Dialogue in the Dark & Dialogue Lab: Guided Tour

Dialogue in the Dark & Dialogue Lab Guided Tour

Step into complete darkness at Dialoghaus Hamburg and discover how the world feels when sight is removed. This 60-minute guided experience takes you through specially designed exhibition spaces where you'll rely entirely on touch, hearing and smell to navigate. Your visually impaired guide leads small groups of up to eight people through everyday environments that challenge your perception and understanding of the world around you.

Located in Hamburg's historic Speicherstadt district, this thought-provoking tour goes beyond typical sightseeing. You'll work together with fellow participants to complete simple tasks and explore different spaces, all whilst learning to communicate and move without vision. The experience continues in the Dialogue Lab with interactive workshops about sensory perception, followed by drinks and discussion at the Dark Bar where you can reflect on what you've learned.
