Chocolate Museum

Summer temperatures still here in Lugano! But what to do if it were to rain?

At Colorado we also give you ideas for rainy days, to discover a side of Ticino that in summer is often forgotten in favor of outdoor activities.

To the delight of adults and children alike, a fountain gushing hot chocolate awaits visitors at the entrance to Schokoland in Caslano, the most widely visited museum in Ticino with 70,000 visitors each year. In addition to allowing you to discover the history of chocolate, peppered with anecdotes and amusing stories, this special experience offers visitors a chance to actually observe the production of this "delight of the gods" and, above all, taste and even purchase the cocoa-based delicacies of Alprose Chocolate, which exports more than 5,000 tons of chocolate annually across the globe.
