One of the more unusual attractions in the Croatian capital, the Chocolate Museum Zagreb tells the story of everybody’s favourite delicacy from the exotic jungles of Mesoamerica right through to Willy Wonka.
Also focusing on revered domestic brands and the invention of rice chocolate by pioneering confectioners Zvečevo in Požega, the permanent exhibition here touches on the Baroque royal courts of Europe and the labour-intensive factories of England after the industrial revolution.
Hour-long guided tours in English and German are a treat for the senses, bookended by a chocolate tasting. The museum hosts workshops and themed events, and contains Zagreb’s only chocolate boutique.
Chocolate Museum Zagreb, Varšavska 5 (+385 1 209 2966, info@muzejcokolade.hr). Open Tue-Sat 10am-8pm, Sun 10am-7pm.
