Marmorkirken station on the M3
Marmorkirken is a Copenhagen Metro station below ground in Frederiksstaden, served by the M3 and M4. It opened in 2019 and sits in zone 1 of the regional fare system.
Besides lying right by the church it is named after, Marmorkirken station sits in one of Copenhagen’s oldest quarters. Amalienborg Slotsplads, Langelinie and Kongens Have can all be reached on foot within minutes. Museums are plentiful in the neighbourhood as well: Designmuseum Danmark, the David Collection, the Amalienborg Museum and the Medical Museion are all nearby.
Down below, the station walls are lined with sand-coloured limestone panels whose warm golden tone was chosen to echo the grand houses at street level. If you look closely at the walls while waiting for a train, the stone reveals tiny fossils millions of years old, from petrified sea urchins to octopuses. Depth sets this station apart too: on its lowest platform, passengers are about 30 metres beneath the street, far below the church and the surrounding mansions.
On the M3, Kongens Nytorv is about 1 minute back down the line and Østerport is about 3 minutes further on.
Marmorkirken 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.
