Carlsberg Brewery

Overview
Visit Carlsberg is located in Valby in Copenhagen at the location of the first Carlsberg Brewery. The visitor centre will give you an idea of how the world-famous Carlsberg Beer is made. Carlsberg is among the largest tourist attractions in Copenhagen and now you have the opportunity to get closer to the roots of Carlsberg, the history and the beer. The Old Carlsberg Brewery from 1847 has been converted into a modern centre for visitors covering 10,000 m².

In the courtyard is a smaller replica of the Little Mermaid Statue that Carl Jacobsen donated to Copenhagen.

Tour ends at the brewery bar

The unique displays and interactive exhibitions take you on a trip through the world's largest collection of beer bottles, the history of beer, and the Carlsberg development. The tour also brings you through a sculpture garden, award-winning stables, and a souvenir shop.

The tour ends in the bar which is located on the first floor of the brewery and here you can sample some of the products with a view to the characteristic copper vessels. You should allow around one and a half hours for a complete tour. We recommend you to arrive no later than 14:30 so you have time to explore the centre.

The admission fee includes two beers or soft drinks at the bar after the tour.
