Ørestad station on the M1
Ørestad is a Copenhagen Metro station on an elevated viaduct in Ørestad, served by the M1. It opened in 2002 and sits in zone 3 of the regional fare system.
You can’t say Ørestad without also saying Field’s. It is Scandinavia’s largest shopping centre with a myriad of stores. Ørestad is a new district characterised by modern, innovative architecture for both residential and commercial use. Among the buildings is Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, the first CO2-neutral hotel building in Denmark. I Not far from the station you will also find Copenhagen’s new multifunctional arena, Royal Arena, which since its opening in 2017 has already hosted many of the world’s greatest artists and provided the setting for major sporting events such as the World Handball and Ice Hockey Championships.
On the M1, Bella Center is 2 minutes back down the line and Vestamager 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.
