    The beer was great, as was the exhibition itself! My downsides were primarily that the picture saving did not work for me so I didn't get to keep any wristband media from the visit. Also I felt very rushed because we were the last slot of the day. I fell because of this great rush. I understand wanting guests to get to the bar before it closes but I truly only think I fell because of this rushed panic that set in.

    One of my favorite brewery tours! A standout from Heineken and Guinness Storehouse, this was my fav! Absolutely loved all the history and what the founding family did for Denmark and scientific advancements for the world. So much to learn and now they shaped the city. Absolutely well curated experience and of course, the beer. Great pours to choose from. I loved seeing the full history of the brand and their ads and how Carlsberg expanded globally. The beer bottle collection is wildly impressive. And they have horses! What a place! Such a good visit!

    Cool place. Tour at your own pace. Lot of videos to watch, memorabilia, very nice outdoor area to enjoy a great beer after the tour. I would recommend making this a must see especially if you like beer.

    One of Carlsberg's horses. Easy and approachable!

    I opted to take the self-directed tour rather than wait for one of the scheduled tours. As such, I was able to walk the route through the factory to see the various pieces and parts of what was once this great brewery (the beer manufacturing is now elsewhere) with sights and sounds and even videos at my own pace. The tour is not handicapped accessible with quite a few steep stairs up and down through the factory space. So be prepared for that. At the end, your reward is a free Carlsberg draft in their bar. Of course, you're welcome to stay, eat and drink more Carlsberg. There is a free wifi there and a few tables with access to power outlets. I found it interesting and I am a fan. I've been to a few brewery tours - Sweetwater in Atlanta, Guinness in Dublin - and this is quite interesting. Gift shop includes all sorts of Carlsberg merchandise. Tshirts, sweaters, hoodies, golf balls, glassware, posters, etc. I got my usual fridge magnet and a small glass. ROUND NUMBER REVIEW! Number 9700 overall and number 1277 in 2018!

    Take the bus

    It feels like a Deschutes in Oregon. Its all brick. There are about 5 buildings and an open garden to tour, souvenier shop and you can walk through with or without their tour guides. There are a bunch of stairs, so wear comfy shoes. There are the hefty transport horses in their stables and they do cart pulls, but today, the weather was too hot for them. There is a dedicated restaurant on the 2nd floor that serves a simple menu. Had the bbq Carlsbad burger filled with thick cut cabbage. Also had the smoked hopped salmon on ciabatta bread. Standardly good. Big bar and about 6 beer varieties of their beer this day. There is cider, too. Seems about same menu and beers available on the ground floor square. Take the bus to the brewery. It that leaves near the tourist center and across the big train station. The ride is free, but admission to the tour is not. Can pay while boarding bus with cash or cc. Best to take bus right now, as there is a lot of building construction right now between the brewery and the s train. It will also stop at the Zoo on the way returning back to the city.

    We got a free tour of the Brewery from purchasing our Hop on Hop off bus ticket. This is not quite what we were thinking it was. My husband and I did a tour of Carlsberg over 30 years ago. We remembered that tour and the Elephant. This was not the same tour we took many years ago. This was a different tour. This turned out to be interesting. This tour gave us all the history of the brewery. But it also gave the history of beer. For example I didn't know that beer was being made as long ago as 4000 B.C. At this location is also the largest collection of old unopened beer bottles in the world. There is a section of Carlsberg exported beer bottles from other countries in different languages. The collection was in the Guinness World Records in October 2006. The bottles come from all over the world and continues to grow. We got to walk in the cellars of the old brewery. This is Denmark's oldest brewery. It was established in 1847 by J.C. Jacobsen. The name of the brewery came when J.C. combined the name of his son with the Danish term for mountain (berg) as it was on a hill in Valby. Father and son later went in to competition against each other. In 1906 the two breweries united. The brewery has burnt down several times. We toured the old brew house and a display of employee conditions. J.C. Jacobson had very high ideals and stuck to them. For example he declared that if they found or created anything in the laboratory that would or could improve beer they would share with other brewers. In 1883 their lab created the world's first yeast which changed beer production around the world. Carlsberg also has horses and stables along with early delivery vehicles and modes of transportation. The horses are rare Jutland horses. Jutland horses are an ancient Danish breed. The Jutland horses look a little like a Clydesdale horse. Maybe other breweries got this idea from Denmark? Carlsberg used these horses to distribute their beer back in the day. Now they are Brand ambassadors for fairs, festivals, marketing and PR. Every year when the beer brewed for Christmas goes on sale the horses and Carlsberg carriage take to the street around November 1st. The stables are open every day except Monday. Our free tour also came with two free beers or choice of soda in the old Jacobsen Brew house and bar. You must be 18 and have ID to drink this beer. There is also a small store here that sells Carlsberg souvenir items like beer Steins.

