Maybe that&#8217;s because the country is home to some of the most famous chocolatiers in the world? Belgium&#8217;s acclaimed &#8216;master of chocolate&#8217; title is all thanks to one man, a Swiss (ironic) apocathery called Jean Neuhaus. Jean used to cover his medicine in chocolate in order to mask its unpleasant flavour, genius. In 1912, Jean Neuhaus Jr. went on to replace medicine with cream, and, from there, the Belgian praline was born. It&#8217;s still one of the most popular types of chocolate around today! Be sure to visit a Neuhaus store for a taste of Belgian&#8217;s most luxurious chocolates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Explore Brussels and visit a Neuhaus store in your free time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/best-of-holland-belgium-and-luxembourg?optionId=503\">Best of Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-hershey-s-chocolate-world-united-states\">2. <strong>Hershey&#8217;s Chocolate World, United States<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GettyImages-909076782-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to the home of Hershey&#8217;s in Pennsylvania, for a fun, experiential tour through the world of chocolate.
