Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate - that’s all I need to say right? Take a tour and eat your way around Chocolate Nation, the biggest Belgian chocolate museum in the world (yes, there are samples!)
The chocolate museum is so close to the central station you can almost taste the artisanal and Belgian chocolate in the air when you get off the train. You get to see the history of Belgian chocolate and you can indulge in sweet treats galore in the centre of the city! This ones great with the family or visiting with friends as well.
- The tour is interactive so you get to see and smell the history of Belgian chocolate with projections and plenty of moving parts. The history of chocolate should never be boring!
- Try out the chocolate samples as you go on your tour. You won’t regret trying every single one, and you can buy your favourite one in the shop afterwards..
- One of the best parts about the museum is watching the chocolatiers actually make the chocolate. It’s like one of those satisfying videos, but it’s right in front of you and you get to eat it.
- Do you want to be a chocolatier? Chocolate Nation offers workshops so you can try making Belgian chocolate yourself.

From the pretty neons, friendly staff to the smell of chocolate in the air everything was screaming "sweet", so if you are in a sour mood, this can definitely lighten up your day.
My favorite part was the restaurant, an extremely adorable show, that you can enjoy no matter what age or language you speak (even though the museum offers guides in 5 different languages!).
