Do you have a sweet tooth or a penchant for having nothing short of the best chocolates in the world? Make no mistake. The Swiss-made chocolates are simply unrivaled ever since chocolates became commercially available. But do you know of the quaint small town that makes these world-famous chocolates? The town of Zurich overflows with shops both large and small that make and sells homemade ice creams, truffles, hot chocolates and the popular Swiss chocolate bars for more than a century.

Take a stroll along the pristine streets and cobblestone lanes of Old Town or Altstadt with the help of a local guide who is usually an old hand in the town’s artisanal shops and confectionaries the country is known for. You can spoil yourself relishing its range of yummy treats for an enjoyable afternoon. In addition, you can take a well-directed crash course in the history of Swiss chocolate from none other than the local guides themselves. Become chocolate tasting pro sampling nougat, bars, truffles and pralines at neatly lined-stores.

If you aren’t still satisfied, talk to the shop owners who would be enthused to share their passion for Swiss-made chocolates their story-telling abilities would enthrall you. Whilst you take delight in single-origin chocolates, explore the history of the cacao bean. Don’t miss out on enjoying a specially-made hot chocolate at one of Zurich’s earliest confectionary including pralines, nougats, cupcakes, homemade ice-cream and pastries whichever shop you step into.

After you’re done trying out a tempting range of charming self-indulgent sweets, you can wind up for the day at Rathaus (Town Hall) by sundown.
