Directions

The CHOCOVERSUM is located in Hamburg’s historic old town, less than a 10-minute walk from the main train station.

The entrance is located in the street “Pumpen” in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and opposite the historic Chile House.

Our address is:
Chocoversum GmbH
Meßberg 1
20095 Hamburg

For the arrival by public transport, please use the subway line 1 (U1), stop Meßberg. The CHOCOVERSUM is located directly at the station.

For a barrier-free arrival, use the bus lines M4 and M6 to the Brandstwiete stop.

For longer parking, the parking lot at the Deichtorhallen (Oberbaumbrücke 1) is closest.

However, due to the limited and paid parking situation, we recommend that you use public transport to get here.

In our online shop, you can view the current availability of our tickets. If no more tickets are shown online, there will also be no more tickets available on-site at the box office. We look forward to seeing you at a later date.

We generally recommend the chocolate tour for children 6 years and older. However, we understand that every child is individual and that you as parents know your child and its needs best. Therefore, we ask you to independently consider whether the 90-minute tour is suitable for your young child.

Children up to and including the age of 5 are admitted free of charge and receive a free ticket.

Please book a corresponding ticket (Children free entry (0-5 Years) or Children free entry (0-5 Years) with chocolate) in our online store when purchasing your ticket or purchase the ticket on-site at our box office.

Admission without a ticket is not possible due to limited capacities.

Guests with disabilities (degree of disability of 70) can purchase a reduced ticket.

If a B is noted on the disabled person’s ID, an accompanying person receives free admission. To purchase a corresponding ticket, select availability = 2 in the online store and then click on the ticket people with disabilities and companion (count= 1).

Group reservations

Our public tours are exclusively for individual guests. For groups of 11 or more, we recommend an exclusive group tour, as we can then ideally tailor the tour to you and your group.

The group booking for a chocolate tour can be canceled or rebooked free of charge up to three business days before the start of the event. Short-term cancellations or non-appearance will be charged with 90% of the booking price.

All cancellation conditions can also be found in your individual offer.

Our group prices are already reduced prices. The individual price depends on the type of group (students, adults, guests with disabilities). Please contact Yana Goebel for your request at 040/ 41 91 230 0 or by e-mail at service@chocoversum.de.

Vouchers

Vouchers can be redeemed for tickets as well as in the CHOCOVERSUM Shop. They are neither tied to a specific date nor to a specific person and can be redeemed on any day. Please present the voucher at the CHOCOVERSUM ticket office or redeem it with the 13-digit voucher code in the online store to receive a ticket for your selected tour.

Yes, you can also redeem the voucher online. To do so, enter the 13-digit voucher code in the shopping cart of the online store to receive tickets for your selected event. Only one voucher can be redeemed per purchase transaction. If you would like to redeem more vouchers, you can divide your purchase process into several purchase processes.

If there is no event date on the voucher, it is still valid.

Please note that for technical reasons, vouchers with a purchase date before 07. March 2018 can currently only be redeemed on-site at the box office, as they do not contain a 13-digit voucher code.

If the vouchers are issued in the amount of an earlier valid admission price, the difference to the current admission prices must be paid up.
