What to see

Beer has been brewed on this hill since 1847. Carlsberg moved most of its production to Fredericia in 2008, and the Jacobsen house brewery at Home of Carlsberg still brews for festivals and the restaurant here.

1. The exhibition. It covers 3,000 square metres and tells the story of the Jacobsen family, Carlsberg’s scientific discoveries, the brand and beer. The film is in English with Danish subtitles, and the text panels are in Danish and English. It holds a collection of more than 22,000 unopened beer bottles, with the world’s two smallest beers on show.
2. The Carlsberg Foundation exhibition. Through the autumn of 2026 the foundation’s 150th anniversary is marked by a free special exhibition, with tastings of the anniversary beer AERA and special experiences.
3. The courtyard and the sculpture garden. Free to enter, with a small smoking area.
4. The stables. The horses and the vintage cars need no ticket. Carlsberg has kept horses since 1847, and around 1925 it had 200. Today the horses visit customers several times a week.
5. The Carlsberg Bar. A draught Carlsberg without the exhibition.
6. The Brand Store. It is being renovated until spring 2027 and stays open.

The New Carlsberg Foundation funds the operations of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and Carl Jacobsen gave the city the Little Mermaid.

The order that works: book the exhibition for the morning and add the cellar tour on the same ticket, then take the stables and the bar, which need no booking. What to skip: the add-ons if time is short. The exhibition takes 60 to 90 minutes and each add-on is about 30 minutes more.

Hours, rules and getting there

• Last slot: the last exhibition slot is two hours before closing.
• Language: English is the main language, and the guided activities are in English.
• Children: under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Tastings are for 18 and over.
• Pushchairs are left in the courtyard, because of the stairs and the limited space in the exhibition.
• Lockers are next to the ticket office.
• Wheelchairs: most of Home of Carlsberg is cobbled, and the cellars and parts of the exhibition cannot be reached. To visit the exhibition in a wheelchair, book a guided tour 14 days ahead by email.
• Dogs are not allowed, except service dogs.
• Getting there: the address is Gamle Carlsberg Vej 11, 1799 Copenhagen V. It is within walking distance of Enghave Plads metro station, Carlsberg train station and several bus stops. Copenhagen public transport has the fares.
• The one thing that ruins a visit: arriving late. The ticket is for a slot, and a late arrival is not guaranteed the next one.

The Copenhagen Card includes the exhibition, and Copenhagen Card: is it worth it? runs the sums. Home of Carlsberg is open on Mondays, when most of Copenhagen’s museums are shut, and it is a stop on the green line of the hop-on hop-off bus. What to book in Copenhagen has the closed days for every sight. Copenhagen with kids says what suits children. 3 days in Copenhagen puts the brewery on a Monday.
