Elbphilharmonie's public viewing platform among Europe's most popular attractions

More than 25 million people have visited the Elbphilharmonie's Plaza since the concert hall opened in 2017. More than 3 million people visit the public viewing platform annually to enjoy views of the Elbe River, port and city. The Elbphilharmonie Plaza in HafenCity is thus one of the "most popular attractions in Europe".

Panoramic view for people from all over the world

"The vibrant plaza welcomes people from all over the world, inviting them to linger and sparking interest in the events held in the concert halls," said Christoph Lieben-Seutter, General Director of the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle Hamburg. Visitors can walk around the entire concert hall and enjoy panoramic views from the viewing platform, which is at an altitude of 37 metres. They arrive there via the "Tube", the longest curved escalator in Western Europe. The plaza is accessible daily from 10 a.m. to midnight. Tickets can be booked online or on site for €3.
