The history
For several years it has been possible to whistle through the city of Copenhagen by Metro.
The first section opened in October 2002 – from Nørreport to Vestamager and Lergravsparken. In May 2003, the stretch from Nørreport to Frederiksberg opened, and from October it was possible to travel by Metro all the way to Vanløse. That year also saw the start of work on the third stage out to the airport, and the East Amager line opened for passenger traffic on 28 September this year, when Crown Prince Frederik cut the red ribbon at Lufthavnen Station.
A completely new Metro extension is now under way. The route will run underground and will have 17 stations and will cover major parts of the city centre as well as the Østerbro, Nørrebro, and Vesterbro districts and the Municipality of Frederiksberg currently not covered by S-train or Metro line service.
