Hamburg Port

Elbphilharmonie
The iconic glass-topped concert hall and the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district are most prominent on this side.
The right side is the 'money side' for the approach into Hamburg. If the wind is from the north (Runway 33), you will fly directly over the city center, offering a world-class view of the harbor. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be bright on this side when flying north, so have your window shade ready.
