This experience was very unique with artistic detail creations of famous cartoon characters and buildings in Barcelona made from chocolate. The chocolate sculptures were fascinating to see ranging from the designs of Tom & Jerry to the world's famous cathedral; Sagrada Familia. The entrance to the museum for us was gratuious because we possessed Barcelona Cards' which we purchased from... More

If you have an extra hour or so, and you're traveling in Barcelona with kids, this is a nice spot to check out. There are chocolate sculptures, history displays, and a gift shops with an array of enticing chocolate bars. It's good for quick visit - not a ton to see, but the price of admission is low - and...

It's only about a 3 euro entrance fee and your ticket is a chocolate bar! It's a rather small but informative museum with a lot of chocolate sculptures - worth the trip if you have time. More

Barcelona may not be one of the city's people usually think about when discussing chocolate, but the history of the sweet is tightly bond to the city. Will not dosclose anything else as it is worth the visit to the museum, but all chocolate lovers, history fans, or people with kids will enjoy the visit. There are workshops and some... More

From our visit to the Mercat de la Boqueria we realized that chocolate was big in Spain so when we saw the chocolate museum on our tourist map we knew we had to go there. It was worth the visit. For 4€ it was a cheap attraction and we learnt a lot about chocolate. The sculptures are amazing. More

The museum consists mostly of chocolate sculptures and other descriptive history placards that was not too interesting. The cafe is right at the ticket entry and very small, but don't let its appearance deter you from ordering their hot chocolate. More
