Next morning we moved to the Crowne Plaza Zurich, and once again the SBB lockers at the main station looked after our bags while we got on with the day. A short tram ride took us to Albisriederplatz, a few minutes’ walk from the new hotel.
The afternoon went on the Lindt Home of Chocolate at Kilchberg, just outside the city, where we learned about the history of chocolate making and tasted plenty of it along the way. The chocolate fountain in the entrance hall stands more than nine metres tall.
In the evening we met our tour group for the first time over Spanish tapas at Iberia Tapas. It was the start of some good friendships.

We checked these details in October 2026. Times, prices and rules do change, so it’s worth a quick look at the official sites before you go.
