These trains are loaded onto a ferry for the sea passage from Puttgarten to Rødby, and the total journey time is around 4.5 hours. There are also two train lines to Jutland from Hamburg, one via Padborg and the other via Tønder.
Trains run every twenty minutes from Malmö to Copenhagen. The total journey time is 35 minutes.

Weather: Denmark has a mild climate with no extremes of heat or cold. In the light summer months of June to August, the average daytime temperature is 19.5 degrees centigrade and in February - the coldest month - the average is 1.2 degrees centigrade. This makes Copenhagen's weather much more like London's or Amsterdam's than that of the other Scandinavian capitals.
The Danish weather is always changeable but rarely harsh. April and May are mild. June, July and August are usually warm and, on average, sunnier than England's. The autumn season is generally speaking pleasant, though cooler in temperature, and winter tends to be cool or even cold.

Travel Documentation and Custom Duty: For a tourist stay of up to three months, travelers require a valid passport. In addition to that, an entry or transit visa is required by some nationalities. Consult the Danish embassy or consulate in your home country for further information.
