How long does the visit take?
About 2 hours for the museum, which has more than 30 rooms over five floors. The submarine takes about 20 minutes. If you add the Aquarium in the same day, start with the one that opens first and keep an eye on the closing times.
Is the submarine open at the same hours as the museum?
The submarine is part of the museum ticket, so you visit it during the museum hours. We cannot confirm whether it has reduced hours on some days, so plan it early in your visit.
Who should skip the submarine?
Children under 4 cannot go in. The visit is not suitable if you have trouble walking, suffer from claustrophobia or wear thin heels. You go down the stern ladder and come out from the bow ladder, and you wear a helmet that you pick up at the ticket office. Wear comfortable shoes.
