Why go
The building's sharp contrast is easiest to read from the Plaza: brick warehouse below, glass concert halls above, and the Elbe stretching around both. The broad viewing path looks toward docks, water and the city. This is a short architecture and outlook stop, with entry arrangements worth checking before you set out.
What to look for
- The Plaza encircles the building above the harbour
- Glass waves rise above the old warehouse base
Useful to know
