What to expect

The one-hour Elbphilharmonie guided tour starts with an almost 500-meter-long shore walk along the edge of the harbor. You will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the harbor, then roam through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt, Hamburg's most significant monument landscape, and with the help of the longest arched escalator in the world, climb to the roof of the old Kaispeicher A, which forms the base of the Elbphilharmonie.

Here, on the concert hall's inner plaza, you will be introduced to the Elbphilharmonie's extraordinary architecture. You will not only unravel its lengthy construction and development history but also uncover the secrets of its acoustics. You will be familiarized with the diversity of the usage concept and given tips on the current concert program.

During the subsequent tour on the viewing platform, the outdoor plaza, you will enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. Hamburg's more than a thousand years of city history will come alive. The "gateway to the world", the port of Hamburg will be shown to you and opened up, from above, and you will discover HafenCity, the largest inner-city construction project in Europe, in all its spatial dimension.
