What a Brussels chocolate tour involves
Most chocolate tours in Brussels follow one of three formats: a guided walk with tastings, a hands-on workshop, or a visit to a chocolate museum. The old town around the Grand Place is the usual setting, because the lanes are close together and you can walk between stops. Details such as meeting points, languages, number of tastings and cancellation terms differ by provider, so read each listing before you pay.
Below you find what a museum visit and a workshop usually look like, with prices and times for 2026. Book through the live listings on this page, where prices and free dates are shown for the day you choose.

The chocolate museum
One museum as an example.
A chocolate museum at Rue de l'Étuve 41 shows cocoa growing, processing and the history of chocolate. The visit includes an audio guide, a tasting and a demonstration, and it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed on 25 December and 1 January, and an additional closure from 4 to 15 January 2027 is announced.
| Ticket | Price 2026 |
|---|---|
| Adult | €16 |
| Young people, 12 to 26 | €12 |
| Seniors, 65 and over | €14 |
| Children, 3 to 11 | €10 |
Book ahead online for your date, especially at busy times. For most visitors who want chocolate history and a tasting in one stop, the museum is the simplest start.
Chocolate workshops
In a workshop you make something yourself under guidance, for example your own bar, lollipops and mendiants. A session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes. The minimum age is 7 years. Children aged 7 to 12 need a paying adult with them, and a reservation is required.
A group booking costs €43 per person including the museum. Prices for single places can differ, so check the price when you book.
A workshop suits families, couples and anyone who would rather make than watch. If you only want to taste, a guided walk is lighter.
Pralines and a little history
Where the Belgian praline comes from.
The filled Belgian praline dates to 1912 and is tied to the Galerie de la Reine in the Royal Galleries. The ballotin box followed in 1915. It is a good reason to walk the arcade. For the arcade itself, see the Royal Galleries of Saint Hubert.
| Format | Length | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate museum | 1 to 1.5 hours | History, audio guide and a tasting |
| Workshop | 45 to 60 minutes | Making your own chocolate |
| Guided tasting walk | Varies by tour | Combining the old town with tastings |
For most visitors, the museum plus a short walk through the old town is the easiest plan. Families with children from 7 years should look at a workshop first.
