Turin: The Most Chocolatey Town In The World?

You may have heard of Paris's Museum Pass, which allows you to access various museums and monuments in the city. And you're probably aware of the "Metropass," a monthly subway fare card which exists in many places around the world. But do you know about Turin, Italy's ChocoPass?

This very special 3-day pass entitles the purchaser to enjoy hot chocolate, chocolate cake, gelato, cookies, chocolate-hazelnut candies and pralines at 38 sweets shops around Turin. Best of all, the pass costs only 15 euros! Among the participants are Guido Gobino (via LaGrange 1, +39 011 566 07 07), a chocolatier who makes some of the finest chocolate-hazelnut confections in the world, and the famous cafe Al Bicerin (Piazza della Consolata 5, +39 011 43 69 325), which serves a hot drink consisting of three distinct layers of dark chocolate, coffee, and steamed milk. You can also order a cake made with the same ingredients... and don't forget to ask for whipped cream!
