Construction and Cityringen
The first phase of the Copenhagen Metro was opened in 2002 and 2003. Back then the two Metro lines ran from Vanløse to Vestamager and Lergravsparken.
The third phase opened in September 2007 as an extension of the existing line which until then terminated at Lergravsparken station. The completion of the third phase means, that you can now take the Metro all the way to Copenhagen Airport in Kastrup. A trip from the City centre of Copenhagen to the airport takes only 14 minutes.
Cityringen - The fourth Metro phase in Copenhagen
The fourth phase of the Metro, called Cityringen, is expected to open in 2018. The new line 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.
