Belgium is world famous for its chocolate, and chocoholics can immerse themselves in the stuff at a new museum in the city of Antwerp.
Chocolate Nation is located opposite the city’s main station and was recently opened on February 14.
Visitors to the 4,000-square-metre facility can learn more about the history of chocolate, as well as famous brands and manufacturers. Chocolatiers will even carry out live demonstrations, explaining how they work.
Entry costs 16.50 euros for adults – and if that sounds a bit pricey, consider that it includes several samples.
