Not always empty

 

The Copenhagen metro is not always as empty as this. There's usually a fair amount of people onboard hence the shift to less seatings and more standing room. These driverless trains are often the fastest way of crossing Copenhagen if one of the only two lines run near you and your destination. As told before the third line, which is under construction, will be a very needed addition to the system when it's ready in 2018.

Not to be seen this summer

Unlike last summer Kongens Nytorv is a construction site until further notice. Tourists will have to cope with the building of the new metro system until 2018 even though the square is due to be cleared of construction equipment before then. Buildings facing the square include the Charlottenborg Palace from 1671, the Thott Palace from 1683 (now the French Embassy), and the Royal Danish Theater from 1874. -RS
