Meet halfway in Copenhagen
For a group meeting in Copenhagen, the fairest points are usually Nørreport, Kongens Nytorv, København H or Frederiksberg - interchanges most of the city reaches with one change at most. Which one is fairest depends on where everyone starts: togather times each person door to door and finds the spots where nobody is stuck with a much longer trip.

- S-tog

Where groups actually meet in Copenhagen
Interchanges that work as a fair midpoint for most groups. togather will not always land on one of these - it answers for your actual starting points - but they are the ones that come up again and again.
Nørreport
M1 and M2 metro, every S-tog line through the centre and regional trains
The busiest station in Denmark and the most connected point in the city, so it is the fair default when the group is spread across both the metro and the S-tog.
Kongens Nytorv
M1, M2, M3 and M4 metro
The one stop all four metro lines share, which makes it the fair answer for a group that lives on the metro rather than the S-tog, with Nyhavn a short walk away.
København H
S-tog, regional and intercity trains, M3 and M4 metro
Central Station, and the fair pick when someone is arriving by train from outside the city or from Malmö, with Vesterbro and Tivoli right outside.
Frederiksberg
M1, M2 and M3 metro
Where the City Circle line meets the M1 and M2, so it keeps a group from Frederiksberg, Valby and Vanløse out of the centre entirely.
Østerport
S-tog, regional trains, M3 and M4 metro
The northern interchange, fairer than the centre for a group living around Østerbro, Hellerup and the northern suburbs along the S-tog.
Christianshavn
M1 and M2 metro
The first stop across the harbour, which makes it the fair answer when part of the group comes from Amager, Ørestad or the airport side.
Flintholm
M1 and M2 metro and three S-tog lines
A western interchange where the metro crosses the S-tog ring line, so a group from the western suburbs can meet without going into the city at all.
How to pick a fair meeting point in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is compact and flat, and a lot of the city cycles. That changes the question. For a group that is all on bikes, the fair spot is close to the map midpoint. For a group that mixes bikes with the metro and the S-tog, it usually isn’t, because the rail network bends travel times around a few key stations.
Nørreport and Kongens Nytorv answer most group questions because they join the most lines. Nørreport links the metro with every S-tog line through the centre; Kongens Nytorv is the one stop all four metro lines share.
Across the water and out west
The harbour splits the city. A group with people on Amager or in Ørestad is often better served by Christianshavn, one stop across the water, than by anything in the old town. Out west, Flintholm and Frederiksberg let a group meet without travelling into the centre at all.
Because cyclists, walkers and metro riders move at different speeds, the fairest spot for a mixed group is rarely where a single mode would put it. togather times each person on the mode they actually use and returns the spots where nobody is stuck with a much longer trip.
Add everyone’s starting point, set how each person travels, and send the result to the group chat.
Meeting halfway in Copenhagen - questions
- Where is a fair place to meet halfway in Copenhagen?
- Usually Nørreport or Kongens Nytorv, because they join the most lines, but Frederiksberg, Østerport or Christianshavn may be fairer depending on where the group lives. togather compares real travel times to work out which.
- Isn't cycling faster than public transport in Copenhagen?
- Often, for short trips. Copenhagen's cycle lanes make a bike competitive with the metro inside the city, so togather lets you set cycling per person and times each person on their own mode before picking a spot.
- Can a group mix bikes, metro and walking?
- Yes, and in Copenhagen that is the normal case. You set the mode per person, so cyclists, metro riders and walkers are each timed on their own route, and the fair spot reflects how the group actually travels.
