Top Museums Included in the Swiss Travel Pass

Other must-see museums in switzerland, swiss museums for art lovers, most unique museums covered by the swiss travel pass, swiss travel pass museum list, faqs about swiss travel pass museums.

With so many to choose from, why not knock the best museums covered by the Swiss Travel Pass off your bucket list first? Whether you're interested in art, history, science, or even chocolate, there's something for every holder of the Swiss Travel Pass.

The Swiss National Museum in Zurich is a must-visit for history buffs. It showcases Switzerland's rich history and cultural heritage through a vast collection of artifacts, artworks, and historical exhibitions. This museum offers a comprehensive overview of Swiss history, from ancient artifacts to medieval weaponry and traditional costumes.

The Museum of Art in Basel is a true gem if you love art. It houses an extensive collection of artworks from various periods, including pieces by renowned artists such as Picasso, Monet, and Van Gogh.

We also recommend the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen , where adult admission costs 25 francs. With the Swiss Travel Pass, you will enter for free to see amazing art inside an architectural masterpiece. Focusing on modern art, the permanent collection includes works by artists like Picasso, Warhol, and Rothko.

For sports enthusiasts, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne is a must-see. This is especially true in 2024, the year of the Summer Olympics. This museum celebrates the history and spirit of the Olympic Games through interactive exhibits, memorabilia, and multimedia presentations.

The Swiss Travel Pass doesn't just cover the well-known museums. It also grants you access to some hidden gems that are worth exploring.

Swiss Museums for Chocoholics

We love Maestrani's Chocolarium , a haven for chocoholics and fans of Willy Wonka. Once you enter through the magical doors, you are invited to embark on an interactive journey that brings the chocolate narrative to life. At the end of the tour, you will pass an 80-meter-long glass gallery. From there, you will overlook the live production lines of the Munz and Minor brands. (There will be plenty of free chocolate to taste…)

Maison Cailler in Broc is one of those places any chocoholic should visit, be they Swiss Travel Pass tourists or internationals who live in Switzerland. Since 1898, Cailler chocolate has been a hallmark brand in the Gruyères region. The chocolate factory tour begins with an engaging historical exploration. Then, after gaining insights into the chocolate-making process, you can witness the creation of Cailler's renowned chocolate. The tour concludes with a tasting of the brand's signature treats.

For Swiss Travel Pass holders, these experiences are even sweeter as you can eat unlimited free chocolate! How cool is that?

The Best Swiss Travel Pass Castles

The Swiss Travel Pass quite literally is a key to unlocking the gates of some of the most majestic castles. At last count, nearly 45 castles offered free admission. For history enthusiasts, there's no greater adventure than climbing the ruins of medieval fortresses!

I recommend Chillon Castle as the ultimate Swiss castle to visit. Perched on the edge of Lake Geneva, it's a place where history breathes through the stones. Walking through its grand halls and secret passageways, I always feel transported to a medieval era. Save yourself the 12-franc admission and visit the castle with the Swiss Travel Pass.

Nestled in the Fribourg foothills, the Château de Gruyères commands the landscape with its fairy-tale appearance. This castle maintains its medieval structure and houses impressive art and history collections. Don't miss the views of the Saane Valley from the castle's ramparts!

The Habsburg Castle and Schloss Hallwyl are gems hidden in the Swiss countryside. The Habsburg Castle, the ancestral seat of the House of Habsburg, symbolizes the dynasty's early power. Its austere walls and historical exhibitions represent the powerful lineage that once ruled much of Europe. Schloss Hallwyl, surrounded by water, is one of Switzerland's most important moated castles. Its rooms, filled with centuries of history, offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of the nobility.

Schloss Wildegg and Schloss Kyburg are steeped in nobility. Schloss Wildegg, perched on a terraced hillside, overlooks the Aare Valley and presents a beautifully maintained estate with a baroque garden. Schloss Kyburg, towering above the Töss river, has a museum and many medieval artifacts. As a child, I was always scared to death by the iron maiden...

The Castles of Bellinzona , a UNESCO World Heritage site, are a trio of fortifications that stand as sentinels over the town. These castles - Castelgrande, Montebello, and Sasso Corbaro - are interconnected by walls that once served as a defense system. Each castle offers a unique vantage point, so visit each if you have time.

