Berlin Dungeon

The Berlin Dungeon is a thrilling, immersive attraction located in the city's Mitte district, near the River Spree. It brings to life 800 years of Berlin's macabre history through live performances, special effects, and two rides. Visitors are guided through themed chambers by actor-guides, experiencing stories of the plague, the Inquisition, and notorious figures like the 'Berlin Executioner.' The attraction is designed to be both educational and frightening, with jump scares and dark humor. It's part of the global Dungeon franchise but tailored specifically to Berlin's past. The experience lasts about 70 minutes and includes a boat ride through a dark tunnel and a free-fall drop ride. It's popular with tourists seeking a unique, spooky outing.

A bit of history

The Berlin Dungeon opened in 2004 in the historic cellar vaults of the 'Alte Münze' building. It draws on real historical events, such as the 1576 execution of the 'Werewolf of Berlin' and the 17th-century plague outbreaks.
