Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Hamburg, Germany

October 27, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

Second only to Berlin in size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the biggest harbors in Europe. A stroll along its many waterways and canals illustrates why it has been called the "Venice of the North." Don't miss a trip to the local fish market (Fischmarkt), the Merchants District (marked by its imposing red-brick architecture), a fine dining experience along the river or a night out in the university quarter. And did we mention the Reeperbahn (red light district)? It's quite famous for its… red lights.

We stayed for 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there's lots of little details to see in the scenes and the airport with planes taking off and landing is impressive. The venue gets quieter later, it was a bit too full when we arrived at 2:30pm, and there are reduced price tickets near closing time. There's a cloakroom (50 cents) before the entrance, or lockers with returnable 1€ in the café. They ask you not to take rucksacks into the exhibition.

Dialog in the Dark

Dialog im Dunkeln is an experiential exhibition in complete darkness, which is not possible to explore on your own. Your blind host will guide you through the completely darkened exhibition in a small group of no more than 8 people. Equipped with a blind cane, you discover the world that we usually take for granted in a completely new way. You hear, feel and find your bearings in various non-visual situations of daily life; going for a walk in the park, crossing a busy city-street, going on a boat trip as well as visiting our Dark Bar. This is an experience which will stay alive in your memory long after your visit. Blind and visually-impaired guides are there to ensure your well-being at every step through this unfamiliar landscape. The last stop on our tour is at the Dark Bar, where you can talk about your experience over a drink with our guides, who are happy to answer all the questions which naturally arise during the tour.

Took the 90 minute tour which was absolutely worth it with my 3 kids (14, 16, 18) who also absolutely enjoyed it. Besides the experience to try to orient yourself in pitch darkness the tour provides insight into the obstacles of blind people. You can ask any questions and will receive valid answers. Next stop will be dialogue in silence.

St. Michael's Church

This huge 18th-century cathedral is Hamburg's best known architectural landmark.

Reviewed By Trac4 - Howell, United States

The Michel is a beautiful old and historic church. When we visited there was a Christmas market in the basement - pretty, but very crowded as well. The church itself is a beautiful place to just sit, reflect, and admire. Outside in front of the church was another Christmas market with booths and vendors, plus a Kemmsche Braune Kuchen bus which sold the famous cookies. I was thrilled to find it there. Definitely worth a visit to this beautiful church at any time of the year!

Kunsthalle Hamburg

This huge art museum specializes in European painting. The historic building itself is worth the price of admission.

Reviewed By 361siegfriedr

Not many galeries offer such a wealth of paintings, spanning over such an ark of art history. Both german, flamish and italien masters from the 15-hundreds to the 19th century can be observed, and an impressive collection of impressionism, expressionism and modern art is also worth spending time at.

This is a fantastic museum and provided us a very welcome and thorough introduction to Hamburg not long off the plane. I love museums that have life-size set ups of old pubs, shops, and other rooms to immerse you in the experience and this museum has so many. Well worth the entry fee and you could spend a good few hours here.
