What to expect

Join this beerlicious tour and venture into what used to be the roughest neighborhood in Copenhagen: Vesterbro. Once the land of drugs, porn and prostitution, today it is one of the city’s trendiest districts and one of the best places to find a good beer.

You will start the Vesterbro neighbourhood tour with a visit to one of the few traditional bodegas still standing that has not been completely overrun by newcomers to the area. Here you will enjoy a beer in a familiar Danish atmosphere and talk about its importance for the locals who have lived in the neighbourhood all their life.

From there you will make your way up one of the most famous streets in Denmark, where you will hear stories of the Vesterbro of the past. You will learn the drama-filled story of two siblings who had a knack for beer, which they turned into a hugely popular beer brand that resonates so well with the city’s contemporary way of life.

As you move on, you will experience one of the city’s amazing parks and understand its importance to the neighbourhood. You will also be introduced to one of the local breakfast secrets that you just must try. The tour ends at one of the locals’ favorite additions to the Copenhagen bar scene that mixes the homely and the new golden craft brew. You can stay here as long as you like, but if you feel like exploring further your guide is happy to share dinner recommendations as there are many excellent places just around the corner.
