Viba Nougat-Welt

Welcome to a sweet world of nougat praliné and chocolate.

Some call it praliné, some call it gianduja – Germans call it “Nougat”!

Want to know what German “Nougat“ tastes like?

… Where it comes from and what’s the difference between Nougat and chocolate?

Viba, Germany’s Nougat brand no. 1, will give you the answers in their Viba Nougat World in Schmalkalden/Thuringia!

Want to be hands on? See what it’s like to be a real Viba Confectioner and book the full nougat & chocolate immersion in one of our workshops. Whether you come alone, with your family and friends, or with colleagues: you will never forget this sweet experience!

Afterwards or in between, you may want to try some of the tasty creations of our restaurant. Be surprised by a large variety of sweet or savoury meals, snacks or desserts – many of them refined with nougat, of course. Whilst you relax on our terrace, your kids will love to play on our big playground.

If you want to take some sweet memories home with you, our flagship store will offer a wide range of souvenirs and freshly made nougat or chocolate for any occasion.
