Overview
This isn’t your typical architecture tour.
We’ll take you beyond the usual sights of Copenhagen to explore Carlsberg Byen, tucked inside the vibrant Vesterbro neighborhood. It’s a story of bold architecture, historic breweries, scientific innovations, and one unforgettable family feud.
Sustainability Meets Story
Carlsberg Byen is a living case study in urban regeneration and sustainable design. You’ll learn how climate resilience is literally built into the streets, with basketball courts that double as rainwater basins and parks that hold floods. Old factories become hotels. Bricks are reused. Towers go up where tanks once stood. And the story? It's still being written.
Highlights of the tour:
The iconic Elephant Gate 7 km of underground brewery tunnels.
The Hanging Gardens, Yeast Tower, and more.
A father-son drama that reshaped Copenhagen’s skyline.
Quiet courtyards, strange towers, and sculptural secrets you won’t find on other tours.
