Step by Step

Experience a unique experience at the Elbphilharmonie, the architectural jewel that has transformed Hamburg's skyline. On this guided tour of Elphi Square, you will enter the panoramic platform between the former harbour warehouse and the futuristic glass structure that today houses one of the world's most acoustically impressive concert halls.

During the visit, your guide will take you up the spectacular curved escalator to the square, a place where the industrial architecture of the past merges with contemporary design. From there, you will enjoy exceptional views of the harbour, the Speicherstadt canals, the modern HafenCity and the rooftops of the city.

Throughout the tour, you will learn the most interesting stories about the Elbphilharmonie: its long and complex construction process, its design inspired by the waves of the river Elbe, and the reasons why this building has become a cultural icon for Hamburgers and visitors from all over the world.

A must-see experience to understand Hamburg's urban transformation and enjoy a unique perspective of the city.

    On a rainy day the visit itself was charming: the glass roof of the building and the grey-grey view of the harbour gave the atmosphere. I would come back when it was sunny to see the contrast

    Recommended to combine with the rest of your HafenCity tour. The view from the square is memorable and the guide's explanation adds a lot of value.

    Very good experience, the meeting point was well indicated. Just before going up we watched an introductory video that helped to understand the building -- small but useful detail.

    A visit different from the rest of the typical city tour: modern architecture, design, water views... and the guide was able to motivate the group.