Swiss Museums About Roman History

Suppose the Swiss Travel Pass were to be named in Latin; it might be called the Peregrinatio Helvetica Passus . This translated to Swiss Journey Pass !

Switzerland offers a lot of well-preserved Roman history. Numerous Roman museums, most of which are nestled in the French-speaking part of the country, underscore the extent of Roman influence and the sophistication of Roman society in the Alpine region.

Augusta Raurica in Augst is a testament to this bygone era, inviting us to wander through the ruins of a Roman settlement. The amphitheater, temple, and myriad unearthed artifacts offer a tangible connection to ancient times.

In Avenches, Musée Romain sits amidst the remnants of Aventicum , the capital of Roman Helvetia. The museum not only displays significant archaeological finds but also offers a view of the grandeur of a Roman city through its ruins and reconstructions.

Moving on to Vallon, where the Musée Romain brings to life the everyday aspects of Roman civilization. The museum's exhibits, from domestic items to tools, paint a vivid picture of daily life in Helvetia .

The Musée Romain de Lausanne-Vidy reveals the story of Lousonna , a Roman trading post. The museum's location by the lake shore where the settlement once thrived allows us to step directly onto an archaeological site, blending education with the atmosphere of antiquity.

Nyon's Musée Romain showcases the history of the Roman town of Noviodunum with a collection that includes stunning mosaics, everyday utensils, and remnants of the town's structures, providing insights into the urban life of the Romans in Switzerland.

In Orbe, the Musée d'Orbe et Mosaïques Romaines offers a unique experience focusing on mosaics. The beautifully preserved mosaics provide a colorful glimpse into Roman artistic expression and interior decoration.

Switzerland's art scene is a vibrant palette of history and innovation, where each museum is a world unto itself. Here are some highlights, but please consult our dedicated post about Swiss Travel Pass art museums:

Kunsthaus Zürich is the largest art museum in Switzerland, where modern and contemporary masterpieces converse across time. Art aficionados will enjoy the collection of paintings and sculptures ranging from medieval times to the pulsating present.

The Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau is a beacon of Swiss artistry, its collection a testament to the nation's creative journey. Meanwhile, Museum Langmatt, in a historic mansion in Baden, has one of Europe's most significant private collections of French Impressionism.

Appenzell's Kunsthalle Ziegelhütte and Bern's Kunstmuseum stand as custodians of heritage and innovation, where the echoes of Carl Liner's legacy meet the bold strokes of Gothic to contemporary artists.

Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern unfurls as an architectural wave, cradling the essence of Klee's genius in its fluid lines.

Basel offers a trio of curious art museums: the satirical Cartoonmuseum , the historic Kunstmuseum , and the kinetic Museum Tinguely . Each space is a lens into different realms of creativity, from the power of a single line to the dance of dynamic sculptures.

The Bourbaki Panorama Luzern transports us through time and emotion, from the fervor of German Expressionism to the immersive 360-degree battlefield of history.

Luzern's Sammlung Rosengart and St. Gallen's Textilmuseum weave a narrative of personal collection and textile mastery, while Lugano's MASI and Lausanne's MUDAC challenge the boundaries between art forms.

Finally, Zürich's Museum Rietberg opens a portal to the world, celebrating mostly Asian (and Japanese) art. We always keep a close eye on their new exhibits...

The Swiss Travel Pass unlocks some rather unusual museum doors, too. Here are some of the unique museums in Switzerland you won't want to miss:

Tik-Tok: Patek Philippe Museum

The Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva is a paradise for watch enthusiasts. Discover the fascinating history of Swiss watchmaking from the 16th century to today. And admire a stunning collection of timepieces, including rare and intricate watches.

Science Fiction and Fantasy: Maison d'Ailleurs in Yverdon-les-Bains

In charming Yverdon-les-Bains, Maison d'Ailleurs opens a portal to the limitless realms of science fiction and utopia. It’s a tiny museum, yet there is a treasure trove of science fiction and fantasy, from groundbreaking literature to visionary art, charting the genres' influence on culture.

Surrealism: H.R. Giger Museum in Gruyères

Nestled in the medieval town of Gruyères, the H.R. Giger Museum presents a unique collection of the Swiss artist's works. Inside the Château St. Germain, you'll find the largest assembly of Giger's creations, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and iconic movie sets. For fans of Alien , it's like stepping onto the Nostromo …

Explore twenty rooms of Giger’s visionary and modern art, significantly influencing the film, music, and tattoo scenes. And don’t miss the surreal, skeletal architecture of the H.R. Giger Bar next door.

