1. Arriving at the Speicherstadt

Even the walk to “Dialog im Dunkeln” is part of the Hamburg experience: Stroll through the historic Speicherstadt with its brick buildings, canals, and bridges—right into one of the city’s most extraordinary experiences.

1. Leave Everything That Glows Behind

Store your bags and all glowing items in our free lockers. Put away your cell phone, put away your smartwatch, turn off the light. The excitement builds.

1. Your Guide Through the Darkness

You can still see in the “darkness lock.” Here you’ll receive your white cane—you’ll need it in a moment.

1. Step by step into the dark

With every step, more light fades away until you’re standing in complete darkness. Here, your guide welcomes you and takes the lead.

1. A new world opens up

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

1. Experience Room 1 – What Do You Perceive?

A familiar soundscape surrounds you. Where are you? Listen more closely, feel the floor, and pay attention to smells. Suddenly, things you’d normally hardly notice become important.

1. Experience Room 2 – Discovering with Your Hands

Now your sense of touch takes center stage. Feel your way along the walls and discover objects at different heights. If you’re brave enough, venture right into the middle.

1. Experience Room 3 – A Moment to Remember

A door opens, and suddenly there’s a flurry of activity. Now you’ll need your white cane, your ears, and a little courage. What awaits you here will stay with many for a long time.

1. Harbor Special – Hamburg without water? Unthinkable!

Only on Saturdays and Sundays as part of the Harbor Special Tour.

Experience a harbor tour like nowhere else: without panoramic views—and yet still spectacular.

1. The Dark Bar

The final stop is the Dark Bar. Order drinks and snacks and find out how well paying without seeing works—preferably with some cash. Afterward, you can chat with your guide and ask any questions that came up during the tour.

1. Back into the Light

Slowly, the light returns. In a dimly lit room, your eyes readjust to the brightness.

1. Discover Even More

More interactive and playful stations await you in the foyer. Take some time to explore—they’re part of the experience.

1. Take Home a Souvenir

If you’d like, you can browse our shop and pick up a small souvenir.

1. Ready for the next shift in perspective?

Right above, “Dialog im Stillen” awaits. This time, it’s not sight but hearing that plays the special role.

1. The Perfect Finale in the Speicherstadt

Just a few meters to the right of the Dialoghaus, on the bridge in front of the historic moated castle, lies one of the most beautiful photo spots in the Speicherstadt. It’s perfect for a souvenir photo of a visit you’re guaranteed never to forget.
