⭐ Core Definition: Frederiksberg

It is an independent municipality, Frederiksberg Municipality, separate from Copenhagen Municipality, but both are a part of the region of Copenhagen. It occupies an area of less than 9 km and had a population of 103,192 in 2015. It is the most densely populated municipality in Denmark.

Frederiksberg is an enclave surrounded by Copenhagen Municipality. Some sources ambiguously refer to Frederiksberg as a quarter or neighbourhood of Copenhagen, being one of the four municipalities in Copenhagen zone (the other three being Copenhagen, Tårnby and Dragør). However, Frederiksberg has its own mayor and municipal council, and is fiercely independent.

The metro operates 4 lines and operates 44 stations, 30 of which are underground. The M1 and M2 lines serve western and eastern Amager (including Copenhagen Airport) respectively, sharing a common line between the city centre and Vanløse. The M3 is a wholly underground circular line connecting Copenhagen Central Station with Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, Østerbro and Indre By. The most recent line, M4, supplements the M3 line and connects it to Nordhavn and Sydhavn, as well as Valby via Copenhagen South. The fifth line, M5, is currently in the planning stages and will serve Refshaleøen as well as the under-construction Lynetteholmen neighbourhood, with an expected opening date in 2035.
