An artery, that is how the Elbe River may be described. Connecting the heart of Hamburg with the world. The river is a great place for Hamburgers to gather around and enjoy the view.
In the shadow of the Elphi you have a second, less spectacular, architectural show piece. The Niederhafen promenade designed by Zaza Hadid Architects. It winds along the river for about 625 mtr. and has a triple functionality. Protect the city against future flooding, a promenade for pedestrians and an ‘amphitheatre style’ stair to watch one of the greatest free shows on earth. Sunset.
