A must-see when visiting Hamburg

Just walking into this new district is interesting and then arriving at this futuristic building you are fascinated by the vastness and height. Inside , first this infinite escalator and then the first view directly to the entire port at the landing piers , unique . The overall circuit on the plaza and the architectural elements super .
