Elbphilharmonie: Hamburg’s Newest Landmark

Blog 12 by Shin Shin Lung

 

The Elbphilharmonie ( www.elbphilharmonie.de ) is a must-see landmark in Hamburg. Affectionately called Elphi by Hamburgers, it is a beautiful concert hall in HafenCity. Elphi is one of the largest and acoustically advanced concert halls in the world. It is also the tallest inhabited building in Hamburg, standing at 108 metres.

 

It is free to visit Elphi and it is relatively easy. Just obtain a free ticket from the ticket counter on arrival.

This ticket enables you to enter and walk around the building.

The views are spectacular.

 

By the way, it is another story if you want to attend a concert there; I heard the waiting time is very long (up to a year for some concerts) as Germans from afar are interested in attending concerts here too.
