Very old house/workshop in the old town, transferred into a soap museum! You get a quick tour with an informative guide. You can buy soaps at the end of your tour too if you like.

This is the first time I was intrigued by soap 😂 and I totally loved it. There was a guide to take you through the process of soap making and how it’s done. This museum is well kept and really clean for an old place with deep history. It also has a mini cafe for tea or coffee and a shop where you can get souvenirs.