Magic of Music: Museum of Music Automatons in Seewen

Stop by the Museum of Music Automatons if you wind up in Seewen (no pun intended). Through a stunning collection of self-playing musical instruments, you can appreciate the intricate craftsmanship of each piece. Each piece is an homage to the region’s innovation and artistry, from ornate music boxes to grand self-playing pianos.

World of Money: Money Museum in Zurich

At Zurich's Money Museum near the financial hub of Switzerland, you can learn everything from ancient barter techniques to the modern blockchain. Interactive exhibits reveal the evolution of currency, demystifying finance's complexities. You can touch a real gold bar, symbolizing wealth's allure across ages.

You have probably already planned out your Switzerland trip by public transportation. To help you maximize the value of your Swiss Travel Pass, here are the main museums in each canton and category you can visit for free.

Lindt Home of Chocolate Review (My Recent Visit)

Lind’s Home of Chocolate blew me away. Sure, the museum here is amazing, but this stunning modern building is oh so much more!

The Lindt Home of Chocolate is a relatively new project from Lindt, located right next door to the main Lindt chocolate factory in Kilchberg, Zurich. The building houses the Lindt Chocolate Competence Foundation, a group within Lindt that aims to maintain Switzerland’s expertise in chocolate.

The Foundation has used this stunning white building in many ways.

For example, there is a Chocolate Competence Center for training, a research facility, a Pilot production line for their new ideas and then there are the areas you will love:

• a huge chocolate museum covering 1500m2
• the largest Lindt chocolate shop in the world
• a unique Chocolateria offering chocolate-making courses
• the first Lindt Café in Switzerland

Yes indeed, Lindt has left no stone unturned in this masterpiece of a building that is all about chocolate lovers. Oh wait, there is one more thing…

Right in the center of the main hall is a 9-meter (28 ft) giant chocolate fountain oozing 1500 liters from Lindt’s signature whisk high above you. It is quite a sight to behold. Just a pity you can’t dip your finger in it. But you do get free chocolate samples on the museum tour. And lots of them. More on that later!

Book Lindt Museum Tickets Ahead

The Lindt Museum is one of the most popular museums in Switzerland. Hundreds of people visit every day (and sometimes every hour!). If you want to avoid the lines when you arrive, book your ticket ahead and walk right in!

One of the best ways to do that is using the Viator website where you can choose your date and go. You can always cancel if you don’t want to go and you don’t have to pay until the day. How cool is that?

Home Of Chocolate Museum Tour

The Home of Chocolate Museum is a marvel from beginning to end. There is so much to see, read, learn and do. And if you want an audio-guided interactive chocolate tour, you can also grab one as you enter and change the language via the flags on the wall.

Now, it’s time to enter Lindt’s interactive world of chocolate….

Cocoa Beans

You start at the beginning of the chocolate journey, with cocoa beans . Exploring where they come from, how they are processed and the people whose lives are all about cocoa.

Early History of Chocolate

Next up is some chocolate history. How it came from the new world via the Spanish explorers to Europe and gradually made its way into people’s lives.

The different types of chocolate and hot chocolate and how they changed over time – from a luxury to something available to everyone. You also get to see some fun packaging from the era, many of which are very rare.

Swiss Chocolate Pioneers

Moving on to Swiss chocolate history, now it is time to learn all about Switzerland’s role in the industry. The different chocolate companies and the techniques and machinery they invented helped bring chocolate to where it is today.

Of course, Lindt features here too, and his invention of the conch, the whisk you always see and how it revolutionized chocolate from a hard, brittle mass to the smooth-flowing bars we know and love today.

Moving on, there is now a really fun display of all the different chocolate packaging from the last hundred years or so. You can really see the evolution of the Swiss chocolate industry, with the changes in bars and wrappers, as well as the merging of various Swiss chocolate companies.

Finally, it’s time to do some chocolate tasting on your Lindt chocolate tour. From a range of chocolate fountains to a cool machine that automatically dispenses broken pieces of Lindt from big bars. Take as many as you want!

In between, Lindt has represented lots of parts of their factory in simple form so we can learn how chocolate is made today. Things like Bar Forming, Cooling, De-Molding, Bar Holding and more!

