Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

The Elbphilharmonie is the new landmark of the metropolis on the waterfront. With the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg forges its path as a port city and a city of music, once again demonstrating that the city is shaping its future based on contrast. The spectacular building contains three concert halls with a diverse music programme, a comprehensive music education programme, a hotel, as well as the Plaza — a public viewing platform at a height of 37 metres that offers an amazing view of the city. If you are a modern architecture nerd, you simply must take the extremely popular guided tour that tells you all about the building's construction and history.

Old Elbe Tunnel

When the Old Elbe Tunnel, also called St Pauli Elbe Tunnel, was opened in 1911, it was a technical sensation. Today, it is a nostalgic and lovingly tended piece of Hamburg history. The distinctive, square, domed structure on the St Pauli Landungsbrücken houses the machinery and the four lifts, which have transported people and vehicles at a depth of nearly 24 metres for over 100 years. After 426.5 metres beneath the Elbe and through the two tiled tunnels with a diameter of 6 metres, you return to daylight in Steinwerder and can enjoy a wonderful view over the harbour.

Bucerius Kunst Forum

Located in the heart of Hamburg next to the Town Hall, the Bucerius Kunst Forum exhibits art from ancient to modern times in four rotating exhibitions each year. A visit is an absolute must for art lovers. The concept of the Kunst Forum is based on reinventing the familiar to allow art lovers and novices alike to discover new interrelationships. Since its foundation in 2002, the Bucerius Kunst Forum has become one of the leading exhibition houses in northern Germany. A unique, modern exhibition space was created in the historic building of the former Reichsbank.
