If goulash, paprikás, sausages and other Hungarian specialties are not the kind of food you would like to taste in Budapest, then we have another tip for you: visit Chocolate Museum for a memorable and really sweet tour.
 
The museum is located in the 16th district of the capital. They offer different type of chocolate tours: “Praline Tour”, “Palatial Tour” and “Deli’Do Extra Program” are organized several times a week and each one of them offers theoretical and practical knowledge about chocolate.

At the end of the tour, you can stay for some more chat about chocolate, and this will be the time and place for you to ask your further questions to the choco-tour guide. The whole program takes 1.5 hours.