Interactive Maps

The second last room in the Lindt chocolate tour is filled with fun interactive maps showing everything from chocolate consumption to the evolution of the Swiss chocolate industry.

Lindor Balls Tasting & Selfie

After you are done here, it’s time to get a selfie inside a Lindor ball and then…eat as many of them as you want! It’s kinda mind-blowing that you can just grab these Lindor balls and eat them to your heart’s content. Just don’t get sick from it all! I certainly did.

And on the other wall are some cool seats built into Lindt balls where you can take a selfie as a memento of your visit.

Get Your Gift

Once you are done in the museum, you can head out to the upper floor area and on the opposite side, you should see people lining up for the Lindt gift. Just bring your museum ticket to get yours!

Movie Auditorium

If you are still not sick and tired of chocolate there is also a short 20-minute movie on the history of Lindt or another one all about Switzerland. They alternate. Just walk straight past the chocolate fountain to the end of the corridor and you will find the auditorium there.

The World’s Largest Lindt Chocolate Shop

I have ever seen every single form of Lindt chocolate all in one place. This is certainly the biggest Lindt chocolate shop in the world. So, get your credit card ready.

Everything from Lindt blocks and Lindor balls to hot chocolate, tasty pralines and everything in between. It’s a great place to get some gifts to take home to your family and friends. You just might have trouble choosing which chocolate to buy!

I managed to get my hands on some flavors here that I have not seen on the shelves in Switzerland. The choice was mindblowing. I think they had every single product that Lindt has and does make. Of course, you can also pop around the back of the factory and visit the Lindt factory outlet store, but there is less choice and honestly, the discounts there are not that great. I think I saved 10% on some blocks.

CHOCOLATERIA: Create Your Own Chocolates

There is also a chocolate-making course you can do here in the Lindt Chocolateria. Lindt Master Chocolatiers will help you assemble your own personal chocolate creation. There are a surprising number of options for chocolate making courses here from Lindt bars, pralines, and Christmas bears to truffles. Just be sure to book your course ahead of time for you Lindt chocolate making class.

Once it’s time to put up your feet, you will find the Lindt Cafe right by the entrance on the left-hand side. Treat yourself to a cup of coffee, one of Lindt’s legendary hot chocolates, or a savory snack to keep you going.

How a weekend mistake gave us the silky smoothness of Swiss chocolate

From the iconic toblerone, inspired by the majestic matterhorn mountain, to the rich chocolate culture that permeates every corner of the country, switzerland offers a paradise for chocolate lovers..

Switzerland, famed for housing numerous chocolate factories crafting irresistible milk chocolates, sparked my curiosity during a visit. And I embarked on a journey through the museum and factory of the Lindt Home of Chocolate.

With Switzerland also home to esteemed chocolate names like Mika, Callier, and Toblerone, the temptation to explore further was tantalising. Alas, time constraints led us to choose the closest factory, nestled in Kilchberg. Amid a stunning backdrop, we were invited to embark on a sensorial journey through the rich history and exquisite craftsmanship that define Swiss chocolate.

Tracing the origins

My journey began with a glimpse into the ancient origins of chocolate, tracing its roots back to the Mayans and Aztecs of Mesoamerica. For these ancient civilisations, the cacao bean was revered for its divine properties. It was used to create a bitter, frothy beverage enjoyed during sacred ceremonies. It was a symbol of wealth and power, and a precious commodity that transcended mere sustenance.

Centuries later, chocolate made its way to Europe, courtesy of Spanish conquistadors who sweetened it with sugar, transforming it into the delectable treat we know today. Yet, it was in Switzerland that chocolate truly found its home, thanks to visionaries like Daniel Peter and Rudolf Lindt .

Rudolph’s brother, August, felt the extra liquid that was in chocolate had to be extracted so that sugar did not crystallise. This idea worked and Lindt chocolate was created. Today, thousands of chocolate and history lovers visit the renowned chocolate factory.

Twelve years later, they opened a larger confectionery in Zurich’s Paradeplatz, one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in Switzerland. Twenty years later, Rudolph Lindt bought two factories that were fire-damaged near Berne as well as several rundown machines. He wanted to change the brittle and bitter components of chocolate and make the production process less laborious.

I booked a guide for a one-hour guided tour of the museum, but you can also opt for a self-operated audio guide, accessible in six languages, and make your way through an interactional multimedia presentation commencing in the forests of Ghana. Here we learn all about how cocoa is grown, harvested and processed into the Lindt chocolate we know and love.

