Sluseholmen station on the M4

Sluseholmen is a Copenhagen Metro station below ground in Sluseholmen, Sydhavn, served by the M4. It opened in 2024 and sits in zone 1 of the regional fare system.

When you get off at Sluseholmen station, you’re right between water and road. If you want to enter the islet itself, you can either walk across the footbridge or follow the road along the row of new buildings. Cosy cafés and delicious restaurants are hidden all around Sluseholmen, and if the sun is high in the sky, you can make your way past the delicious harbour bath, where the view is adorned by beautiful nature on the other side of the lock and a clear view up through Sydhavnen, which the district is named after.

If you just can’t get enough of the harbour or nature, the trip in the other direction from the station offers opportunities to experience much more of both. Many roads lead to Amager, and from Sluseholmen it’s possible to walk to Fiskerihavnen, where you’ll find a long promenade with great views leading you directly over the bridge. If you stay in Sydhavn, you can visit the sheep and alpacas on Sydhavnstippen, follow the path to the tip by the water or walk all the way to Valbyparken, which is a direct extension of Sydhavnstippen.

The walk is both long and beautiful, and it starts a few minutes from the station at Sluseholmen. For the station, artist René Schmidt has created a concrete beam with embedded structures inspired by the sea and an eight-metre-long steel sculpture that reflects the light in the station room and adds an extra experience to the escalator ride.

On the M4, Enghave Brygge is 2 minutes back down the line and Mozarts Plads 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.
