'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} Copenhagen''' (Danish: '''København''') is the capital of [[Denmark]].

=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], [[Gothenburg]] ===On There are 2 ways to go to Sweden from Copenhagen, one being across the road bridge to Malmöand one being north to Helsingør and then with the ferry to Helsingborg. If you choose the option towards Malmö then use one of the options below. If you're hitchhiking from Germany or elsewhere in Denmark, leading it's probably easier to first get to the bridgeairport and then find a ride going into Sweden, you might be able rather than trying to hitch get a direct ridefrom before Copenhagen. ==== Option 1: Kastrup Airport ====The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "Lufthavnen / Copenhagen Airport", leave the terminal on the other side of the metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the end, next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil. Next 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 this keep an eye on the petrol station and hopefully spot some cars with Swedish plates from that place. This hitchhiking spot, you can has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also ask drivers at the hypermarketwinning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competition. If you are in a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmö, where since it could be difficult to catch a lot ride along the motorway. Always try to stay out of Swedes go shopping before returning homeMalmö's motorway network and if possible prefer to follow your driver into Malmö center if there's no other alternative. It's much better to hitchhike Malmö's good spot (probably not as common anymore since McDonalds at Stockholmsvägen) than the strong danish krona have made it expensive for Swedes highway system. If you want to shop travel further up in Sweden you should check out the advices given in Denmarkthe Sweden(Malmö)section.. Nowadays danish people go  Under the airport there's a train station with trains going to Hyllie station and then to other stations in Malmo, so use it if it's the only option left. There might be a ticket check on the train, so if you're like me, you risk facing a giant fine, but in my case luckily a cute girl checking tickets did nothing. They check your ID when you enter the station in Copenhagen and when you exit in Sweden due to shop)the immigration issues.

The best spot ==== Option 2: Tårnby ==== On the road to Malmö, leading to hitchhike the bridge, you might be able to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airporthitch a ride. Take the metro To get to this spot take a regional train to the Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station "lufthavn" and then go . The slip road to the roundabout next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil (its left bridge is on the opposite side of the metro exit)road to Tårnby station. Just after the roundabout there is a bus Not much space to stop were the but as traffic lights cars are able stop, which makes going slow and get chance to think about it a good place to hitchhike from. !  ==== Option 3: Sydhavn ==== You will can also be able take a train to keep an eye Sydhavn, only 2 stops after the main station and hitch on Sydhavnsgade. We hitched before the gas shell service station because it was a weekend and hopefully spot some cars a business carpark entry was closed. We also saw people with Swedish plates from that placea sign just after shell.Its a good road. This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also  ==== Malmö ring road for those heading north toward [[Gothenburg]] or [[Stockholm]]==== Bear in mind that the winning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competitionring road has no good places for hitchhike on it. If you There are in a hurry few on ramps with gasstations but at all of them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, ofcourse you shouldn't accept rides will always find a ride somehow. One option that can work well is if you are shorter than Malmöheading further north and get a ride towards Lund (20 km from the highway) it is possible to accept the rideoffer to Lund and get dropped of in the northwest end of Lund and hitchhhiing north west from Lund back to the highway. This works really well and quickly in comparison to the ringroad onramps.  === North towards [[Helsingør]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], , [[Gothenburg]] === Another option for going to Sweden is heading north to Helsingør and catching the 20 minute ferry to Helsingborg from there. Take bus 4A and get off at Vibenshus Runddel. On Lyngbyvej the cars have lots of space to stop, and the road becomes a highway shortly after. There is not at lot of traffic on the small on-ramps on the way to Helsingör, since it could be difficult so try to catch get a ride along all the motorwayway from Copenhagen to Helsingör. A sign might be of use.If It cost around 29 kr. (3,90 euro) to walk on the ferry, but you want can hitchhike a ride onto the ferry, often finding a direct ride to Gothenburg or Stockholm (It seems that most of the people Go to travel further up Gothenburg If they take this ferry) , by standing in Sweden you should check out front of the ticket booth with a sign of your destination. the advices given cars pay for 9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you for free onto the Sweden(Malmö)sectionferry.Still Valid 2022.

