Carlsberg Visitor Centre

Carlsberg is one of the largest breweries in the world. It was founded by Christian Jacobsen in 1801 but when Christian’s son, Jacob, moved it to the borders of Valby and Frederiksberg in 1847 he renamed the brewery after his son Carl (Carlsberg means ‘Carl’s Hill’). Soon the company was producing over a million bottles a year, and donating millions of kroner to museums and foundations in Denmark. The recently renovated Carlsberg Visitor Centre offers an entertaining journey through the beer-making process and the story of Carlsberg’s global success, with a beer or two at the end included in the price.
