What are the four Copenhagen Metro lines M1, M2, M3 and M4?

Four lines, two pairs

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

The Copenhagen Metro has four lines. M1 runs from Vanløse to Vestamager through Ørestad, and M2 runs from Vanløse to Copenhagen Airport through Amager; the two share the stretch from Vanløse to Christianshavn. M3, called Cityringen, is a loop under the city centre, Østerbro, Nørrebro, Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. M4 runs from Orientkaj in Nordhavn through the centre to København Syd in Sydhavnen and Valby and shares stations and tracks with M3.

Why

  1. M1 and M2 share the western and central stretch.
  2. M3 is a closed loop.
  3. M4 uses part of the M3 tracks.

Details

You change between M1/M2 and M3/M4 at Kongens Nytorv and Frederiksberg.

Tip

Check the line number and the end station on the platform sign, as M1 and M2 leave from the same platforms in the centre.

What may differ

A new line M5 and an extension of M4 are planned, so the network map will change in the coming years.

Common misconception

Many think Cityringen (M3) also goes to the airport.

What actually happens

Only M2 goes to Copenhagen Airport; from M3 you change at Kongens Nytorv or Frederiksberg.
