Dark chapters of the city's history, packed into 11 live shows, 2 ride attractions, 600 years of dark history, and plenty of thrills. The Dungeon is an experience for brave teenagers and adults—humorous, educational, and wonderfully creepy.

4. Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier– Shopping, Culture & Lifestyle

Opening in April 2025, Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier will be the new highlight in the heart of HafenCity – just a short walk from the PIERDREI Hotel.

A real cultural highlight is the Port des Lumières – an immersive art installation covering 1,700 m² that brings works by Gustav Klimt, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and other icons to life in impressive projections. Light, sound, and movement merge here to create an extraordinary art experience that will delight not only art lovers but also anyone looking for modern formats beyond the classic museum.

With Breuninger's new flagship store, unique international brands, and modern dining concepts, the Überseequartier is a place where Hamburg's future becomes tangible – stylish, lively, and right on the Elbe.
