Such a lovely factory! The price of the is okay. You can see the inside of a (although it's not as magical as seen in the movie Charly and the Factory). At the begin of the you get a sample of 'fresh' from the small fountain. After the visit you walk through the shop where you can taste the before buying it. Such delicious chocolate! Awesome place. Very polite staff and pleasant atmosphere in the museum! The was really great, we bought really a lot, because we had already been here before and we liked this place. I liked the balls. Many years after my last visit, I went there again. The small basically is the same, however, they charge for it now. The tasting options in the shop have been reduced significantly. Still a nice short stop close to Lugano. Small but the is very good! In my opinion, visiting the Alprose is not really worth it. The place is very small, and there’s no real reason to pay an entrance fee for something you can easily buy anywhere else. If you still decide to go, you can take the S60 train from Lugano FLP to Caslano Station, then walk about 150 meters to reach the factory. Personally, I recommend spending your time enjoying the beauty of Lugano and its surroundings instead, especially since the production lines are not operating on weekends, which makes the visit quite limited. Save your time to explore the city and buy whenever you like without extra costs. We arrived an hour before it is closed. Usually you would see the employee working if arrived before 4 o’clock so by 4 o’clock, we only had one hour to walk our self through the factory, but it’s worth it. You’d see the history of and the progress of the from being drunk to being eight and the creation of the molds . It was interesting to see the. Ceramic dishes which was used for by notability before was available for all people. It was buy to buy some chocolates on July because we eventually get all our melted however, I ate it anyway 😅 Taking a peak into for €5 and getting very reasonably priced chocolate- yes please 👍🏻 Via elevated platforms you can watch the process of manufacturing, then there is one room with a quick history of chocolate, and by the end there is a shop with really well-priced of all sorts. A dream come true for lovers (which I believe is 99% of the planet). And staff is super friendly and speak English. I'll be back! The Alprose is small but charming. When we visited, the wasn’t operating, so we didn’t get to see the being made in real time, which was a bit disappointing. However, they do show interesting videos about the history of and how it’s made, which makes up for it in a way! 📽️✨ Right at the entrance, there’s a fun fountain that sets the mood perfectly – it smells amazing and definitely gets you in the spirit! 🍫⛲they give you a taste of it, of course 😋 At the end of the visit, you get to enjoy some tastings (yum!), and there’s a cute shop where you can buy all kinds of delicious Swiss chocolates to take home. 🛍️🍬 Overall, it’s a short and sweet experience, great for lovers and families. If you’re in the area and craving something sweet, it’s definitely worth a quick visit! Consensus is about right, this is a simple tour of a small, working factory. While not an immersive experience, they are generous with samples and the quality is good even if the reputation doesn’t match the more prestigious Swiss brands. Worth a brief detour if you are in Ticino with kids. For 5 CHF You get a nice little tour at the with some sqmple tasting. If you're in the area, you should stop by. Cute little museum, and a good view of the factory. Not very big so you can go through it quite quickly. I love the fact the free tasting is varied, and a wonderful selection to buy. The space is nice and a cool break from the heat, but as a heads up to others with celiac, there are no ‘safely’ gluten free options available. I was told “all chocolates with gluten” when I asked about allergens. It was pretty disappointing as I had checked products online and not seen that warning—and what fun is a without a single sample?
