U-Boot Museum Hamburg — Attraction in Hamburg

I've never been in a submarine before, so it was a good idea to at least get an idea of how it's really like, even if the said vehicle is almost half a century old at this point. It was my solo tour, so I could move around the submarine in any order I wanted, though I must warn: if you're claustrophobic, the sub is not for you. It's really, really narrow to the point only one person can really go through it, and each section is divided by a small circular hole that you need to vault to get to the next section, and so are the stairs too: high, narrow and short, so mind your steps. A small caveat though: there's no access to the main control room, presumably for security reasons; though it would've been much more fun if there was access to it, especially after hearing the sonar beep in the middle of the submarine. Other than that, old technology is a marvel to look at, as if one is at an old house or something with the plethora of thick steel pipes and muted paint reminiscent to 60s/70s homes. The whole tour took me around 45 minutes, but ideally, it shouldn't take more than 30 to get across it. And you are required to buy a ticket to see it, however it's worth checking it out at least once,...

Very nice sightseeing, very tight spaces, a history lesson in 90 meters. Good luck visiting the Submarine with a child near you. Photo taking? A joke. If you want to go without a guide, please be sure you go fast inside because the women which are guides are VERY RUDE if they are in the same room and you were slow in taking photos alone or with your child. The infos they are telling are limited, you can read more on Wikipedia or Google in 5 minutes, rather than paying extra for only German info (no English, sadly). You cannot go to Commanding office, just under in the torpedo room, engines and other facilities. I wanted to make photos in torpedo room (firat room you are seeing) and i was told to go away because i didn't pay for their history lesson. I then asked about torpedoes, how they worked, how much power they had, how many kilotons of explosives they had, how many torpedoes in a minute can they fire, of course I said I will pay for the infos. No answer and I was told to get away, and no photos or staying there as long as they are in the same room My advice, do not pay extra, go alone with Wikipedia open and go fast because you will not be allowed in the same place with the...

Been to plenty of Museum ships and this experience was lazy and bad value. I can only rate based on my experience. I did not get a tour (I believe they don't do them mid week anyway) and was the first on board for the day, being there at opening time of 9am so, unlike some other people who have reviewed I was lucky to not have anyone behind me which I feel very lucky for having avoided. It's 9 Euros and, going slowly, took me just 30 mins to go through. For context, on the other side of the city is the maritime museum, which includes loads of U-boat info among hundreds of other sections and is easily a 4 hour or more affair which costs 15 Euros. There is next to no info, in English, German or Russian, to the point that I didn't even realise the sub was built by Russia until I got home and googled it! Interesting sections of the boat are also closed off, notably the command centre. Gift shop is well appointed, but the one staff member on seemed as though she would rather I wasn't there. I'd only recommend if you are in the area and you are a huge...
