What you'll see
A domed hall at the Landungsbrücken where big lifts take you down 24 metres, then a tiled tunnel about 400 metres long under the Elbe. On the far bank, a short walk brings you to the best view back over the harbour and the city.
A brief history
It opened in 1911 so dock workers could reach the shipyards on the south bank; the tiles are decorated with fish, crabs and other river creatures.
