It is a through station, not a terminus, and you’ll find trains fromBerlin, Cologne, Switzerland, and so on coming in from the south, while trains from Copenhagen and the nearby Hamburg Altona come in from the north. You can access the platforms from the main footbridge on the north end of the train station or the smaller footbridge on the south end. The station is very accessible, with escalators and steps provided for access to the footbridges and lifts between each platform. The station has around 75 shops and restaurants open all week, and travellers have plenty of options.
