Highlights

This 1-hour Elbphilharmonie Plaza tour unveils the concert hall's history and offers beautiful city views from the Plaza with skip-the-line access.
Your guide spills the tea on why it was so expensive and how it became a Hamburg icon. Plus, ride the world's longest curved escalator.
Take a 1-hour harbor cruise past the Speicherstadt warehouse district and modern HafenCity, on a passenger ship or a barge.
As you sail past, see the massive container terminals that keep Hamburg humming and the red-brick warehouses lining the canals.
Did you know? The Elbphilharmonie's curved glass facade is designed to deflect birds, preventing mid-air collisions with the concert hall's windows.

The ride itself was okay - the speaker was not always easy to understand - finding the departure point was time-consuming, cumbersome - a cheek

The gentleman/guide did everything right, was very friendly, but we thought we were seeing the hall from the inside, were very sad that this was not included

The tour guide was great. Very informative and upbeat. Ticketing experience was fine. Ig was disappointing that we couldn't see the interior of the concert hall. It should have been made more clear in the description of the tour

There could have been a bit more narrative. The tour was meant to be a bit of fun, of course, but a little more information would have been nice.

Your experience

Experience two of Hamburg's must-visit attractions, the Elbphilharmonie and the Hamburg Harbour, while saving time and money.

Elbphilharmonie Plaza Guided Tour

Your exploration begins at Baumwall subway station where you'll meet your guide. As you approach the Elbphilharmonie, look at its glass facade, resembling a giant wave about to crash onto the shore. Together, you'll delve into the Elbphilharmonie's story, a modern marvel nicknamed the "Elphi" by locals. Skip-the-line access whisks you past the crowds, and soon you'll be gliding up the world's longest curved escalator, offering a preview of the harbor panorama. Your guide will share details about the building's design and construction challenges, including the special vineyard-shaped acoustic features in the concert hall.

Hamburg Harbor Cruise

Set sail on a 1-hour cruise through the historic Hamburg harbor, the largest port in Germany. Choose between a comfortable passenger ship or a traditional barge. Both options offer excellent vantage points as you sail past the landmarks. You'll witness the scale of container terminals, a testament to Hamburg's role as a global trade hub. The red-brick warehouses lining the Speicherstadt canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer a glimpse into Hamburg's maritime history. See the Cap San Diego, a cargo ship that's now a museum. Your skipper's live commentary in German, with multilingual audio guides available, will bring the harbor's past and present-day operations to life.

Additional information

Elbphilharmonie Plaza Guided Tour

Appointments are confirmed according to the Elbphilharmonie and its limited Plaza ticket contingent for guided tours. If no more Plaza tickets are issued, a suitable alternative date is booked as soon as possible. In exceptional cases, the tour guide may then report on the Elbphilharmonie from outside.
You can still go to the plaza free of charge after the official tour if the tour should only take place from outside.
In rare, special cases (mainly for security reasons) the Elbphilharmonie reserves the right not to allow access to the Plaza. In this case, the partial amount will be refunded.
