Vesteliensgade is a rapid transit station in Metrozone 1 of the Rimso Letbane. The station serves its namesake, Vesteliensgade, and the immediate surrounding area, which is in the city's commercial centre. The station received almost 13 million passengers in 2021, making it the most-used station on the network. The station was designed by a team of four architects, and features a colourful display of lights on each of its four underground platforms, which illuminate the walls of the station. Vesteliensgade opened in 1975, and was one of the inaugural stops on the Letbane when it first opened.
The station itself lies near the side of what was to be the Vestliensgade underground station, part of the planned Rimso Underjordisk Jernbane. The tunnels around the station were dug as part of the planned network in the 1910s, but were refurbished in the 1970s before the Letbane opened.
