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.
