Things to Do in Copenhagen
Copenhagen has a rich history as a great city on the edge of the Baltic. It grew from a small fishing village to the capital of Denmark, surviving fire, plague, invasion, and just about everything in between. Today, Copenhagen is known as a capital of culture, a center for design and experimentation, a place for foodies, and a land of fairy tales. Join our grand tour to hear how Copenhagen became the fantastic city it is today. Learn about the founding father of the city, the best place to get Danish smørrebrød, and why Danes are called the happiest people in the world!

Stroll over the beautiful Inner Harbour Bridge and hear stories of all the things that would go in a typical Scandinavian film noir: suicide, shipping magnates and socialism.

So if you have an appetite for the curious and the creative, and you want to learn all about the area of Christiania and its inhabitants (–including a troll!) then this tour will be right up your alley.

Come discover the secrets that were hidden behind the walls: their importance, fall, rebirth and present day. On this tour you will be able to see buildings of imposing beauty such as the Round Tower or Rosenborg Palace, you will hear the story of the most rockstar king that Denmark has ever had and you will have the opportunity to buy delicious local food at our Torvehallerne market.
This isn’t your typical architecture tour.
We’ll take you beyond the usual sights to explore Carlsberg Byen, tucked inside Copenhagen’s vibrant Vesterbro district. It’s a story of bold architecture, groundbreaking beer, climate innovation — and one unforgettable family feud.
We’ve spent the last 12 years showing people the real Copenhagen — beyond the postcards and tourist-packed streets.
On this story-driven walking tour through Carlsberg Byen, we uncover a lesser-known part of the city where historic breweries, world-class architecture, and a bitter family feud built something far bigger than beer.
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
Walk under the iconic Elephant Gate
Touch historic and modern brickwork
See Copenhagen’s rainwater park system
Discover 7 km of secret brewery tunnels
Meet the Jacobsen family behind Carlsberg
Explore towers, gardens, and hidden courtyards
