My friends and I had so much fun exploring and filming our adventure through the Elbphilharmonie! I just wish we had the opportunity to visit the opera house portion but of course it was closed off for big events (which makes sense). I might drop two more vlogs from the trip later on this week, so be prepared for that 😂! Also, what other things would you recommend doing in Hamburg? I have a video planned for when I come back where I review the Hotel INSIDE the Elbphilharmonie! Thought that would be pretty fun to film for you guys 😊!

It is not raining in Hamburg: The Alster Fountain is spraying water to all city districts.

You must experience a concert. Its surreal

Lol, James and the Döner. That’s a love story 😂

The "Clock Tower" is callen "Michel" (St.Michaelis). You can go up there and it is a better view than the Elbphilharmonie and you will see the big bells up there 😂

Worked in the lion king theatre for 15 years. Was a stage technician there. So if you want a glimpse of backstage area would not be a problem. Still have some contacts there. And still after 15 years it is a beautiful play. And the lion king in Hamburg is the most successful in the world. Also beating the broadway show. Fun fact, "Simba", the name of the little lion... Ok, there is the same word in Kisuaheli (an african language) and the meaning is... Little lion. 😂

For your Campertour a nice location to visit. [Lüneburg] Feel free to come to Lüneburg. Lüneburg is a small town near Hamburg and worth a day trip. Lüneburg has a beautiful, old Hanseatic city center with lovely houses, alleys, and an ancient Hanseatic harbor. You can park your motorhome on the Sülzwiesen, a park in the city center, and walk to the city center.

About living in the Elbphi: 2018 one of the flats was sold for 11 Million Euros, 39.000€ per m^2. In 2019 one of the flats was offered for rent: 12.000€ per Month. Hotel rooms start at about 250€ per Night...

Hi. The black clock tower is the "Michel", or the St. Michaelis Kirche. It´s a "must" to recognize this church. ;-)

It was funny to read the subtitels. Night became knight and Reeperbahn became raper bahn. Cool video though.

Me and my family was visiting the miniatur wunderland a few days ago (you influenced me) and then we went right to the elphi bc we parked there in the parking garage (3 hours, 22€, yo). That day was awesome.

The clock tower is the Hamburg Michel, our main church and the landmark of Hamburg. Elbphilharmonie: Elb = The river Elbe on which it stands and Philharmonie, because is´s the Philharmonic Hall.

Hamburg, the city of my birth and one of the most beautiful cities in Germany (IMO Munich and Hamburg are tied for #1). The Elbphilarmonie is simply stunning. Fun fact, initially it was initially projected to cost 77 million Euros. It ended up costing about 866 million Euros. Which is more than half of what the Burj Khalifa cost and the Elbphilarmonie is only 110m high. IMO the #1 landmark of Hamburg is the harbor. By volume it's Europe's biggest harbor, it's Europe's third-busiest harbor (after Rotterdam and Antwerp) and the 15th-largest in the world. It's called the 'Gate(way) to the world'. A gate is also the emblem on the flag of Hamburg. Fun side fact: Bremen (which is another city-state) have a key on their flag, so the saying goes: Hamburg has the gate to the world but Bremen has the key to it. And you really have to take a ferry round-trip around the harbor area, it's so worth it. I'm glad you like Hamburg, great video as always.

Love Hamburg,but lived in BONN near köln, over 31 yrs👏🇪🇸👍😉🇩🇪

The "clock tower" you saw is is called the Michel and it's kinda important to Hamburgs history. It's a really old tower. It was build in 1912 and got destroyed 3 times during its construction apparently. Iam not sure. The tower is part of a really old church and it's probably the only tower in Hamburg, that has been coted and build with copper plates. The first time it was destroyed, it was because of lighting striking it. Which is really ironic, because a good chunk of it is made of copper. You'd think they saw that coming lol.

Whats up James? Its good to know you like my City that much.Hamburg is the best place in the World.For me I know the weather some times sucks Right now-May 16th-we have blue sky,the sun is out all day long and we have 25 °c up to 27°c Take care bro!

I once toured the construction site while they were building it and just started with the roof.

I think the Reeperbahn and the dom are the most iconic parts of hamburg but the elbphilharmonie is up there too but not on the same lwvel like those two and also the elbe (with a fähre) or the alster and the harbour are all more iconic for me than the elbphilharnonie but as i said i also like the elbphilharmonie bc its a one of a kind from architecture to location or even the view to the elbe and city its really cool 💫

Eyooooo this video is fire. Keep up the hustle James. I have been watching your videos since 2018 and they never seem to disappoint my expectations. Dont want to put any preasure on you, just wanted to say thank you.

I'm commenting here not to be nitpicky but just because I know you always want to improve your German skills. "Tasche" in Apfeltasche means pocket, so it's the same concept as "Hot Pocket". Other words in this context would be Jackentasche (jacket pocket), or Hosentasche (pants pocket). Another usages would be Taschengeld literally pocket money or allowance. Einkaufstasche would be a shopping bag and a Handtasche would be a purse/handbag. So both literal translations are correct in the right context. BTW. your German pronunciations are getting better and better. For a lot of words you can barely hear an accent! Thanks for all the good vibes you bring to Germany! ♥

"Hamburch meine Perle, du wunderschöne Stadt" ....

