The Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan is a delightful attraction that offers a whimsical experience with its intricate marzipan dioramas. Visitors can embark on an educational journey through the history of chocolate, from ancient times to modern-day confections, while admiring impressive chocolate sculptures depicting various figures. The museum also provides insight into the process of crafting chocolate and marzipan, complete with adorable displays.
Great fun for our little ones from 3-10 years, they had so much fun admiring all the chocolate exhibits, then making their own creations using marzipan and sprinkles. The smell of cocoa, especially by the train, is amazing. There is a fairytale underground. One of them is very dark and could be quite scary for the very young ones. ….Still having fun at home with the marzipan multi color kits, making food for dollies and such.

I did not go to the museum, because the ticket is expensive - 280 czk. But I bought a delicious chocolate bar here. Truly great quality Bean to Bar chocolate
M — Google review
This is the type of place that could be so bad that it was good, but the smell inside just makes it awful. though it does have some highlights like Mr. Bean and his car made out of chocolate, and who can forget Check Republics largest interactive chocolate train. The barbies with dresses made out of a combination of chocklate and fabric, the rosedress (also combo), the small devils in the basement who just drink all day instead of processing the chocolate. Basically, the type of exibit that may scarare your kids enough to give them nightmares... help you take a break from chocolate (who am I kidding, just go get a new chocolatebar, and you'll be fine). But if you are looking for a place to scare your kids off chocolate, this is the place for you! Or if you are in the erea and curious about just how bad this can be and have time to spare, I'd say go for it. It's deffenetly a memorable place ✨️

Disclaimer: Do not visit this museum! We were in Tabor and the museum was around the corner from our apartment so we wanted to give it a try. Compared to the other very reasonable priced museums in town, the ticket is way too expensive (250 crowns per adult, that’s around 10€). Most of the exhibited chocolate models are old and there are tons of food moths flying around. The smell in some rooms is disgusting which is weird for a museum about chocolate and marzipan. We were totally disappointed as we did not learn anything about chocolate or marzipan making. The only slightly interesting thing was the so called „Fairy Cellar“ which reminded us of the museum of the Husseits in the center of town. To be honest I wouldn’t even go here if it was free, what a waste of time and money.
Celina B — Google review
A neat little museum dedicated to chocolate and marzipan. There's plenty of information (much of it in English as well as Czech) about the history and production of our favourite sweet treat. All the best displays are actually made of marzipan; there's some impressive models (including the town square and the castle) made in exquisite detail. OK, so the fairy tale cellar is a bit odd (maybe one for the kids!), and it's a little on the expensive side, but if you're in Tábor it's worth a look. Tip: Try the hot chocolate. It's pure melted chocolate (variety of types to choose from), served in espresso cups. You don't need more than that!
Robin W — Google review
If you have 270 czk , don't spend it here go to coffee budik in front. Strange creatures are making strange noises in the basement. Just think, it was such a worthless activity that even paying 40 CZK would have been heartbreaking. Seven of us visited. We could have probably bought two acres of cocoa tree land with the entrance fee in total we gave.

Visiting the chocolate museum was such a great experience! It has exhibits and activities for younger children and for adults. There's also a workshop where we could make our own chocolate and marzipan creations.

The Hussite Museum in Tabor is a must-visit for those interested in the city's rich history tied to the Hussite religious movement. Founded by Protestant radicals known as Taborites in 1420, the museum offers insights into this significant period of Czech history. Visitors can explore the underground cellars around the main square, where a guided tour provides a glimpse into their historical use and significance.
Very interesting and illustrative museum. Also suitable for children as there is a lot to touch and experience for yourself. Unfortunately, not everything is in English. The guided tour through the catacombs was also only in Czech with accompanying material to read in many languages. But the staff make a lot of effort to overcome any language barriers and the whole museum conveys Czech national pride and the importance of the Hussites for the Czech Image today.

Interesting tour of underground tunnels around the central square of Tábor. Unfortunately there is only a card provided in all other languages (English, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, etc) and many of the details of the tour are lost because they are not described on the cards.

Worth a look, very good interesting Tabor city, Reformation & Hussite history. Most of the exhibits are in Czech. The tunnel tour is worth a look. Request an English tour and you might be lucky to get an English speaker. Otherwise they supply an information sheet in English. There are also lockable wine vats to place bags or backpacks in as well.
Peter — Google review
A good museum showing the history the Hussites and Tabor. There is a surprising amount in this museum and if you have an interest in the history of the Hussites, this is the place for you. There are quite detailed exhibits showing much of the history. Under the museum lies a series of tunnels that can be travelled through with a guide. However it is worth noting that the guide spoke only Czech and for someone who is not a Czech speaker, the tunnels might be less interesting, although still quite good.
David D — Google review
I thought it was wonderful. I was the only one on the tour, possibly because I came on a Wednesday morning in January when it was snowing. The underground tour is extensive, and I learned a lot about how people lived hundreds of years ago. On ground level, there is a museum dedicated to two Czech heroes: Jan Hus and Jan Ziska. You should learn about them.

