Frederiksberg is a small green oasis in the heart of Copenhagen, with Frederiksberg Allé as one of its most beautiful streets. It stretches all the way from Frederiksberg Have to Vesterbrogade, lined with four rows of candelabra-trimmed linden trees and wide sidewalks on either side.
And right in the middle of it all is the metro station.
Here are five fun facts about Frederiksberg Allé.
1. Station rooms in beautiful shades of green
When you travel on the M3 line, the colors at the stations change along the way, as each station reflects the cityscape above ground, making it easy for you to keep track of where you are on your journey.
At Frederiksberg Allé, the large green linden trees have been brought down into the station, where the beautiful green colors adorn the walls of the station hall. Frederiksberg Allé is the only green station, so there’s no mistaking it.
The station is as green as the linden trees
2. Sparkling mirrored ceilings and art on the roof
Remember to look up as you ride the escalators up from the platform. The station square at Frederiksberg Allé is unlike any other. It features a dazzling ceiling with inverted pyramids that is definitely worth a visit in its own right.
Located above the metro station is Frederiksberg’s new urban hub, Frederiksberg Allé 41, designed by award-winning architects from COBE, who have tailored the architecture to complement the area’s elegant historic buildings.
On the roof, you can see the artwork Balance of Time by Jeppe Hein, which consists of a 700-kilogram mirrored sphere that slowly circles along the edge of the building’s roof. One full rotation takes exactly 60 minutes, so the artwork can be used as a clock.

3. Amusement Avenue
Historically, Frederiksberg Allé has been known as “The Avenue of Entertainment,” as it has long been the heart of the capital’s theater scene. Today, the street is home to two theaters: the young and modern Aveny-T and Betty Nansens Teatret, which presents new interpretations of old classics.
Not far from the Betty Nansen Theater, you’ll find Teaterflisen—the Danish equivalent of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame—where a new portrait of a prominent theater actor is embedded in the pavement each year. Most recently, it was Lise Baastrup (2023), Jytte Abildstrøm (2024), and Søren Østergaard (2025).
Every year, a theater actor is honored at the Teaterflisen Awards
4. Enjoy the atmosphere in Little Paris
Amid the linden trees on Frederiksberg Allé, you’ll find plenty of cozy cafés, specialty shops, and elegant 19th-century apartment buildings that help create that special Parisian atmosphere.
At one end, you’ll find Frederiksberg Runddel with the entrance to Frederiksberg Have, and as you stroll down Frederiksberg Allé, you can grab a coffee at cozy spots like Olivers Oase, Promenaden, or Jakobs Hjørne.
Shop for fine chocolate at Frederiksberg Chokolade, beautiful jewelry at WØN, and organic baby clothes at Aniel.