    As brewery tours go, Carlsberg delivers. Our guide was upbeat and made the tasting with history of the beers fun and enjoyable! Great to take in the museum and extensive bottle collection and the horse drawn carriage is a nice touch. With your admission package you get a couple of beer tickets to use in the restaurant. I decided to try the Master Brew which I haven't had before. It was a strong and malty beer and I enjoyed it. A great place to take visitors and definitely worth the trip! Not a bad walk from Central Station if you're up for it (about 40 minutes).

    I got 99 problems and a beer ain't one! ;-) Actually, we had one big problem: rain. It rained the whole weekend we were in Copenhagen and all the outdoorsy stuff I planned got canceled. Hmm. What to do?? Beer tasting! It's a bit of a walk from Nyhavn so take the bus to get here. The ticket price is 60 DKK which gives you 2 drink tickets at Bar Jacobsen. The information center goes in great detail on how beer is made (you can even smell hops that are used in the beer) and also provides a thorough family history of J.C. Jacobsen and how Carlsberg became one of Denmark's most recognizable companies. Explore the world's largest unopened bottle collection at 22,276 bottles and marvel at them. They currently hold a Guinness World record for that! I'm not much of a beer drinker but I love learning about history and why not sample Denmark's products? ;-) the Jacobsen's Dark Lager (5.8%) tastes like caramel and smells of pear and apple. I also liked the Rod Tuborg (4.6%) seasonal lager. Make sure to check out the stables and see the horses! They're a delightful way to end your visit.

    Well this isn't just a brewery - it's basically an entire little Carlsberg town! :) First off, it's pretty easy to find given the GIANT high-rise that says "Carlsberg" and is visible from pretty much all of Copenhagen. There are also little maps as you get closer (just follow Carlsberg Street!). It's self-guided (unless you book an organized tour at an extra price), and takes about an hour or so. You get 2 drink tickets that you can use en route or at the end at the Carlsberg bar. We opted to do one of each - it was worth it because you couldn't get the beer they were offering earlier in the tour at the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very nice: had a bar area, tables, couches, bean bag chairs, foosball tables, and a big projector screen that replayed very funny Carlsberg commercials! You can sit and relax for as long as you want (and enjoy the free wifi!) I had no idea about the long history of Carlsberg and its umbrella over other big beer names (like Tuborg for example). The tour is really very informative and you even get to see the Guinness World Record holder for biggest unopened beer bottle collection: something like almost 20K bottles! (although only about 16K were on display). Very impressive all around!

    On our list of things to do in Copenhagen was a visit to the Carlsberg Brewery. The price of admission is a reasonable 85 DKK (free with the Copenhagen Card) and includes two drink vouchers for beer or pop. The brewery has an exhibit about the history of the brewery and beer and brewing in general; old brewing equipment throughout the brewery; a large collection of beer bottles from around the world; a horse stable (those horses are HUGE!); and a sculpture garden which includes a smaller version of the famous "Little Mermaid" statue. (Tip: if you want to see the Little Mermaid statue without having to deal with crowds of pushy people poking your eye out with selfie sticks, go the the brewery instead.) After we toured the brewery, we had lunch in the cafeteria along with one of our free beers (we were just too full to have a second beer, plus we're not big beer drinkers in the first place). The food was absolutely delicious, and very satisfying. It was one of the best meals we had in Copenhagen. One of my favourite meals on my entire trip, actually.

