Which metro line goes to Copenhagen Airport?
M2 to the airport
Short answer
Line M2, Vanløse–Københavns Lufthavn, is the metro line to Copenhagen Airport, where the station is at Terminal 3. It stops in the centre at Nørreport, Kongens Nytorv and Christianshavn and then crosses Amager. The M2 runs 24 hours a day: about every 2 minutes in rush hour, every 3 minutes at other times by day and at weekends, and every 8 to 20 minutes at night. At the airport you can also change to regional trains.
Why
- Only M2 serves the airport.
- Direct from Nørreport and Kongens Nytorv.
- Runs at night too.
Details
M1 trains also stop at Kongens Nytorv, so check that the train shows Københavns Lufthavn before you board.
Tip
From M3 or M4, change to M2 at Kongens Nytorv, or at Frederiksberg if you come from M3.
What may differ
Night frequency and planned works can affect airport trips, so check status on m.dk before an early flight.
Common misconception
Some travellers think the M1 also goes to the airport because it shares stations with M2.
What actually happens
M1 turns south to Ørestad and Vestamager after Christianshavn; only M2 goes to the airport.
