A Taste of Sweet Zürich

Sure, there's a charming old town, a beautiful view of the lake and Alps in the distance, as well as an outstanding culinary scene. But, let's face it, if you're in Zürich chocolate is on your mind.

For the serious chocolate lover, Kerrin Rousset's Sweet Zürich tours is a must. You'll take in the best of the city's sweet side, from the famous Sprüngli to small artisan shops. Be aware, however, that you will never be satisfied with your average supermarket candy bar after this.

Want to explore on your own? Be sure to check out the charming Cafe Peclard Schober in the Niederdorf, Truffe near the Lindenhof, and the Sprüngli flagship store at Paradeplatz with their decadent made-fresh-daily truffles. For fun souvenirs, several Merkur locations throughout the city have a great selection of chocolates from across Switzerland, some with fantastic vintage packaging.
