Hamburg, your pearls

This family's experience:

Activities: We went to the Plaza of the Elbphilharmonie. The author mentioned the 'Tube', the incredibly long escalator. "Fährt man mit der Rolltreppe nach oben, dann fährt man direkt auf ein riesiges Fenster zu, das zum Hafen zeigt." We went down, as the line was too long to go up

Highlights: The 'Tube' "ringt ihm ein 'Oha!' ab". We enjoyed the wide curved stairs and the balcony. The views were impressive. We didn't do a tour, but you can learn more about the architecture on a tour ✨
