Hamburg Dungeon

Hamburg Dungeon is an immersive attraction that brings 600 years of the city’s darkest history to life through live performances, theatrical storytelling, and dramatic special effects. Located in the Speicherstadt area, it blends history and entertainment into a thrilling experience designed to surprise, entertain, and occasionally scare.

This venue is also included in select MegaPass options, making it easy to combine with other top attractions in Hamburg.

The Hamburg Dungeon draws inspiration from real historical events, legends, and characters from the city’s past, including pirates, plague outbreaks, witch trials, and medieval justice. These stories are reimagined as theatrical scenes that immerse visitors in Hamburg’s most dramatic centuries.

Hamburg Dungeon offers a unique way to learn history through entertainment rather than traditional exhibitions. It is ideal for visitors who enjoy interactive experiences, live actors, and immersive storytelling with a thrilling edge.

Tickets typically include access to all live shows, rides, and performances within the Dungeon. Entry is timed, and visitors move through the experience as part of a guided group led by professional actors.

Ticket prices vary depending on demand and season. Reduced rates may be available for children or families. Booking in advance is recommended, as time slots can sell out quickly during peak travel periods.

Hamburg Dungeon is usually open daily, with operating hours varying by season. Evening openings and extended hours may be available during weekends or holidays.

The attraction is located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt district and is easily reached by public transport. Nearby U-Bahn stations and bus routes provide convenient access, and it is within walking distance of other waterfront attractions.
