About
The Home of Carlsberg is full of experiences
The Home of Carlsberg is more than a brewery today, it is filled with experiences related to the famous beer. You can wander around the exhibition, take a seat in the courtyard, have a drink in the bar, and visit the horses in the stables. A visit to the Home of Carlsberg, is like travelling through time with its historic facilities and stables, and modern exhibition.
The interactive exhibition explores the history, present and future of Carlsberg beer and the Carlsberg family. You can get hands-on and virtually brew your own beer, then dive into a world of sensory experiences. Smell the fragrant hops, dance in a beer, and see how Carlsberg advertising has evolved over the years. And, no trip to the Home of Carlsberg would be complete without marvelling at their impressive bottle collection in the basement, featuring bottles from all corners of the globe.
A historic Danish brewery
To quench your thirst after you’ve made your way through the exhibition, your ticket includes a refreshing draft beer or soft drink. You can choose to enjoy it in the beautiful Carlsberg bar or in the rustic courtyard. The courtyard also features a small sculpture garden.
Don’t forget to visit the Carlsberg stables during your visit either. There you can meet six draught horses and two ponies. Once horses were an indispensable part of the company, at one point the company had almost 200 horses. Today, the stables also house vintage cars.

Amazing and friendly service
I had an amazing time visiting the Home of Carlsberg. In particular, Jacob behind the bar was a really friendly presence to talk to, teaching me lots about Carlsberg Christmas beer and also Danish culture. I will be enjoying lots more Carlsberg Christmas beer to come!! A real delight, thankyou Jacob!
One of to do list
It was a very nice and interest experience learning about the history of the beer! Staff was very kind! I would certainly recommend if you in the city.
Great experience
It was interesting to hear the history of Carlsberg & how it was founded then the reason for it's name. The interaction throughout the tour was good although at times the wrist band took a while to activate. More instruction for the use of some of the activities wold have been useful.
Great experience
This is a must-do if you love beer and you are in Copenhagen! So interesting and fun interactive things to do too! Get a beer with your Probably Perfect Name!
Worth a visit while in Copenhagen
Unless on a tour it is a little tricky to get to. From central, you need to take a city train to “Carlsberg”. If visiting allow 2-3 hours and pay the extra for a behind the scene experience such as the recently released war rooms…
Grrrrreaaaat
Very interesting museum and really interactive. You don’t lose your attention! I really liked the videos that shown the father and son and the whole history. Additionally, I enjoyed the beer tasting. The girl was very friendly and I learnt a lot of things!
Garlsberg copenhagen
The exhibition was very enjoyable. We also took part in a historical guided tour. Our guide was great and made it a very interesting and rewarding experience.
Great bartender
Amazing experience, great beer and bartender. LOVED him. He was nice and provided great advice. Would love to get advice from him again, concerning beer.
Beer collection
The beer collection was amazing. Really liked how it was organised country by country. Also the interactive screens were really helpful.
Immersive and engaging
Loved the immersive narrated history of the founder and his family and of the brewery. The exhibition includes engaging digital media too.
Awesome experience!
Both exhibition and tour were great. We got into interesting talks with the tour guide and the person in one of the exhibition rooms, learning a lot! The Carlsberg city is beautiful!
A surprisingly great visit
This was a great visit. Really over my expectations. Both the tour and the beer tasting. Was good to have the videos and wonderful to be walking around in the old buildings.
Perfect!
Great experience, nice presemtation of brewery, interesting history and many interactive things to do in here. We really enjoyed it.
Ok to pass a morning
We attended as a group, the building and venue are very nice as is the bar space. The tour itself is self guided and mainly about the history of the family than the beer itself, but that’s fine and interesting. Horses were huge and awesome in the yard, think they needed mucking out a bit more though, Brygger was being attacked by so many flies.
House of Carlsberg, interesting and great lager
Really interesting tour albeit a bit of a trek from the nearest metro. Beautiful buildings, well described history, lots to interact with and listen to. Mini beer when you get there, and pint at the end, which sitting outside in the sun went down an absolute treat. It is accessible but lots of steep steps too, so not sure if all parts are accessible, may need to have a look. Beautiful courtyard outside, with Snack bar and also a restaurant inside. Soft drinks served in iced plastic beakers which was a nice touch. Came free with the Copenhagen card, so well worth it. Combined the morning tour with Fredriksen Slot in the afternoon (very near) to maximise timings l, and cool little sandwich place called Olivers between the two is also worth a visit.