Monique Reisen, our private tour guide, shared insights into the philosophy of quality and innovation. “We prioritise using the finest ingredients and techniques to create unforgettable chocolate experiences,” she explained. “It’s a process that involves inspiration, experimentation, and meticulous taste testing to achieve the perfect balance of flavours and textures.”

But Lindt is just one chapter in the rich tapestry of Swiss chocolate. Switzerland boasts a plethora of chocolate brands, each with its unique story to tell. From the iconic Toblerone, inspired by the majestic Matterhorn mountain, to the rich chocolate culture that permeates every corner of the country, Switzerland offers a paradise for chocolate lovers.

The ultramodern white edifice ascends three storeys over me, with the ground floor conquered by a massive 30ft chocolate fountain pouring over an enormous Lindt ball, and an equivalently mammoth chocolate shop. Plus, the aroma is bliss!

From cocoa bean to confection

It was in the 15th century that this cocoa water reached Spain after the conquistador Cortés combatted the Aztecs and called it the “drink of the Gods”. Xocolatl was excessively bitter for European palates, so the Spanish whipped it with honey and sugar. When French King Louis XIII wedded Spanish Princess Anne of Austria, the secret recipe was out and sipping chocolate became hugely popular in the prosperous European society. With the invention of the chocolate press in the 19th century, the method of crafting chocolate became speedier and further cost-effective, permitting even the less rich to savour the sweet indulgence. And this is not the complete story yet!

The adjoining room is about “the Swiss Inventors”—or how Switzerland became the world’s chocolate capital. The copiousness of milk produced up in the verdant Alpine meadows is what makes Swiss chocolate delectably velvety. It was in 1875, when Daniel Peter joined hands with his Vevey neighbour, Henri Nestlé, to add milk powder to chocolate that milk chocolate was born.

The machine that made chocolate edible

Swiss chocolatiers went on to generate brands that are still celebrated today: Daniel Peter’s Gala, Nestlé, Toblerone, Cailler, Sprüngli and Lindt. In the middle of this room is Lindt’s revolutionary technology—the conching machine, where chocolate is repeatedly spun from side to side for up to five days, creating a much softer fineness. This allows the chocolatier to produce the smooth melt-in-your-mouth chocolate in the heart of Lindt balls.

Rudolph Lindt stumbled upon the transformative power of conching by accident. Leaving his factory machines running over a weekend, he returned on Monday to find the extended mixing had completely changed the chocolate. Intrigued, Lindt explored this further, ultimately inventing a specialized grinding machine to perfect the process.

Passing through exhibits of significant packaging and prints and the moulds for the famed gold Lindt bunny, I help myself to a spoonful of liquid dark, white and milk chocolate, and catch squares of diverse flavoured chocolate as they are fragmented off and released from machines.

My favourite is the crunchy sea salt caramel Last but not least is the chocolate tasting room, where an elongated counter holds containers of every seasoned Lindor truffles I can imagine. Once I managed to move away from the chocolate heaven, a raised walkway brought me over to the central foyer and the chocolate fountain, where 1500 kg of chocolate flowed at the speed of 1 kg per second. It leads to a lengthy glass window where I saw pilot plant machinery in all its glory, creating new products.

Swiss chocolatiers prioritise quality and craftsmanship, using only the finest ingredients and perfecting techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Snap, savour and share

As I delved deeper into the world of Swiss chocolate, stories of pioneers like François-Louis Cailler, Philippe Suchard and Daniel Peter, whose innovations have shaped the industry as we know it today, were uncovered. From mass-producing pressed chocolate to inventing mixing machines for blending sugar and cocoa, these visionaries have left an indelible mark on the history of Swiss chocolate.

Still not feeling satiated, I headed to the gigantic gift shop, a chocolatey shopping paradise of over 500 m. I tried some handmade chocolates and stocked up on all my favourites. It’s certainly the nearest I could get to running excited in Willy Wonka ’s workshop of sweet reveries.

Those interested can go for one of the on-site courses that help you make your own cocoa-based masterwork.

After absorbing so much about chocolate, I was dying to savour some. Fortunately, the Home of Chocolate apprehended this, and the next few rooms permit guests to pamper oneself in as much chocolate as one likes. Of course, one mustn’t be greedy!
