Designed by Swiss duo Herzog & de Meuron, it is rated among the world's finest concert halls for acoustics. The free Plaza viewing deck on the 8th floor offers 360-degree views of the harbour and city, and the escalator ride up is an experience in itself. Plaza free (online timed-entry booking recommended). Concert tickets about EUR 15-200. 10-minute walk from U-Bahn Überseequartier (Line 4).
Opening Hours
Plaza: 10:00-00:00 (open daily); performance times vary by program.
