The Lion King

For 25 years, "The Lion King" has been as much a part of Hamburg as harbour chatter and fish sandwiches. It’s high time to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Sacred Land and experience the award-winning musical—with its breathtaking music and impressive choreography—right on the banks of the Elbe.

Just a stone’s throw away? The Hotel Hafen Hamburg—your perfect place to stay in an exclusive location right across from the Stage Theatre im Hafen Hamburg.

Golden Port lights up Hamburg

To mark the 25th anniversary of “The Lion King” in Hamburg, the harbour will become the setting for a spectacular light installation.

From September 24 to October 4, 2026, for the first time ever, you’ll have the chance to admire the “Golden Port”—a unique light art installation by renowned artist Michael Batz, in which not only the ships and the musical theatre at the harbour but also the Hotel Hafen Hamburg will be bathed in golden light.

  • Three drinks on the bar counter of the Port Restaurant.

    Our “Golden Port” Cocktail-Special

    It’s time to raise a glass to 25 years of “The Lion King” in Hamburg!

    For a limited time only – our “The Lion King” cocktails:

    Golden Lion (refreshing | tangy | a hint of vanilla | gold dust on top)