Nestled in the picturesque region of Tabor, Klokoty is a captivating destination that beckons pilgrims and travelers alike. The highlight here is undoubtedly the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, an exquisite baroque complex dating back to the 1700s. Visitors are drawn not only by its stunning architecture but also by its revered altar painting of the Virgin Mary of Klokot.

Jordán Reservoir, the oldest in Central Europe, offers a charming and beautiful setting for leisurely walks and outdoor activities. Visitors can take a stroll around the reservoir, enjoying the picturesque views and clear waters. The area is also ideal for families with children, offering opportunities for relaxation and purposeful visits. In addition to walking, visitors can swim in the reservoir or simply admire its beauty from various vantage points.

(Translated by Google) During the day, you can take a very nice walk around the entire reservoir. There is also the possibility of swimming, as the Jordán was recently drained and cleaned. The view is beautiful from almost every turn and suitable for hiking all day. I recommend climbing above the stairs at the Shooting Range for the best view of the entire reservoir. (Original) Přes den se zde dá udělat velmi pěkná procházka kolem celé nádrže. Je zde i možnost koupání, jelikož byl Jordán nedávno vypuštěn a vyčištěn. Výhled je snad z každé zatáčky hezký a na pěší túru celodenně vhodný. Doporučuji vylézt nad schody u Střelnice pro nejlepší výhled na celou nádrž.

(Translated by Google) The water reservoir in Tábor with an area of ​​over 50 hectares was created in 1492 by damming the Košín Stream and is the oldest valley dam reservoir in Central Europe. It was built as a reservoir of drinking water for the city, today it is also widely used for recreation. Originally, the Tábor family also wanted to breed fish in Jordan, but the excessive dimensions of the reservoir did not provide good conditions for this purpose (today it is mainly used only for sports fishermen). The greatest depth is 12.5 meters. The bulk dam is 20 m high and 284 m long, holding about 3 million cubic meters of water.

Restaurace Škochův dům is an excellent Czech eatery serving traditional dishes that truly embody the essence of Czech cuisine. The staff members are amiable, efficient, and provide prompt service. Moreover, the food's quality is exceptional, meeting all expectations associated with Czech gastronomy. Situated in a convenient location at the central square, this restaurant offers reasonably priced meals compared to other establishments in the area.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the service was attentive, and the food was excellent. I especially appreciated that it’s dog-friendly, and the noise level was pleasantly quiet, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. Highly recommended!

Very nice Czech restaurant for typical Czech food. The service is friendly good and quick. The quality of the food is also very good. Exactly what you expect from the Czech kitchen. This place is on the central square, but the prices are low for this locality. The toilets could be cleaner. When you are hungry and want good local food for an honest price I really recommend this place.

Overpriced food that normally costs 60-70% of the price. You can pay and enjoy this tourist trap if u wanns enjoy sitting at the main square at a fancy house. Mostly meat of course. Spaghetti olio e peperoncino for about 250czk are a joke. Tabor deserves better dining options than this.

Food ranged from "decent" to "pretty good for a tourist trap." Service isn't as good. This place won't serve voda točená (tap water) despite it being on the menu. Look, don't put it on the menu if you don't want people ordering it. Asked three times and was finally delivered a bottle at three times the price. This place also charges US cards in Dollars at an unfavorable exchange rate instead of local Czech Koruna despite my friend's insistence to be charged in local currency. One final warning: started playing non-stop death metal Saturday night at 9pm.

Nestled in the heart of Tabor's central square, Restaurace Beseda is a delightful culinary gem that beautifully marries traditional Czech cuisine with innovative twists. As I explored the area, I was drawn to its inviting atmosphere and impressive menu. One standout dish was a praline of blue cheese paired with marinated vegetables and cranberries—an absolute treat for the taste buds! The presentation was equally stunning, making it a feast for both the eyes and palate.
My niece and I like to visit places with interesting history, so when we chose Tabor, I researched the restaurants and their menus as well as top attractions. One item on the menu I was dying to try, was “a praline of blue cheese, accompanied by marinated vegetables, cranberries, and a cheese wafer. I was not disappointed, it was absolutely delicious, with incredible presentation. Our main course consisted of traditional, very tasty and creamy dill sauce, tender boiled beef neck, and dumplings – a huge portion I could not possibly finish. The other was a succulent sliced roast beef on arugula pesto, with tasty horseradish mayo, cherry tomatoes, and home made bread. The house wine was delicious, service impeccable by a young waiter, who unfortunately went on a break when we decided to leave – we wanted to thank him personally. Even though the ambience is a little too open for me, the location, menu, prices, and service made me want to come back next time I am visiting.

Nestled in the heart of a historic city, U Dvou Koček is a charming restaurant that boasts a unique medieval and knight-themed decor.

Kafe Bar Havana offers satisfactory cuisine and pleasant customer service. While it may be slightly more expensive than the average Czech eatery, it provides a higher level of quality that is worth indulging in during a vacation. It is particularly recommended for family dining experiences. The only minor drawback is the wait time, even though the restaurant was not crowded. On a positive note, the burgers are of excellent quality and there were no complaints about them.
Been here a couple of times a few years ago and visited Tabor city again this week. The Kafe Bar Havana still serves delicious food without being too fancy a restaurant. I enjoy this place! Pork in tortilla rolls were surprisingly tasty as well were the steak.
