Elbphilharmonie - Plaza Sightseeing & Elphi Info Breakfast
The location of the Elbphilharmonie is historically significant in more ways than one and it's proximity to the Kaiserspeicher is no coincidence. The Kaiserspeicher served as one of the first warehouses on the Sandtorhafen docks and soon became a major center for international trade. It was and now will always remain a major landmark for Hamburg, providing exceptional views of the docks, harbor and the entire city. It is here that you get to meet your guide and settle in for the interactive big screen presentation.
Learn facts and interesting details about the building of the Elbphilharmonie as you munch on FranzbrötchenWhile you enjoy a steaming cup of coffee with a franzbrötchen, a rolled sugar pastry that is reminiscent of a cinnamon roll, your licensed guide will show you pictures taken throughout the construction and planning phases of the Elbphilharmonie. You will also learn incredible facts like the total cost of construction, how the architects managed to design the Outer Plaza in a way that no birds would ever fly in, and what 50-ton object hangs over the stage. You will also get to see photos of the Kaiserspeicher before construction started, as well as the different uses for the interior spaces of the Elbphilharmonie. Ask as many questions as you like during the session to make the most of this experience.
Saunter about the Elbphilharmonie Plaza and notice architectural details you might not have noticed beforeAt the end of the presentation, take a second escalator, this time to the 8th floor and former roof of the Kaiserspeicher, now the Plaza. Walk through the indoor and the outdoor plaza, admiring the architecture and the intricate detail that's been used in the construction. Look out at the city of Hamburg and take in the impressive views of the harbor and the docks, not to mention the Elbe. Stay in the plaza as long as you'd like after your tour is done and marvel at the space.
