Best time of day to visit
You should allow around 1½ hours for a complete tour. Arriving in the morning means there is more time to lose yourself in our history. Afternoons in the high season can be very busy and you may have to queue.
Bookings
You do not need to book ahead if you come on your own or in a small group (less than 15 people). But if your group is more than 15 people, you should make a booking in order to get a group discount. Only groups with reservations can get the group discount. To book a visit - click here
Brochures
In our reception we have brochures in Danish, English and Swedish.
However, it is possible to download brochures in the following languages (click on a flag to download).
Children & young people (under the age of 18)
Danish law states you should be at least 18 before we can serve you alcohol. You also need to be 18 before you can buy beer from the souvenir shop. Children and young people under the age of 18 can only visit Carlsberg accompanied by an adult.

About 10 years ago, Carlsberg abandoned the tradition of guided tours. Today, we give each guest a map that indicates the recommended route to follow with a system of numbers. (Download the map here)
