miyuko chocolate. I’ll have to try that! I did not include Läderach for the same reason that many brands have chosen to boycott them. We are a LGBTQ+ ally. https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/laederach_swiss-drops-chocolate-maker-accused-of-homophobia/45527998

Thank you for posting this with Google maps directions! Visited Zurich with my aunt, uncle and cousin. None of us wanted to do a paid tour and be on someone else’s schedule. We had so much fun with this! We found other stores along the way and met the most amazing people in the smaller chocolate shops. Thank you for helping us make some amazing memories.

Swiss chocolate is world-famous and most of the country’s best chocolatiers have at least one store in Zurich. If you’re a sweet tooth and enjoy the decadent taste of chocolate in all shapes and sizes, a proper chocolate tour of Zurich is precisely what you should plan to do in the Swiss city!

Pralines, champagne truffles, chocolate bars, and countless other iterations of this delicious ingredient are all on the menu at the numerous chocolate shops in Zurich . Whether you want to do a classic walking tour, attend an unlimited chocolate tasting and eat as much chocolate as you can stomach, or go to a chocolate factory, we’ve got options for you in this guide to the best chocolate tours, Zurich edition!

Table of Contents

Swiss Chocolate Walking Tour in Zurich

A chocolate walking tour of Zurich is a perfect way to discover this beautiful city. Most of these tours take place in the old town of Zurich because that is where all the best chocolate shops are, and you’ll get to see all the city’s top historical landmarks in between tastings and visits to chocolatiers.

Also, all the walking you’ll do on this tour will help burn off some of those calories, so you don’t have to feel quite as guilty about all the chocolate you eat. It’s possible to organize this tour on your own if you want, or you can sign up to do a tour with a local guide. The price range of guided tours is 30-80 CHF, and the tastings are included in the price.

Chocolate Tasting Tuk-Tuk Tour in Zurich

Tuk-Tuk tours are becoming more and more popular throughout Switzerland, not just in Zurich. A fondue Tuk-Tuk tour is one of the most popular ways of discovering the city in the winter, and I need you to know that you can substitute the cheese fondue for a chocolate fondue.

Up to four people can sign up for this tour, which includes a bucket of melted chocolate in the middle of the Tuk-Tuk and cut-up pieces of fruit you can dip in the pot. The main advantage of this tour is that you get to see all of the city’s best landmarks and tourist attractions while snacking on delicious chocolate. Plus, you don’t have to get out of the Tuk-Tuk at all, and you’re sightseeing at a faster pace than on walking tours.

Tuk-Tuk chocolate tasting tours last for 90 minutes, and they’re best for groups of 2-4 people. The price is 85 CHF per person for a two-person private tour, but only 69 CHF per person for tours with 3 or 4 people.

Lindt Home of Chocolate Guided Tour & Entry Ticket

Lindt Home of Chocolate is situated in Kilchberg, on the western shore of Lake Zurich. It’s worth it to plan an excursion to this chocolate museum, which features a spectacular chocolate fountain, a Lindt shop and cafe, and excellent exhibits on the history and making of chocolates.

You can tour the museum however you want; travel there by train from Zurich and purchase a 15 CHF ticket at the entrance, for the most affordable experience. Expect to spend around 30 CHF for a guided tour of the museum with chocolate tasting.

Zurich City Tour with Lake Cruise & Visit to Lindt Home of Chocolate

Want To Save This For Later?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

Another option for visiting the Lindt Home of Chocolate is to sign up for a five-hour boat tour of the lake, which ultimately takes you to the museum in Kilchberg.

This is a really good option for people who are in Zurich for the first time and want to explore as much of the city and its surroundings as possible. The price of this tour is approximately 75 CHF per person, but it takes 5 and a half hours, and it includes a boat trip to Kilchberg.

However, before you get on a boat and travel to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, you’ll get the opportunity to discover some of Zurich’s most famous landmarks. Tour-goers all board an air-conditioned coach, which takes them past the National Museum, Zurich Opera House, Bahnhofstrasse, and all the way to a scenic viewpoint next to the Dolder Grand Hotel. Travelers are then taken on a walk through the Old Town, and finally to Limmatquai, where they board a boat to Kilchberg – where the Lindt Factory is.

Zurich Chocolate Hunting Tour with a Local

A Chocolate Hunting Tour with a Local can be booked on Viator and Tripadvisor, so it’s more expensive than the tours offered by Zurich’s official tourism office. However, this is also one of the few options if you want a private tour of the city’s best chocolatiers , and worth the money.

The tour is suitable for groups of 2-6 people, and the price is approximately 153 CHF per person. It includes visits to Läderach, Confiserie Teuscher, Confiserie Sprungli, and Schober Cafe. You get to taste the chocolates at every location, and the local guide will tell you everything you need to know about the history of these famous chocolatiers, as well as what makes them such an integral part of Swiss cultural heritage.

Sustainable Bean-to-bar Chocolate Tour

A bean-to-bar chocolate tour is the best option for people who are genuinely interested in the process of making chocolates. It illustrates every step of the process, from the harvesting of cocoa beans to adding the final touches to the pralines and chocolate bars.

If you sign up for a guided bean-to-chocolate-bar tour, expect to pay around 87 CHF. This will include sightseeing in a group of a maximum of 10 people, and tasting chocolates at three different locations. The local guide will also tell you everything they know about the ethical chocolate-making scene of Zurich, so you’ll gain some valuable insider knowledge.

Another option is to do the Chocolate Safari tour at Garcoa . This is only 20 CHF per person, and it’s the best budget bean-to-bar tour you can do. You get to see the entire manufacturing process of Garcoa chocolates and taste plenty of them, and the entire tour takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

Max Chocolatier Chocolate Tasting

Max Chocolatier is one of Zurich’s premium chocolate shops that offer unique experiences to visitors. They organize workshops where you can learn to make chocolates, ice cream, and stamp truffles, in addition to basic chocolate tastings where you get your hands dirty only because the delicious truffles are melting in your fingers.

The only issue is that these events take place at their headquarters in Lucerne. They still have a shop in Zurich at Bahnhofstrasse that you can visit and sample chocolate if you want. But if you really want to attend a workshop or take part in a high-class chocolate-tasting event, you’ll need to make your way to the city of Lucerne. It’s only a 50-minute train ride/drive from Zurich and it’s absolutely worth the effort for such a unique experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for chocolate tours in zürich.

The cost of Zurich chocolate tours depends on the type of tour you’re doing, but on average it’s anywhere from 20 CHF per person for a self-guided tour with tastings, up to 150 CHF per person for private chocolate tastings and makings. It really depends on the type of experience, and organizing your own chocolate tour and tasting a piece or two at each shop is the most affordable option. 

When is the best time to do a chocolate tour in Zurich?

Any time of the year is a good time for a chocolate tour of Zurich. Warmer months are great because it’s more enjoyable to walk around the town in between the visits to chocolate shops, but tasting chocolates in the winter will give you that boost of serotonin that’s missing when it’s freezing outside. 

Are chocolate tours in Zurich suitable for children?

Yes, chocolate tours in Zurich are suitable for children, and your kids will doubtless enjoy this type of city tour. However, if you’re trying to limit and monitor the sugar intake of your kids, taking them on a chocolate tour with tastings in every shop might not be the best idea.
