Pick two stations and see the route, the changes, how many minutes it takes and which ticket you need.

How this planner works
Every riding time here comes from the operator’s own published journey times, station by station, rather than from an assumed average speed. When a route needs a change of line the planner adds a realistic wait — half the current headway on the line you are changing to, so a 2-minute rush-hour service costs you about a minute and a night service costs more.
It covers the Metro only. For a door-to-door journey that includes buses, S-trains and walking, use Rejseplanen, the national planner.
Because the Metro runs 24 hours a day, there is no “last train” to miss — the planner will always find you a route, it just takes longer in the small hours when trains are 8 to 20 minutes apart.
Tips for getting around Copenhagen by metro
Sit at the front
There is no driver and no cab — the front window looks straight down the tunnel. It is the best free ride in Copenhagen and children are transfixed by it.
Check the line, not just the platform
M1 and M2 share tracks from Vanløse to Christianshavn, and M3 and M4 share the central tunnel. The same platform serves two different lines, so read the front of the train.
Do not look for a timetable
The platform screens count down the minutes to the next two trains. During the day you will never wait more than three.
Airport runs are easy at any hour
The M2 to the airport runs all night. An 05:30 flight is a metro ride, not a taxi fare.
Travel after 11am if you pay as you go
Outside rush hour, 20%% comes off automatically. Rush hour is 07:00–09:00 and 14:00–18:00 on weekdays only.
Bikes are welcome but need a ticket
A DKK 15 bicycle ticket, and avoid the end carriages at the busiest times.
