Forum station on the M1
Forum is a Copenhagen Metro station below ground in Frederiksberg, served by the M1 and M2. It opened in 2003 and sits in zone 1 of the regional fare system.
Station is named after the large experience centre Forum, which is located right next to the metro station. The metro station is located where Frederiksberg meets Nørrebro. It’s a stone’s throw to the Lakes, and you can quickly get to Blågårdsgade’s cosy café life and small shops. The Forum used to be the festive backdrop for the Copenhagen six-day cycling race and has since been used for concerts, fairs and much more.
Opposite the Metro station you’ll find the listed Radiohuset, which used to belong to DR, but now houses the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Not far from the station are several educational institutions such as Copenhagen Technical College, Niels Brock Business School and Frederiksberg Campus, also known as Landbohøjskolen, whose large university garden is definitely worth a visit.
On the M1, Frederiksberg is 2 minutes back down the line and Nørreport is 1 minute further on.
Forum is an interchange: the lines meet inside one station, so changing between them means walking across a platform or riding one escalator — there is nothing to tap again and nothing more to pay.
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.
