Timeline
10:00
Arrive at Choco-Story Museum right when it opens at 10:00. This is the quietest time to enter, avoiding the Sunday crowds mentioned in the description. Take your time to explore the exhibits on chocolate's history and stay for the making exhibition to get your samplers.
10:45
Walk two minutes to Trattoria Trium for a relaxed lunch. The warm, home-like decor and authentic Italian dishes like pasta or pizza provide a comfortable break after the museum.
11:45
Take a ten-minute walk south to Hof Arents park. It is a peaceful spot to rest your feet and enjoy the greenery, just a short distance from your lunch.
12:15
End your outing with a five-minute walk to Chocolatier Van Oost. Since it opens at 10:00, it is now open and ready for you to browse their high-quality artisanal chocolates.
