Home of Carlsberg
Welcome to the Home of Carlsberg! At Home of Carlsberg, you step inside an iconic area with an exhibition and attraction in the heart of Carlsberg's original brewery.

5.00We spent over 3 hours on the tour, which was educational and professionally presented, as well as being fun with the interactive elements, and in my opinion, great value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history, processes, and science behind brewing. And the free beer at the end was a refreshing end to an excellent experience.
Self-guided brewery tour worth a visit

5.00The history & videos of the founders were really great & very interesting. The first half of the tour was really good, the branding was a little less interesting for us, although very informative in you are interested in that. The connection with Liverpool FC was great to see. Walking through the original brewery & learning about the lives of the workers was also really interesting. The interactive area was fun!! We spent 90 minutes in the exhibit & the received a free beer in the bar.
Even if Carlsberg isn’t your favourite tipple then still go.

5.00Really well thought through experience telling the history of Carlsberg. Interactive and entertaining. We left two hours to do the experience and could have taken longer, although other people seemed to go faster. Did the extra beer tasting session which was definitely worth it.

5.00Whilst its not close to the city, it is easily accessible using the metro and inexpensive. Its then a short walk although google maps will be your friend. Area is safe and you get to see neighbourhoods you would miss. Definitely book in advance, seamless process on arrival. I won't spoil any of it but 100% recommend especially if you like lager. Been to the Heineken brewery in Amsterdam Guiness Storehouse in Dublin and this was just as good
Enjoyable visit
