82 meters long and 30 meters high, the Elbphilharmonie Tube is Europe’s longest curved escalator. The journey to the Plaza on the futuristic escalator takes around two and a half minutes. A great opportunity for a chat with celebrities visiting the Hanseatic city, with stars from the Grand Hall or with local Hamburg luminaries – from Jonas Kaufmann and Fatih Akin to Megaloh and Lena Meyer-Landrut.
