In researching my upcoming trip, I came across this, which opened earlier this year:
https://www.lindt.ch/de/lucerne
I will not be buying tickets for the experience, as I have been to the one in Zurich, but I will certainly be stocking up on chocolate. :-)
The rest of us rabble will just have to make do with this
Happy travels
Ha! The rabble doesn’t know what they’re missing. :-) The Swiss made Lindt really is noticeably better quality than what we get here.
Exactly what Carrie said.
Will have the Lindt Chocolate experience in Zurich in a couple of weeks, but why not stop in while in Lucerne too? Can you experience too much chocolate? It can't possibly taste like Costco Lindt!
Some of us “rabble” don’t even get into a Costco, and Lindt bars have gotten so expensive that it’s maybe worth considering making a trip all the way to Switzerland to get better chocolate, without paying U.S. prices!
FWIW, Safeway has a “Buy 2, Get One Free” offer this week, along with a “sale,” so for bars that are now regularly priced at $6.99 apiece (!!!!), you can get three for $9.98.
The Safeway grocery store’s house brand for dairy is Lucerne, so they’re trying to infer some kind on a connection.
Carrie,
Thank you so much for this information! We're in Lucerne ahead of the Alpine tour!

Headed there next May, thanks for the heads up! It will absolutely go to the top of our list.
$11.50 now for the dark chocolate classic recipe hazelnut bar, if you can find it…….despondent! Of course what’s better is being at the Lindt factory and buying a package as they make it in front of you…….
I don't think the Lindt bars sold in the US are made in Switzerland. Check the back of the wrapper. Sometimes I find chocolate actually made in Europe at Trader Joe's (Belgium) and World Market.
I am proud to say that chocolate from my April trip to the NL and Belgium actually lasted a little over 3 months. My carry-on suitcase was full of chocolate. That's the beauty of only taking four outfits. 🙃
Thank you for posting this. We were sad to miss the one in Zurich because we chose to stay in other cities. Now we can check this out when we’re in Luzern.
We did the new Lindt Chocolate Experience in Lucerne this past week and really enjoyed it! I can’t compare it to the Zurich location because I have not been but the Lucerne location feels so fresh and beautiful! We received so much chocolate in many forms that it more than paid for the admission price. I recommend it!
