Getting started

Begin by meeting your German- or English-speaking guide at the designated starting point indicated on your voucher. Depending on the option you select, you may first enjoy French rolls and coffee.

What to expect

Elbphilharmonie

Your visit focuses on the Elbphilharmonie building itself, from its base to the public plaza, with commentary on both its exterior and interior architecture.

Features

  • Spend around 1 hour on a guided tour of the Elbphilharmonie, including detailed exterior and interior tour commentary that explains the building's design and its role in Hamburg.

  • Access the Elbphilharmonie Plaza, where you can take in the building's unique structure and, if you select the German-guided tour from the meeting point option, stay on the plaza for an unlimited time after the guided part ends.

  • Benefit from a German- or English-speaking guide, as per the option you select, with some German-guided tours led by a guide certified by the Elbphilharmonie.

  • Use skip-the-line access to the plaza if you book one of the variants that includes priority entry, so you can head straight up without waiting in the regular line.

  • Select a variant that includes a ride on the Tube to the Elbphilharmonie Plaza to experience the building's long escalator and vertical access as part of the tour.

  • Opt for French rolls and coffee with the premium breakfast options to start your tour with a light snack and hot drink before focusing on the architecture.
