Tours in Copenhagen |
The Royal Copenhagen Collection
Following the complete refurbishment of porcelain manufacturer Royal Copenhagen's flagship store at Amagertorv, a new museum, The Royal Copenhagen Collection, opened in March 2007 on the second floor of the beautiful old building, which dates back to 1616 and has been home to Royal Copenhagen since 1911. Visitors can follow the various stages of production, have the opportunity to hand-paint the famous patterns and experience the company's history through film, the written word and not least by a closer look at porcelain objects from the Royal Copenhagen vaults.

Carlsberg Visitors Centre & Carlsberg Museum
Carlsberg is, according to its own long-running marketing campaign, ‘probably the best lager in the world'. Whether or not visitors agree with that claim, the Visitors Centre is an intoxicating experience. The tour details the history of the brewery, as well as the modern processes of the brewery, with a route through the production plant. At the end, there's a chance to sample the finished product. There is also a Carlsberg Museum, rather more old-fashioned, but housed in a beautiful building dating back to 1882, where extensive exhibits relate more to the cultural and historical relevance of the family and the brewery.
