Counts and change stations
Short answer
As of November 2026, M1 (Vanløse–Vestamager) has 15 stations and M2 (Vanløse–Copenhagen Airport) has 16. Cityringen M3 has 17 underground stations, and M4 (Orientkaj–København Syd) has 13. The lines share many stations: M1 and M2 run together from Vanløse to Christianshavn, and M4 uses M3 stations in the centre. Kongens Nytorv serves M1, M2, M3 and M4, and Frederiksberg serves M1, M2 and M3.
Why
- Kongens Nytorv is served by all four lines.
- Vanløse, Flintholm and Nørreport connect to S-trains.
- Ørestad and the airport connect to regional trains.
Details
København Syd on the M4 connects to trains for the capital region and the rest of the country.
Tip
When you change at Kongens Nytorv, check the line number and end station on the screens, as all four lines stop there.
What may differ
New stations will be added when the M4 extension and the M5 line open.
Common misconception
Some think København H is on the M1 and M2.
What actually happens
København H is served by M3 and M4; from M1 or M2 you change at Kongens Nytorv or Frederiksberg.