Fantastic place to enjoy and learn about beer
It is a fantastic museum with an even nicer outside area for having a beer before, during and after your visit. A must for beer enthusiasts!
Home of Carlsberg
A must have experience while in Copenhagen. A business with 176 years of history has many stories to learn from. The restaurant must serve sone vegetarian items too.
Probably the best experience in the world!
This is much better than I thought it would be.... The basic tour is a self guided tour (starting with a beer taster) - however there are videos that draw you to the next stage. There is so much to see and do - you don't need to rush as the videos replay a dew minutes later. The Carling advertising posters through the years and different countries is amazing. There are just enough interactive games to play for all ages and you can become a Mastrer Brewer or choose which beer to virtually dance/drown in - which you can save to your wristband and download at home (for no additional cost). Near the end of the tour is someone who answers all the questions my wife could think of - very knowledgeable indeed! Finished up at the bar for a free pint in the bar / courtyard or garden. You can pay extra for a tour of the cellars and three tasters but I did not do this -although I may do if I go back. Overall amazing staff and great experience and I have just downloaded my pictures! Brilliant!
Awesome!
The immersive experience was awesome. Got to know the history of beer making. Totally enjoyed all the activities within the compound
Fun, factual, friendly experience
Very informative and interactive with interesting content. Plenty to see and do at your own leisure. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.
It’s a must if you are in Copenhagen 🇩🇰
Everything is excellent! The interactive parts, de services, the history behind the brand, the gift shop, the ambiebtation, the assistants along the tour. It’s a must if you are in Copenhagen 🇩🇰
Great time at the Carlsberg Brewing House
Great time. So many interactive exhibits. Great for kids as well. I loved all the characters displayed in the videos. Great combination of family history and the brew making process.
A walk in time
A very educational tour to understand the history of Carlsberg and the art of beer brewing from 1850s until modern days. There were some interactive display as well to engage the audience! Definitely worth going! Give that man a beer!
Amazing
A magic world!!!!! Amazing!!!!! I would like to thank the staff for their kindness and patience. Thanks a lot!!!!! ☺️ ☺️
Worth a visit
With this world famous brand so close to the city centre its worth a visit , we'll laid out and friendly staff , lots of interaction things to do and lots to read , our only criticism is the poor signage to get from the train station, we mentioned this to a few staff members and were told were not the first and there looking into putting better directions up .
Excellent exhibition
Really worth a visit and included in Copenhagen card. This is a relatively new exhibition which was entertaining and easy to follow
Interactive, comprehensive tour.
This was a very fun interactive tour. You could do things like create labels, swim in digital beer, and be a brewer for a photo. The tour was also informative and comprehensive.
Very enjoyable
An interactive experience in a very well designed museum. Unfortunately we missed the horses, as they were on summer holiday, but everything else was very pleasant, especially learning more about the Jacobson family.
A perfect brewery experience!
Great experience with the perfect balance of history, videos, text to read, artefacts to look at and interactions. Feel like I have fully immersed myself into the world, history and family of Carlsberg. Tak!
Herlig oplevelse
Virkelig fin interaktiv og moderne udstilling med tilpas test til at supplere de meget spændende illustrationer i form af video, original materiale og bygninger. Tilpas størrelse til at man kan holde koncentrationen hele vejen. Omgivelserne var rigtigt flotte
Fremragende luksusølsmagning
I anledning af Carlsbergs 150 års jubilæum er der bl.a. fremragende smagninger af bryggeriets signatur ølserie Alchemy, bestående af seks forskellige og helt unikke øl i den absolutte luksusklasse (fra +200 kr til +1000 kr pr flaske) sammenligneligt med fornemme Cru Classe vine. Smagningen blev ledt af en meget kompetent brygmester og varede over 75 minutter både med fokus på skum, lugt og smag samt ingredienser og alt det mere nørdede omkring ølbrygning. Især Wheat Lager (en ultimativ luksus pilsner) og Brut Beer (en delikat "hvidvinøl" bl.a. skabt i kraft af ingredienserne yuzo og grapefrugtskal!) faldt i min smag.
