Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Carlsberg City is the very place where the beer that made Denmark famous was born. The place where a dramatic family saga and a history of entrepreneurship, pioneering risks and an unstoppable faith in the future came together.
On the tour, I will tell you how Carlsberg was created, because of what quarrel the founder of the brand Jacob Jacobsen stopped communicating with his son and even divided the business. You will learn the story of the famous elephants at the entrance to Carlsberg City, you will understand why one of the brand's symbols is a swastika, and also you'll see what is happening to the famous buildings today, when most of the production has moved to Jutland.

Carlsberg City
Today, strolling through this area, we can trace the father-son relationship through architecture. We can see how different they were – not just in business, but in life – the different buildings they commissioned, their varied decorating styles, their contrasting hobbies, and so on. We will go through the historical part of the district and afterwards it would be possible to see the modern Carlsberg architecture and to learn more about how the modern Danes live here, what the price for the local apartments, what type of social housing is places here, etc.
