Home of Carlsberg is included on both cards. Adult entry is €29 (215 DKK) without one, and it is closed on Mondays. Card holders should pre-book a time slot.
Both cards cover the exhibition ticket, and that ticket includes a drink. The tasting experiences on top of it are not covered.
The original brewery in the district it built, reopened after a long rebuild. Allow two hours, and note the entry cut-off before you plan the afternoon.
The 19th-century plant that J.C. Jacobsen built and his son expanded, kept as architecture rather than converted out of recognition — the reason the whole Carlsberg City District looks the way it does.
The Jacobsens' story, which runs from brewing into science and art patronage — the same money that founded the Carlsberg Laboratory also built Glyptoteket, a card attraction on the other side of town.
The bottle collection runs to more than 22,000 and is one of the largest in the world. Out in the stable are the brewery horses, which visitors consistently name as the part they did not expect — some arrive while the harnessing is going on.
A 40cl draft beer, soda or water, included in the ticket rather than sold separately. It is the natural end of the visit and the reason to leave time rather than rushing the last room.
One booking step that is specific to card holders, and one cut-off that will cost you the visit if you miss it. Confirmed against homeofcarlsberg.com.
Gamle Carlsberg Vej, in the Carlsberg City District about ten minutes out from the centre. Entry is on both cards; the journey is only on one.
It covers Home of Carlsberg along with 80+ other attractions and all public transport.
Only going here? The card pays for itself across several attractions, not one. If Home of Carlsberg is the only thing on your list, a single ticket is the cheaper buy.
All three are included on the same card, so the only cost of adding them is the time. For the full list, see every attraction the Copenhagen Card covers.
A drained Victorian reservoir under Søndermarken, dripping and pitch dark, given over to one large installation at a time. Cold underground even in August.
One of Europe's oldest zoos, with the Arctic Ring polar bear tunnel and Norman Foster's Elephant House. Open every day of the year.
Devoted to Robert Storm Petersen, the cartoonist most Danes grew up with, and to humour and satire more broadly. Small and easy to fit in.
Entry is €29 per adult (215 DKK) without a card, and the ticket includes a 40cl drink. Both cards include it, along with 80+ more attractions and unlimited public transport.
The exhibition ticket is free on both the Discover and Hop cards, and it includes a 40cl Carlsberg draft beer, soda or water. Adult admission without a card is €29 (215 DKK). The beer tasting and cellar tour are separate paid add-ons at 120–140 DKK.
Home of Carlsberg closes on Mondays, all year. Opening is Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Copenhagen Zoo, a walk away through Frederiksberg, opens every day of the year and is the obvious Monday substitute in this part of town.
Pre-booking is recommended here, unlike most card venues. Home of Carlsberg sends Copenhagen Card holders to a dedicated booking link to secure a time slot. Note also that entry to the exhibition must be at least two hours before closing.
One scan per attraction is the rule on every card type, so Home of Carlsberg can be visited once. Leaving and coming back the same day means buying a separate ticket at the door. Plan the visit as a single stretch rather than splitting it across a day.
Book a slot through the dedicated Copenhagen Card link the venue provides, then show the live QR code in the app on arrival. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan.