James, may I tell you about the most outstanding and somehow uncommon event ever that has taken place in the Elphi? I guess it was 2 or 3 months ago. A very famous German KZfaqr and Streamer named Staiy went there with all his own streaming equipment to play two indie computer games. The thing was: He played them with the sound muted! All the sounds and the background music for the two games were created by an orchestra and a foley artist. The original soundtrack from the games was used. The Elphi was sold out, and there are various videos about this event on YT. Since nobody knows exactly what the course of the game would be, the conductor had to watch the game closely on a monitor in order to adapt to what was happening. This meant that nothing could be rehearsed. That was completely new and extremely impressive! I watched that stream and ... it was mind blowing!

My 5 years old daughter loves the Elphi and also went there for a children's concert. And back in the late 90s we were having psychdelic trance drug parties on that historic freight ship in front at 0:40 (Cap San Diego), those were the good old times (I know I'm getting old).

That was a wonderful day! Nowhere is the sky as beautifully grey as in Hamburg! 😏 Greetings from Hamburg

If you're coming to Hamburg again, you should drive to the east of Hamburg, there is a small town called "Lauenburg", it's really medival, there are buildings from like 1500 or so

Damn only in Hamburg there is content as f**k. Just imagine all over Germany... Yeah let's bring the videos. Make us proud again of our beautiful country and nice people. Thanks for being like a true ambassador. Great videos indeed.

Hi, James! You guys have only been on the Plaza level. Didn't you know that you can book a 10 Euro tour to get into the large and the small concert hall? It's worth it, they explain all those acoustic details to you. After that, you can pre-book having 5 o'clock tea at the hotel lobby, and that's how you get to see the hotel part of the Elphi. Last week, I enrolled for a condo sales tour, that's how I got to see what get's you roughly 4 million Euros in Hamburg. View over the port included. Next time you're in Hamburg, book all those little things in advance in order to see more of the Elphi. Grüße aus Hamburg!

Yay! You went there! 👍👍👍🤩 Next time go and attend a concert. It's phenomenal! 🎶🎶❤️

A friend of me actually was a opening act at the opening of the elbphilharmonie and I and my friends also performed closely after that in the elbphilharmonie

Yo bro, thanks for showing off my hometown. If you want a real good "Döner" experience go to Lokmam. Its located in the Sternschanze. Real good turkish food with a lot of meat varieties

You need to come Back to the Hamburger Hafenfest 😀

You really need to check out the 5 biggest cities from the Ruhrgebiet a lot of history and a lot of people out here its maybe not as many good looking Architecture out here but we also got that and we got old industrial plants turned into a family park( landschaftspark nord in duisburger) or even more cool shit in Dortmund Essen Duisburg Oberhausen Bochum are all big cities in the Ruhrgebiet so all really close next to each other and every city got its own charme and place to check out (also here are way more big cities you could check out Ruhrgebiet is like berlin but not as one city so similar population and area but splittet in many centers/cities) i think you would love the Ruhrgebiet if you would know which places to check out i could send you some btw like Centro Oberhausen, Landschaftspark nord.......... too many to write all in that comment but i hope you see this and maybe think about getting here its the most dense populated area in germany and also near cologne and düsseldorf but still its whole own vibe the Ruhrpott vibe (for excample duisburger got one of the biggest binnen harbors of the whole world(was the biggest for a long time and i at the rhine river) and waaaay more great stuff out here Dortmund Essen Duisburg Oberhausen Centro maybe Bochum or Mühlheim are all worth a visit and got so much stuff to see we are underrated as a vacation spot bc of the old industrial times but as i said its more like a post apocalyptic vibe out hete bc most of the industrial parts are getting taken over by nature and that looks fr post apocalyptix and cool af ( best exsample is the "Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord" in Duisburg ho check out some picture of it the Ruhrgebiet is really worth a detailed visit so you can see the best parzs at least of every city (like in berlin hete are also no ho areas like Duisburg marxloh or essen altendorf so really dangerous parts but just dont go there at nightime and you should be ok or just dont go there and stay at safer places like in berlin and hamburg too 💫💫💫

🎵🎵🎵 You ain't seen nothing yet 🎶 b-b-b-Braybe

Oh and for the Roadtrip: Ostfriesland, Ostfriesische Inseln, Helgoland, Ostsee, Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, Rostock, Papenburger Meyer Werft If they dock Out a ship, cranckiest Tower in the world close to Emden

The nickname is “Elphi” 😊

The "Clock Tower" is THE Hamburg Landmark, Church Sankt Michaelis aka Hamburg Michel

So, you suggested to James a "Große Hafenrundfahrt"👆? 😳 Autsch! Pretty intimate.....😉😂 Sorry, couldn't resist....😌☮️

"Most iconic concert hall in the world" might be a slight exaggeration lol. I'd argue that title goes to the one in Sydney, but the Elbphilharmonie is a very impressive piece of architecture nontheless.

