The short walk from the platform

Copenhagen is small and the Metro cuts across the middle of it, so sightseeing here rarely involves a long journey. Nyhavn, Strøget, Amalienborg, the Marble Church, Christiania, Tivoli and the harbour baths are all within a few minutes’ walk of a station.

The walking times below are the ones Metroselskabet publishes for each station, not our estimates. Every entry links to the station page, where you will find the platform layout, the fare zone and how long it takes to get there from anywhere else on the network.
