Islands Brygge station on the M1
Islands Brygge is a Copenhagen Metro station below ground in Islands Brygge, served by the M1. It opened in 2002 and sits in zone 1 of the regional fare system.
Between the popular summer harbour promenade Islands Brygge, the University of Copenhagen Amager, DR Byen and the northernmost part of Amager Fælled lies Islands Brygge Station. Students at the University of Copenhagen use the station all year round to get to and from their studies, and during the summer months the station is especially popular when Copenhageners want to go swimming and get hungry for ice cream. Also located close to the station are the cubic Bikuben and the circular Tietgenskollegium, both examples of the innovative, experimental architecture that has become part of the Copenhagen cityscape.
On the M1, Christianshavn is 2 minutes back down the line and DR Byen 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.
