One of Europe's most extraordinary technology museums, housing a full-size Boeing 747 you can walk through, a Cold War submarine, and the Buran Soviet space shuttle. An unmissable, larger-than-life spectacle just a short stroll from the cruise dock.
What to expect
A pleasant 20-minute walk from the dock brings you to a campus of colossal machines displayed both indoors and outdoors. Highlights include the Antonov An-22 cargo aircraft, the Wilhelm Bauer submarine, historic racing cars, and the IMAX Dome Theatre with immersive space films. The Boeing 747 is parked atop the main hall — you climb aboard via a walkway and explore the full fuselage. Budget at least 3 hours; obsessives routinely spend a full day.
Good to know
Doors open at 09:00; arriving early beats any coach groups. Buy tickets at the gate or online via the museum's official website. The IMAX Dome runs on a set schedule — check show times when booking. The museum is a 20-minute flat walk from the pier; taxis are also available. Confirm all-aboard before planning your return — allow 30 minutes buffer.