There are several ways of getting out of Copenhagen . Just make sure you do not get stuck at Køge. If you do get stuck at Køge, your best bet is the Tesla Supercharger Station behind the gas station, or at the top of the on ramp immediately east of the last roundabout. Heading west you have the following options: ==== Option 1: ==== Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at ''Ny Ellebjerg'' station. Walk through the little alley on the south side of the station called 'Pylestikket'. Turn right on the main road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach the road ''Folehaven''. There you'll see a few traffic lights to slow down the cars. Cross the road and there's and plenty of space for cars to pull over. If you don There's even a new official hitchhiking stop ("Blafferstoppested") close to ''Folehaven 84''t have any luck along the road keep walking , but there are only few cars passing by. So better walk pass it a few hundred metres meters and you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21(there is a traffic light, so the cars are slow) or try one of the many busstops.[[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced that this option is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]]).  If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind the traffic light to the hard shoulder where the motorway begins. In case they are not going in the direction, where you want, ask them if they can drop you off at Karlslunde petrol station - a good petrol station, before the highway splits south and west.  ===== Option 1a =====

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 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 ===== 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. ==== Option 2: ==== Take the S-train or walk to ''Dybbølsbro station''. Walk towards the ''Fisketorvet'' mall, and just before there will be an on ramp to the highway. This is another one of the 4 official hitchhiking stops ("Blafferstoppested") in Copenhagen. ==== Option 3 ==== Catch a regional train or the metro M1 and get off at ''Ørestad'' station. Walk across the parking area of Field's and you'll find the first on-ramp. Be aware that there are two on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure to be on the most busy one. 

Most trucks Use one of the before mentioned options for going anywhere in Europe west, or another good option is to take the S-train to Sydhavn and walk south on the Sydhavnsgade, there will be places for cars to stop next to the road, at the Circle K petrol station or at the busstop (including [[Great Britain]]Sluseholmen) will go this way. There is a big petrol station called ''Karlslunde V'' before the motorway splits towards west and south. If you get a driver going west, you can jump off here, and find a car going towards ''Rødby''. Have in mind that most people are going west.

==== Option 1: ====Catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off Taking the ferry at ''Karlslunde'' station. Walk platform the opposite direction than the train goes and take stairs down. Under the bridge take rightport of Rødby, and then right again on a roundabout. Ignore signs saying that motorway which sails to Puttgarden in Germany is in the opposite direction - going this road quickest way to get to mainland Europe. In case you will end up get a ride in a bad place. Taking Karlslunde Strandvej walk for about 1.5km. On the second roundabout take right onto Karlslunde Mosevej and walk another 1.5km to the motorway. If you are hitching south or westcar, you need to be on the right side price of the road, so cross under ferry remains the bridge and take same for a left over a small wooden bridge. Follow the path and branch off car with up to the left once 4 people, so youdon're near t have to worry about any extra payments that the services. If driver may have to make because of you're hungry, there's an excellent bakery's dumpster along the Mosevej where [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] broke his fast one July evening 2011. The Aldi's dumpster was locked, however.

The train from It is preferable to find a car going with the main station ferry to Karlslunde takes Germany before reaching ''Rødby'', as the ferry operator sometimes will tell you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 30 minutes to walk to the service station. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kronergo away, but even though it's easy to blackride (see below)before the check in.

Be aware the if you Most trucks going anywhere in Europe (including Great Britain) will go wrong this way you are in trouble. The highway is four lane in this place and it's almost impossible to get a ride.

After getting out of the train at Ølby station, get out on the right hand side of the station, == Hitchhiking in the direction of train, and move out towards motorway. You will, when you exit the station, find restaurants (Little Italy) and right before that there is a right turn which goes into a main road on which you turn right again, come under the bridge of the train, and then hit the motorway where you have to cross the road and walk towards the '''left'''. It is illegal to walk by the side of the road, but it is possible. After 1 km of walk the road ramps up on a roundabout, which if you cross on foot, before this road meets the E20/E40 motorway in direction of [[Rødby|Rødby(havn)]] (ferry point of South Denmark) there is another roundabout and at least 2 petrol stations. One of them has a Burger King and right outside the exit of it, is a good point to stand with a placard for seeking a ride. ==

Here at this T-junction trucks Both from Malmö, Sweden, and cars coming from both petrol stations pass by and if you are dressed nice and in Hamburg, Lübeck oder Rostock, Germany, it is a youngish manner good idea to get out of the car at the Copenhagen airport. From there you might can get picked up in less than 30 minutesto the city center by metro. It is important to remember that you Tickets are trying to go to Rødby35 DKK (about 4,60 €).

=== Ferry Hitching a ferry between and [[JyllandSjælland]] ===Hitching a ferry between and [[Jylland]] is possible, too, as you don't pay per person but per car on the ferry. Option #1 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] is probably the best way for getting a car towards Holbæk and further on to Sj. Odde or Kalundborg. Ferry timetables can be found at [http://www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien] but they run quite frequently. Be aware that the ferry from Kalundborg is very slow (about 3 hours to Aarhus).
