Carlsberg Visitors Centre
While Denmark's largest and most famous beer producer has moved production from this historic location, to a modern facility in the provinces, it is still possible to visit the old brewery, and small scale production of speciality beers are still taking place here. Many of the buildings are quite striking, the stables for the famous horse drawn Carlsberg carriages are still open and functioning, and last but not least it is home to the worlds largest collection of beers bottled.
Museum of Copenhagen
Covers Copenhagen history, past and present. There are four permanent collections covering different periods of the city's history, as well as special exhibitions relating to the subject. There is a model of mediaeval Copenhagen outside, which is free to see.
Ãksnehallen
Old cattle market turned exhibition hall, in the up and coming Kødbyen sub district see section below. Various changing exhibitions. The website schedule is unfortunately in Danish only.
Saying Vesterbro is teeming with attractions would be pushing it by awide margin, and indeed the districts most famous attraction is possiblythe sorry remains of the once numerous porn shops, dating back from thehey-days of Danish liberalism, when the country was the first in theworld to formally legalize pornography in 1967, and Istedgade was thecentre of the madness. These days it is probably not so interesting unless you have special interest in the subject, and visitors should turn their attention to the districts shopping and night-life instead, which is the real attraction here, and may however, appropriately be kicked off with a visit to the only star attraction on offer, the famous Carlsberg brewery.
Olga's Lyst
Small museum of toys and dolls, dating all the way back to 1840 and up to 1930s.
