Hamburg: Dialogue in the Dark Guided Tour｜Germany

1. Arriving in Speicherstadt

Even the way to Dialog im Dunkeln is part of the Hamburg experience: Stroll through the historic Speicherstadt with its brick buildings, canals, and bridges – right into the heart of one of the city's most extraordinary experiences.

2. Everything that glows stays outside

Store bags and all luminous items in our free lockers. Put away your cell phone, put away your smartwatch, turn off the light. The tension rises.

3. Your guide for the darkness

You can still see in the dark lock. Here you will receive your long stick – you will need it in a moment.

4. Step by step into the dark

With each step, more light disappears until you are standing in complete darkness. Here, your guide will greet you and take over the guided tour.

5. A new world opens up

Sight no longer matters now. Hearing, touch and smell take over. Your journey begins together with your guide.

6. Experience space 1 – What do you perceive?

A familiar soundscape surrounds you. Where are you? Listen more closely, feel the ground, and pay attention to smells. Suddenly, things that you hardly notice otherwise become important.

7. Experience Space 2 – Discover with your hands

Now your sense of touch plays the starring role. Feel your way along the walls and discover objects at different heights. If you feel brave, venture right into the middle.

8. Experience Space 3 – A moment that lasts

A door opens, and suddenly there is a lot of activity. Now you need a long stick, ears, and a little courage. What awaits here will be remembered by many for a long time.

9. Harbor Special – Hamburg without water? Unthinkable!

Only on Saturdays and Sundays with the Harbor Special Tour.

Experience a harbor boat tour like nowhere else: without panorama and views – and yet spectacular.

10. The Dunkelbar

The last stop is the Dunkelbar. Order drinks and snacks and find out how well paying without seeing works – preferably with some cash. Afterwards, you can talk to your guide and ask any questions that came up during the tour.

11. Back into the light

The light slowly returns. In a dimly lit room, your eyes will readjust to the brightness.

12. Discover even more

More interactive and playful stations await you in the foyer. Take some time – they are part of the experience.

13. Take a souvenir with you

If you like, you can still browse our shop and take a small souvenir with you.

14. Ready for the next change of perspective?

Dialogue in the Dark awaits you directly above. This time, it's not seeing but hearing that plays the special role.

15. The perfect ending in Speicherstadt

Just a few meters to the right of the Dialoghaus, one of the most beautiful photo spots in the Speicherstadt awaits on the bridge in front of the historic moated castle. Perfect for a souvenir photo of a visit you're guaranteed not to forget.