    We took a shore excursion while onboard the Celebrity which brought us here. I love beer, so this was an easy agreement. The brewery is located in a quaint-looking area, but so is most of Denmark. We took a tour of the museum which was boring to me as I am not one to herd along with other tourists and read overly long storyboard signs, so I zipped right through and met my spouse outside. The courtyard area is what I enjoyed the most. Very picturesque with a lot of photo ops. There were nice areas to sit away from the crowds and explore on your own. We ended up in a large communal seating room which housed a bar counter where you redeem your 2 included drinks. Snack items were available for purchase.

    I really enjoyed this brewery. Every time I visit Denmark, I drink Carlsberg & Tuborg beers so it made sense to visit where it is made. This brewery focus a lot on the history of the brewery and the company similar to an Anheuser-Busch brewery tour, but there was beer to drink too. It was a fun departure from the other awesome stuff in Copenhagen. I recommend, if you have time.

    It was okay, and we enjoyed it enough. However, not quite a wow. When we found the place, which is tucked around the back of the main road and amongst the building sites and developing land, we got our wristbands (tickets). This place is included on the Copenhagen card. I loved the first room full of the bottles and didn't quite realise how massive carlsberg brand was! I mean I knew about the lager, but not all the other brews that have made. I always though Sommersby was an English cider..... The place takes you up and round, finishing up in the shop, where you can get 2 free drinks with your entrance, or 2 free gifts or a mix of both. We had a drink each and the free gift was a pin badge. It was fine to go and do, and I should imagine in the summer, you would stay around and sit outside in the gardens and have a drink in the sun. Off season, not so much. Worth going to.

For the purposes of tourists, only the royal section related to the monarchy is open for exploration. The ticket that you purchase depends on how many parts of the royal section you wish to visit: 1) Reception room - where the Queens holds meetings 2) Royal Stables - where the horses and carriages are held 3) Royal Kitchen - where the meals are prepared 4) Ruins - the ruins underneath the castle If you have more time, you can see all of them. For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.

Plus, the Danish royal family still uses parts of it for fancy events, so it's kind of like government offices + ancient history + royalty all stacked in one spot. Funny story. There's this extremely long dining table (see pics). You're not supposed to sit there but the tour guide said a family sat there to eat lunch one time.

Weather was very nice and comfortable temps. Our tour guide, Wayne (I believe was his name), was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.

    Charlotte Is Amazing…read more.. When my wife and I travel outside the US (about once a year), we enjoy learning about the Jewish connections in various areas. During early May of 2019, we stayed in Copenhagen for a few days before a cruise with another couple who frequently accompany us. After reading many positive reviews about tours offered by Jewish Copenhagen, the 4 of us signed up. Fortunately, our guide was the owner, Charlotte Thalmay, who is immensely knowledgeable about the history of the Jewish people in Scandinavia and other countries of Europe. Such a recitation of facts could easily have dulled the senses, but Charlotte kept the commentary entertaining with real-life stories, including her own, of the men and women who shaped events during the past 500-700 years. Just listening to Charlotte weave tales and put a human face on the dusty pages of history was worth the price of admission ($100 per person for around 4 hours. Normally, the cost is a bit higher. However, Charlotte brought along a trainee, Hannah, and lowered the price. To us, Hannah was a delightful addition so we would have paid the regular fee). Highlights of our tour were visits to the main synagogue and Jewish Museum near the Parliament building. The synagogue is attractive, well-maintained and even seems to boast of a religious school. The museum is relatively small, but showcased in a gorgeous setting and the story it describes of the Jewish people in Denmark packs a wallop. If you're visiting Copenhagen and have any interest in this community, we'd heartily recommend booking a tour with Charlotte.
