Highlights of the year 2024

Posted: 7. januar 2025
We would like to thank you all for another fantastic year with the Metro! 2024 has been filled with great events in Copenhagen that we have celebrated together. Watch or re-watch the five biggest ones here.

Change of Throne Day

Sunday 14 January was the day of the change of throne that united all of Denmark. After 52 years, Queen Margrethe stepped down as Denmark's regent and handed over the throne to Crown Prince Frederik.

More than 300,000 Danes turned up, and the Metro quickly transported everyone between the change of throne, tribute show and carriage rides.

Opening of the Sydhavn Metro

On 22 June 2024, Copenhagen became even more connected with the extension of the M4 to Sydhavn and Valby. 

The five new stations were inaugurated with a big street party and opening ceremony with HM the King, and now you can also take the Metro to Copenhagen Syd, Mozarts Plads, Sluseholmen, Enghave Brygge and Havneholmen.

The M3 line's 5th anniversary

In September, the M3 line celebrated half a decade of efficient and climate-friendly transport in the centre of the capital.

Since 2019, the M3 line has connected the city centre with Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro and Østerbro.

3 x passenger record

2024 was also the year with the most passengers travelling on the Metro in one month. 

We set a record not just once, but three times - in September, October and again in November with 11.8 million passengers. This means that almost all Danes used the Metro twice in November.

STRØM Festival

On Saturday 24 August, Strøm Festival once again transformed a metro train into one big party, bringing music and energy to your travels.

The windows fogged and the energy boiled as the Trans Metro Express rolled through the city - packed with speakers, synthesisers and electronic artists.
