=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]] ===
On the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. To get to this spot take a regional train to Tärnby from Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of the road to Tärnby station. Not much space to stop but as traffic lights cars are going slow and get chance to think about it! Next to this spot, you can also ask drivers at the hypermarket, where a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning home. (probably not as common anymore since the strong danish krona have made it expensive for Swedes to shop in Denmark. Nowadays danish people go to Sweden to shop)
The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "lufthavn" and then go to the roundabout next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil (its left of the metro exit). Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop were the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place to hitchhike from. You will also be able to keep an eye on the gas station and hopefully spot some cars with Swedish plates from that place.. This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also the winning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competition.

An easier way to get to the same spot mentioned in option 1 is to take bus ''#A1 Avedøre'' to ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej''. There' you'll see the crossing to ''Folehaven'' which is the beginning of the motorway 21. Additionally you can take to following busses also going that direction. Make sure you get out at ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'': bus ''#10 Flintholm St.'', ''#133 Avedøre St.'', ''#65E Avedøre St.'' There's a petrol station some meters before the crossing. You'll also find a bus stop where you can stand on, or just pull out your thumb on the [[shoulder|hard shoulder]] next to the street. A sign saying the direction might be helpful. Keep in mind that traffic might be pretty fast here already, but nevertheless [[User:Platschi|platschi]] got rides here twice within 5 minutes. For this spot, see the image on the right.
===== Option 1b : =====
One way out of Copenhagen which we found quite quick was to catch the suburban train from Copenhagen Central Statio to Tärnby. There is an entrance to the E20 headed west there, on the same side of the road as the train station. There is not lots of space to stop but as there are traffic lights the cars are going slow and get chance to see you.
