The Copenhagen Metro boasts 39 stations, with 25 located underground and 14 above ground. These stations are spread across four lines: M1 (green), M2 (yellow), ring M3 (red), and M4 (blue). Covering a distance of 36 km, the metro network efficiently connects various parts of the city.

During peak hours (07:00–10:00 and 15:00–18:00), expect trains every 2 to 4 minutes, while off-peak hours see intervals of 3 to 6 minutes. Nighttime travelers can rely on train availability every 15 to 30 minutes from midnight to 5 am.
