historicalareaof Gängeviertel.
Artists,left-wingactivistsand
supportersdecidedto occupy
theoldhousesherewhenthey
were due to be demolished and
the result is a special place, full of
art. If you have time, pop into the
vegan café, Nasch.
Place to see by night
For a relaxed evening with wine,
I recommend Weinladen, which
feels like visiting friends.

Best view
You get a great 360-degree view
of the city from the platform of
our concert hall building,
Elbphilharmonie.
elbphilharmonie.de/en/
One thing you must see
The historic Elbe underwater
tunnel connects the two sides of
the city. Coming up on the other
side after a 20-minute walk gives
a new perspective on the city.
