Known for its dynamic architecture, urban atmosphere, and ship terminals, it is a must-visit for everyone going to Hamburg. It also has several eateries where visitors can relax and enjoy a warm meal.
Located in the far west of Hafen City, it is hard to believe that the Elbphilharmonie was once a quiet, unassuming brown-bricked warehouse. It was later transformed into a concert hall by architect extraordinaires Herzog and de Meuron. Touted to be the cultural headquarters of Hamburg, the Elbphilharmonie is also known for the breathtaking view of the harbor it offers.

From theaters and galleries to clubs and restaurants, this famous street located along the Elbe river is famous for its eclectic nightlife.

Here, you will find many flea markets, open-air concerts, and other interesting experiences.
