The station is constructed underneath Slotsholmen Canal. The main entrance faces Højbro Plads. The escalator is longer than those of the other stations. The walls are faced with a combination of glazed and unglazed pale, ceramic panels which, in combination with blue lighting, is supposed to evoke an underwater feeling.
