Traveler reviews
Sidónio Sousa
★★★★★4 months agoWe just saw it from outside as we didn't have any time left in Hamburg but it's still worth to stop and admire since it's located in he most important promenade of the city.

★★★★★4 years agoIf you have an hour to kill, this is a great exhibition that takes you on a metaphorical journey onboard this historic boat. You can walk around the boat and access its various compartments and rooms, getting a glimpse of how life on the ship had been from the late 1890s till the 1950s. It’s a nicely done exhibition - recommended.
