No other museum will tickle your senses. The smell of chocolate is omnipresent, teasing your appetite. I assure you that the piece of chocolate you receive at the entrance won't last long. If you bring <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/barcelona-with-children\/\">your children with you on your trip to Barcelona<\/a>, <strong>this museum will probably become their favorite.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the start of the chocolate history tour, you'll learn how chocolate was brought from South America to Europe by the Spanish conquerors. Columbus knew about cocoa, but was unaware of its power.<\/p>\n<p>Without additional sweeteners, the cocoa brought back by the Spaniards was not a very popular drink. With the addition of sugar or honey, <strong>he quickly made a name for himself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124780981\"><\/a><strong>Cross the museum halls to discover the secrets of chocolate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the second room, you'll discover <strong>the recipe for \"Xocoatl<\/strong>the cocoa beverage of the Aztecs and the importance of chocolate to ancient Latin American cultures such as the Aztecs and Mayans.<\/p>\n<p>The tour continues with a look at the history of chocolate in Europe and its influence on art and baking. Several chocolate works of art are on display. However, these works of art <strong>are not intended to be eaten.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A large section features videos explaining the history and production of chocolate. The largest section of the museum shows how chocolate is made. Machines are on display, demonstrating the different manufacturing processes. From the grinding of dried cocoa beans to the molding of chocolate bars, <strong>you'll have a lot to say on the subject.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124780982\"><\/a><strong>Chocolate events<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Museu de la Xocolata offers regular chocolate-themed events, tours and workshops (in Catalan, Spanish and English). You can, for example, learn how to make chocolate sculptures. For details of the events taking place on the day of your visit, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museuxocolata.cat\/\">our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can buy all kinds of chocolate variations and other sweets at the museum store waiting for you at the entrance and exit of the museum. At the caf\u00e9, you can sample the original Xocoatl.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4146225638_40779aaabf_b.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1938\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4146225638_40779aaabf_b.jpg\" alt=\"chocolate museum barcelona\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4146225638_40779aaabf_b.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4146225638_40779aaabf_b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4146225638_40779aaabf_b-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124780983\"><\/a><strong>Barcelona Chocolate Museum: what are the opening hours?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The chocolate museum remains open:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monday to Saturday <strong>10 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Sundays and public holidays <strong>10 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The establishment reserves the right to close its doors to the public on January 1\u1d49\u02b3 and 6 and December 25 and 26.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124780984\"><\/a><strong>How much does admission cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Entrance fees are :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>6 \u20ac per adult<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>5.10 \u20ac for children aged 7 to 18<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The museum is free for children under 7.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc124780985\"><\/a><strong>How do I get there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting to Barcelona's Chocolate Museum is easy.
