Choco-Story Museum
Chocolate lovers can't take a holiday to Bruges without stopping
at the Choco-Story Museum, which details the history of chocolate
dating back to the Mayans in 250 BC, and also demonstrates how the
raw ingredients of cocoa are turned into the sweet treats everyone
loves. Of course each tour includes a tasting session, and plenty
of time in the gift shop. It's tempting to buy right then and
there, but keep in mind that Bruges has more than 40 chocolate
shops throughout the city!
