Metro

Small but perfectly formed

Talk of the town: The City Circle Line is under construction and due to open in 2018. Circling the city centre, the new line will connect Østerbro, Nørrebro and Vesterbro to Frederiksberg and Indre By.
With only two lines and 22 stations - nine of which are shared - Copenhagen's Metro system isn't hard to get to grips with. It also runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, uses hi-tech driverless trains, and is fast and efficient - little wonder it was crowned the world's best Metro system in 2010.

It's a shame that, because the city centre is so well suited to walking and cycling, most visitors use the metro only to get to and from the airport (an easy 14 minute journey on the M2 line).
A single-ride, two-zone ticket costs DKK 24 and a 10-ride, two-zone pass DKK 145. A single-ride ticket from the airport to the city centre costs DKK 36. Tickets are available from vending machines at every station and the airport, and stations are marked at street level by a blue 'M' sign.
