The three-hundred-and-sixty-degree belvedere of the Plaza

Here is the Plaza, the panoramic terrace of the Elbe Philharmonic Hall. Installed at thirty-seven metres of height, on the roof of the former warehouse that forms the base of the building, this platform open to the public allows to enjoy a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view over Hamburg. This sublime suspended walk, which goes around the building, puts the town at your feet: you take in at a single glance the port and its installations, the Elbe and its ships, the roofs of the Speicherstadt and the HafenCity, the spires of the great churches and the urban horizon. It is one of the finest viewpoints of Hamburg, and access to the Plaza is generally free, which makes it a very prized attraction of visitors as of inhabitants. Located at the junction of the undulating glass of the Philharmonic and the brick of the former warehouse, the terrace also offers a privileged viewpoint on the architecture of the building. An exceptional belvedere over the town and its port, the view from the terraces of the Philharmonic is a must-see stop of the discovery of Hamburg.
