Switzerland - Chocolate Trail (Zurich)
June 14, 2022Go to Switzerland and not eat chocolate? No way.
In Zurich, we embarked on a Chocolate Trail. Basically it's a (free) walking trail around the city where you can sample and buy lots of delicious chocolates.

(Big shout out to Tanya from Swiss Family Fun - we followed so many of her guides, from hiking to fun trails in the city!)
First up, we visited Bachmann x Lindt, which is a short walk from Zurich HB train station.
Welcome to the wonderful land of chocolates and more.
I loved these little macaroon stools.
Shop number three is called Honold. They have been around since 1904!
I really enjoyed these - they surprised me because there is a coating of sugar, which is immediately followed by a coat of white chocolate and a very refreshing zesty fruit centre! This was really fun to eat.
The staff was young but very enthusiastic and friendly. He was also very patient and recommended chocolates though we were only buying four. He even gave us two complimentary chocolates! :')
We just popped them into our mouths. I think they were some pistachio chocolates. Sorry, my memory fails me. We were loving the trail thus far though!
Next stop, Vanini!
Vanini has been around since 1871.
We're here for the dark chocolate gelato, but they have fruit flavours too!
Look at that perfection. You can choose the kind of cone you want. I chose the one that had finely chopped almonds! DO NOT MISS THIS STOP!!! Their gelato is smooth and absolutely rich. You might not even want to share.
There were no fresh chocolates here, but there was chocolate to drink! We got a chocolate coffee.
