Why visit the Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan?

This museum is a dream come true for every sweet-toothed palate. A showcase with souvenirs is enough to amaze you; a model of Žižka Squarenáměstí made of marzipan is even more eye-catching.

They can also visit funny "hell" and a chocolate mine and create their own sweet souvenir in a creative workshop, in memory of their visit to the museum. For more information, visit this link.
