Are Copenhagen Metro stations wheelchair accessible?
Lifts and flex areas
Short answer
Yes, all Copenhagen Metro stations have lifts, so you can get from the street to the platform without stairs. Every train has a flex area with space for wheelchairs, prams and bicycles. On M3 and M4 every station has more than one lift, while some M1 and M2 stations have only one. Yellow call points on the stations and in the trains connect you directly to the control room if you need help.
Why
- Lift at every station.
- Flex area in every train.
- Call points for help.
Details
Lift outages are shown on m.dk and on the departure screens for the line.
Tip
Check lift status on m.dk before you leave, especially at stations with only one lift.
What may differ
Lifts are sometimes out of service for repairs, and the affected stations change over time.
Common misconception
Many think wheelchair users need to book help in advance to use the metro.
What actually happens
The metro has lifts at every station and a flex area in every train for wheelchairs, so you can just travel.
