Hurray! The M4 line to Sydhavn turns 1 year

Posted: 1. juli 2025Reading time: 4 min.
On 22 June 2024, Copenhagen got five new metro stations in Sydhavnen - and they have been very well received with millions more travellers than expected. We met three passengers at Mozarts Plads who tell us about their experiences with the new Metro.

The M4 to Sydhavn is 5.7 kilometres long and runs from København H to København Syd. The five new stations are København Syd, Mozarts Plads, Sluseholmen, Enghave Brygge and Havneholmen.

Mozarts Plads in Sydhavnen is bustling with people strolling through the colourful flowerbeds, chatting on the benches or slipping down the stairs to the metro station - one of the five new stations on the M4 that celebrates its first birthday on Sunday 22 June.

The first year has exceeded expectations with 5.8 million passengers on the new metro line. This corresponds to an average of approximately 17,600 passengers on weekdays at the five new stations, which is approximately 80% more than expected.

The metro has done a lot for my neighbourhood, which has attracted many more tourists. I myself have a season ticket to Parken, where I watch FCK every weekend, and now I can get there and back really quickly, so I don't have to be away from my children for so long.

The metro has made it much quicker for me to get out and visit my sweet mum who lives down here in Haveforeningen. I also often go to BK Frem matches - and the beer and coffee are just a little cheaper out here in Sydhavnen, so it's great that it's become so easy.

It's the first time I'm travelling with the M4 to Sydhavnen today, where we've gone around to see the art. It's impressive and there's art everywhere. I'm particularly fascinated by the artwork with the planets on København Syd - it's some of the most beautiful art I've seen.
