The Elbian Philharmonic (in German - "Elbphilharmonie") is the hallmark of Hamburg. This is one of the first places that tourists who come to this beautiful city for a few days tend to visit. This unusual futuristic-looking building is not only an architectural landmark, it is also an active philharmonic society that gives more than a hundred concerts a year. The building of the Elbe Philharmonic has a large panoramic observation deck with a wonderful view of the Elbe, the port of Hamburg and the central embankment.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Speicherstad area is one of the most famous and popular tourist areas in Hamburg. Due to the fact that the whole area is permeated with a network of river channels, along which small tourist spoons go, this part of the city resembles Venice. A large number of bridges, majestic red brick buildings standing by the river, vintage stairs - all this causes a great stir among tourists. This area is a great place for leisurely walks, during which you can take a huge number of beautiful pictures.
