Satisfy your love of chocolate in the city's harbour and gain quick access to Cologne's Chocolate Museum with these skip-the-line tickets.
The Chocolate Museum is entirely dedicated to this delicious indulgence and offers visitors a detailed explanation of the fascinating history of cocoa and chocolate, from its use by the Aztecs and Mayans as the 'food of the gods' to becoming the exquisite product we all enjoy today.
Explore historic chocolate-making machines from the age of industrialisation, discover the process of preparing your favourite confectionery and take in unparalleled views of the Rhine River from the museum's cafeteria, thanks to its 30-metre-long panoramic windows.
Embark on an educational journey through 5,000 years of chocolate history in a museum shaped like a boat! The tour starts with the ancient pre-Columbian cultures of the Americas, such as the Mayans and the Aztecs, and takes you through the Baroque era, industrialisation and finally, to contemporary chocolate products.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is a structure in the form of a tropical house with cocoa trees. In the glass-walled chocolate factory, you can clearly observe the manufacturing process of chocolate bars, hollow figures and pralines, both in industrial and artisanal production.
In an impressive three-metre-high chocolate fountain made of golden cocoa beans, 200 kilograms of delicious chocolate flow steadily for you to taste. The museum itself is so impressive that it is also a popular wedding venue. What's more, your chocolate dreams will come true in the hotel's café - it's not to be missed!
