Copenhagen

Copenhagen (Danish: København) is the capital of Denmark.

Hitching Out

East towards Malmö, Sweden

On the road to Malmo, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. Drivers are wary though, and maybe you should try getting a ride with a sign "I don't carry drugs".

Next to this spot, you can also ask drivers at the hypermarket, where a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning home.

West towards Roskilde, Fyn or Jylland

<map lat='55.671389288295465' lng='12.539520263671875' zoom='11' view='0' float='right'/> There are several ways of getting out of Copenhagen. Heading west you have the following options:

1. Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at Ny Ellebjerg station. You can also check rejseplanen for a bus (bus stop Folehaven/Vigerslevvej). Walking west along the road Folehaven you'll see a few traffic lights to slow down the cars and plenty of space for cars to pull over. If you don't have any luck along the road keep walking a few hundred metres and you'll see a petrol station close to the beginning of motorway 21. ColAlf experienced that this option is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg (see below).
2. 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.
3. If you prefer service stations along the motorway catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off at Karlslunde station. When you get out of the train, turn into the direction where the train was coming from and get out of the station. Then turn right. When you reach Mosede Landevej turn right, walk down here to the end then turn right onto Karlslunde Strandvej, walk down here for about 5-10 minutes. At the second roundabout turn right onto Karlslunde Mosevej. This street leads you right to the motorway. If you are hitching south or west, you need to be on the right side of the road, so cross under the bridge. Then you go up a little hill to get into the service station.

The train from the main station to Karlslunde takes 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.

1. Take the S-tog E towards Køge and hop off at Ølby. Walk down Lyngvej towards the motorway. After a bridge there's a roundabout and the motorway entrance both to south and west. This is the last ramp before the E20/E47 fork. Loads of trucks drive through here because there's a big service station nearby.

South towards Rødby, Germany

Options #3 and #4 mentioned above are recommended if heading south.

Ferry between Sjælland and Jylland

Hitching a ferry between Sjælland and Jylland is possible, too, as you don't pay per person but per car on the ferry. Option #1 mentioned 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 [Mols-Linien] but they run quite frequently.
