DR Byen station on the M1
DR Byen is a Copenhagen Metro station on an elevated viaduct in Ørestad Nord, served by the M1. It opened in 2002 and sits in zones 1 / 3 of the regional fare system.
The large nature area Amager Fælled runs along the metro tracks and sends fresh air over DR Byen. DR is located on Emil Holms Kanal, and DR Byen has its very own postcode: 0999 Copenhagen C. From DR Byen Station there is access to DR’s concert hall, and not far away is the IT University. The area is urban, modern and very green all at the same time. It’s truly a city within a city.
On the M1, Islands Brygge is 2 minutes back down the line and Sundby is 2 minutes further on.
Trains call here 24 hours a day, every day of the year — every two minutes at rush hour, every three during the day and evening, and every 8 to 20 minutes overnight depending on the day of the week.
