Schokoladenmuseum can be easily accessible as there's a bus stop in front of it. In Dec, I won't recommend visiting this area , especially with kids, as there is a Xmas market right in front of it.

We visited the Lindt Chocolate Museum and absolutely loved it! First of all, the museum’s restaurant is excellent - high-quality food, incredible chocolate, great service, and a beautiful view (definitely best to visit during daylight).

I enjoyed it so much and truly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Location is convenient along the river so if one is coming from a river cruise docking, can walk over in minutes. There are a lot of people, so would recommend booking tickets ahead of time. We decided to go late and managed to get 2 of the last 3 tickets within the 2 hrs before closing. Do note that there are discount tickets closer to end of day for a reason. The stations close half an hour before the entire museum close (6pm close then 5:30pm stations are cleared). With the amount of people,
