Frederiksberg station on the M1
Frederiksberg is a Copenhagen Metro station below ground in central Frederiksberg, served by the M1, M2 and M3. It opened in 2003 and sits in zones 1 / 2 of the regional fare system.
Frederiksberg actually has two metro stations side by side. The older one, served by the M1 and M2, lies beside the Frederiksberg Centre shopping centre; the second was added when the M3 Cityring opened, turning the location into a link between the circle line and the rest of the network. An underground walkway joins the two, so changing lines takes very little time. Inside the newer station, the walls are faced with grey Norwegian slate. The same material appears at Kongens Nytorv, and in both places it signals that passengers can transfer from the M3 to other metro lines.
On the M1, Fasanvej is 1 minute back down the line and Forum is 2 minutes further on.
Frederiksberg 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.
