The station serves the eastern part of the district of Østerbro, as well as the harbour area of Nordhavn. The station is by the lines A, H, B, C, and E of the Copenhagen S-train network and line M4 of the Copenhagen Metro network. The S-train station opened in 1934, and the metro station opened in 2020.

History

Nordhavn station was opened on 15 May 1934 simultaneously with the opening of the S-train service on the Boulevard Line between Østerport station and Copenhagen Central Station also known as Røret (literally: the tube).

In 2006 the station was rebuilt. The existing shop and DSB ticket office were merged into a new 7-Eleven shop that is located just inside the station entrance.

The metro station opened on 28 March 2020 with the opening of the M4-line of the Copenhagen Metro.