Great Video ❤ Did you also visit the Alster & the Hamburger Rathaus? Its so beautiful Especially in the evening and when the fountain comes on.

The "Hamburg Wetter" is definitely a reason I'd never want to live in Hamburg again. I love the sun

classic hamburg weather

Noice, best time to visit Hamburg would be spring time actually. Like right now. A shame you couldn't see that ;-) oh and besides a few music halls, there is also the opera.

Damn, your Pronounciation is onpoint, hearing you say Eiskönigin like I would say it myself made me pretty happy Dude. Cant wait for your Tour. Keep it up✌️💚

So we ( Hamburg ) dont have a dom because we arent Catholic, we are Protestant. We had a dom when we were Catholic ( a few hundrets years ago ) but when we got Protestant the dom got tored off. The place where the dom stand is named "Heiligen Geist Feld ( Holy ghost field ). A amusement park is held there, three times a year named "Dom". The clocktower you saw is named "Michel". The "Michel" was our landmark before the Elbphilharmonie was build 2017.

dude, the "clock tower" and "der michel" is the same thing :) get up there using the stairs haha... its a rite of passaga man

Even germans would struggle a bit with saying elbphilharmonie fast if you wanna say it good just say it slower (just a tipp bc its kinda a tongue twister if you say it fast) 😂

I hope you were there for the harbor birthday (last week), if not, take a quick look at it on the internet, it was incredible.

i am from Germany and the Elbphin harmonie is so Beautiful in Hamburg i am was more than 20 times or so there it's by Hafencity right :D we a love that do you love some Horror Stuff? (Yes) i can give you a beautiful experience on Hamburger Dongeon it is 10 Minuts over elphin harmonie :D sry if my englisch is not all so good🫂💙✨

We love James🫶🏼

You should book a sailing-trip on the Alster with Hamburg City Sailing. If you do so, mention that you got this tip from me, you might get the boss as your skipper 😉

In terms of capacity the Elbphilarmonie is not the biggest (classical) concert hall in Germany. Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg 2,100 seats Festspielhaus, Baden-Baden 2,500 seats That's esp. strange if one keeps in mind that Hamburg has 1.84 million inhabitants and Baden-Baden 55,000 inhabitants.

Hey Guy i wanna you Take a challenge, an Andre Rieu Concert in Maastricht, because Former i thougt nothing for me, but since His Concert one TV and See all the lucky and Happy people from all over the world at this Open Air It is a must bei.

Love the video, however it’s not the biggest concert hall in Germany. The biggest concert hall for classical music in Germany is the Kuppelsaal in the HCC in Hannover.

I'm really not a fan of the North and can't wait for you to explore the South during summer, but one of the few things up North that's worth a visit is the "Kieler Woche" for sure. If you're up there in June and can make it, you should. :)

Hast He done a 500k subscriber Special?

northern germany.. its exacly this weather :D .. many say London Rainy City... fuck em .. its northern german.. and i LOVE it, no sweat, no bitey flystuff, just enjoy^^

I want a Pixar movie where a Charakter named bray travela to the döner dimension😂

Dude, Ive been there yesterday

sry for hamburg it is the fishmarkt what is iconic

What I have seen so far from your Hamburg videos, gives me the impression that you missed so much, and maybe didn't have the best or most informed guides with you. (Schanzenviertel, Altona, fish market, Planten un Blomen, Blankenese etc etc.) Plus, so weird you are standing on a several billion concert hall and only speak about hotel and apartment rooms in the Elbphilharmonie. 😂

Apple turnover is my to-go-breakfast for years.

"Elbphilharmone" because it stnds by the River Elbe. No "Elfs" anywhere. You where in "Miniatur Wunerland" you saw this building there.

We call the weather in Hamburg: Schmuddelwetter Dirty weather.

Nett hier. Aber waren Sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?

your pronanciacion is almost perfect.. we say "im norden" Hamburch" ^^ but love your Hamburg... not this english "häämburg" ^^

Hast du schon mal Werner Beinhart den Comic Film gesehn? Da dein Deutsch ja besser wird, würde mich und vielen anderen, ein React Video interissieren. Ist auch so ein Kulturding in Deutschland. Wäre bestimmt Mega lustig.🤣😂 Wer ist dafür?👇 Und wichtig du musst Bölkstoff (Bier) dazu trinken.😆🤣

deine Aussprache wird immer besser! wäre es nicht für die schwierigen Wörter. xD

🥰😊

Lecker 😋 Döner 🥙

you haven't been in the actual concert hall, sechs setzen.

YOU OBSESSION WITH GERMANY ,IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN NOTHING YET ,THERE MUCH NICER COUNTRY'S LIKE GERMANY; WITH NICER PEOPLE TOO. !!!

Dude PLEASE go to Miniaturwunderland Hamburg it is LEGeNDARY
