Orientkaj station on the M4
Orientkaj is a Copenhagen Metro station on an elevated viaduct in Nordhavn, served by the M4. It opened in 2020 and sits in zone 1 of the regional fare system.
If you get off at Orientkaj, you land in the centre of a part of the city that is still undergoing rapid development. Several companies have already moved in or added an additional address in the area, and in the coming years, development will continue further up in Nordhavn, which may eventually be served by more The Metro. Although the area is still characterised by the port-related industry that has been its hallmark for more than 100 years, you can already see a whole new part of Copenhagen beginning to take shape.
Orientkaj also offers great sea views directly from both the platform and the train, as the station is built right next to the harbour, which runs along the street the station is named after. You’ll also find the harbour bus terminal at Orientkaj right next to the metro station, which during the daytime makes it possible to enjoy the view right next to the water.
On the M4, Nordhavn is 1 minute further on.
This is the end of the M4. Trains reverse here, so you can always get a seat if you board at Orientkaj.
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.
