Zurich’s Old Town (Aldstadt) is among the prettiest parts of the city. Walking tours typically offer an intimate glimpse of the area’s top landmarks, including Lindenhof, St. Peter’s Church (originally built before 900 AD), and the Fraumünster Church, and history buffs will love learning about the area's unique history and culture of Switzerland’s biggest city.

When in Switzerland, do as the Swiss do and dive into a bowl of melted cheese. There are many fondue options in and around Zurich, from tuk-tuk tours serving onboard fondue to full-day excursions that combine sightseeing with a fondue dinner. If you’re after the full dining experience, head to Chalet Züriberg in District 7, where you can tuck into local fondue fare in a traditional wooden chalet setting.

Located on the city's border, the Uetliberg mountain is a paradise for outdoor adventurers. Its summit offers panoramic views of Zurich, Lake Zurich, and the Alpine landscape beyond, while the Planetenweg Trail connects the Uetliberg to the Falsenegg summit through a family-friendly, 2-hour hike. Look out for city sightseeing packages that include an Uetliberg stop or take the S10 train directly from Zurich HB.

No visit to Switzerland would be complete without a taste of the country’s chocolate. The Lindt Home of Chocolate on the outskirts of Zurich is the premier destination for sweet-toothed visitors, while more central schoggi (“chocolate” in Swiss German) attractions include Confiserie Sprüngli and Max Chocolatier. Or choose a chocolate walking tour where you can eat chocolate along the way while learning about local landmarks.

Zurich’s Industriequartier, also known as District 5, is a thoroughly modern neighborhood with a bohemian twist. Here you can sample some of the area’s up-and-coming gastronomic trends, learn about its unique social history, or discover the neighborhood from an LGBTQ+ perspective.

Cap off a busy day with dancing, drinks, or a little of both.

Table of Contents

Swiss Chocolate Walking Tour in Zurich

Chocolate expensive

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 chocolate 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

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

Lindt Home of Chocolate

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

Bean To Bar

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.

  • Anne H 0 contributions 0 4.0 of 5 bubbles Excellent half day trip from Zurich This was an excellent half day trip. Thomas, our guide, did a good job and Sergei, the bus driver gave us a smooth ride. The falls are well worth visiting as is the optional boat ride. Stein Am Rhein is a fabulous village to visit. All in all, a good trip.
