Elbphilharmonie Guided Tour Itinerary

Meet outside the Elbphilharmonie for a one-hour guided tour of this landmark with an English-speaking guide. You will learn about the building and its square, re-inaugurated in 2017, which sits on a former warehouse site used until 1900 to store tobacco, tea, and cocoa beans. Discover why this location was selected for the Elbphilharmonie.

The façade features wave-like elements and a glass top. Inside, you will visit the central square accessible by the largest escalator in Europe.

During the plaza tour, admire the contrast between the modern glass structure and historic loading docks. Learn about the history of the building and the ideal acoustics of its concert halls.

Before concluding, ascend to the observation deck, which is 37 meters high, for panoramic views of Hamburg. The terrace also includes several restaurants offering appetizers and drinks (not included in the tour).
