Lucerne's headline chocolate stop, right where the lake boats dock. The shop's gimmick is a literal cascading wall of melted chocolate behind glass, plus an enormous range of pralines, Luzerner Lebkuchen, and souvenir tins. Good for picking up gifts to take home — they vacuum-seal for travel. Skip the queues right after the morning tour buses arrive at 10:00.