Fed rundvisning
Fremragende rundtur med masser af information og aktiviteter- kan anbefales til både børn og voksne. Fed digitaliseret levendegørelse
Piacevole visita nel mondo della birra danese più famosa
Siamo scesi alla fermata Carlsberg, ma guarda un po'? Dopo una breve camminata siamo arrivati davanti alla fabbrica della birra più famosa di Danimarca. Tutto ben ordinato e piacevolmente visitabile. Interessante anche lo shop, con immancabile acquisto, e poi l'assaggio di birra. Simpatico anche attraversare la parte dove ci sono i cavalli. Non puoi non scattare foto ai furgoncini iconici e piccoli pezzi di storia della birreria. Per motivi di tempo non abbiamo visitato il museo. Poco distante dalla fabbrica, dieci minuti a piedi, la porta con gli elefanti, simbolo della Carlsberg. Una visita interessante che richiede del tempo soggettivo.
Spændende oplevelse
Fantastisk museum og livligt med fortællingerne. Meget oplysende og flot udført. Sjovt at man selv kan være aktiv. Home of Carlsberg.
Fantastisk besøg
Virkelig fedt der var nået for alle og virkelig godt fundet på med små spil Gode fortællere rundt omkring og virkelig gode små videoer
Schönes Ambiente mit Geschichte
Sehr schönes Ambiente, super gemacht und man erfährt sehr viel über die Carlsberg Brauerei und dessen Geschichte. Sehr gerne wieder.
Meget overraskende oplevelse (positivt ment)
Meget overraskende oplevelse (positivt ment). Virkelig fantastisk rundtur med flotte film og interaktive elementer. Vi kedede os ikke 1 sekund i de 1,5 timer det varede. Kan bestemt anbefales uanset om man interesserer sig for øl eller ej.
Rigtig godt
Interessant. Rigtig hyggelige omgivelser. Godt lavet, med de filmklip om historien bag Carlsberg. Anbefaler en tur derind
Un must a Copenaghen
Visitato con moglie e figlio di 4 mesi. Museo curato nei dettagli e molto interessante conoscere la storia di questo birrificio. Consiglio la visita anche perché a inizio e fine visita c'è una birra omaggio.
Besøg igen og igen
Super godt. Klart flere besøg værd. Super god øl. Skøn atmosfære. God stemning og meget at se på. Hyggeligste sted i København.
Muy entretenida
Es un experiencia muy completa que cuenta la historia de la familia y de la elaboración desde los inicios. Con audiovisuales y experiencias inmersivas que puedes llevarte de recuerdo. Muy recomendable. Ha sido una hora y media que ha pasado volando!
Skønt besøg.
Var afsted med mine voksne sønner og min svigerdatter. Fantastisk historie, vi brugte virkelig lang tid på museet og især mine sønner var svært begejstrede! At vi efter besøget kunne nyde en iskold øl fra fad i høj sol og dejlige omgivelser var prikken over i 'et. Meget anbefalelsesværdigt!
Kurzweilige und interaktive Brauereiführung
Sehr informativ und kurzweilig. Super gemacht (da es sehr moderne und interaktive Führung ist) und nicht nur was für Bier-Freaks. 😉
Spændende oplevelse
En spændende oplevelse med flere aha oplevelser undervejs - flot og spændende udstilling 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 og til sidst en øl betalt med indgangsbilletten 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ottima esperienza, non solo birra!
Molto interessante scoprire quanto alcune aziende nel mondo contribuiscono a creare un mondo migliore per tutti. Lo consiglio vivamente
Ein Muss für einen copenhagen tripp
Wenn man in Kopenhagen ist, dann muss man die Brauerei besuchen. Dadurch daß es sehr viel interaktive Aktivitäten gibt, ist es kurzweilig und macht Spaß. Das Beste, es ist in der copenhagen discover Card enthalten.
Fremragende
Fremragende oplevelse. Kan varmt anbefales herfra. Denne oplevelse er et must see når man er i Københavns området. Jeg gik derfra med endnu en fantastisk oplevelse i bagagen.
Geweldig!
Erg leuk om te bezoeken. Je krijgt een goed beeld van de historie van Carlsberg, maar daarnaast ook van het hele brouwproces. Tevens de bierproeverij gedaan; voor de liefhebber zeker iets om te doen!
En besøg værd
Virkelig flot og moderne museum, som har nogle spændende måder at formidle deres indhold. Der er rigtig meget interessant viden om både Carlsbergs historie og ølbrygning. Absolut et besøg værd.
Mycket nöjda
Mycket proffsigt arrangemang. Trevligt för par. Varje del i besöket var tydligt och avslutades med en iskall öl i baren.
