Taking the metro for free is=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]] ===To get to Sweden, you want to move out of course, never a wise decisioncity center towards Øresundsbron. But you You can enter the metro freely without any checkpoints or turnstiles. Ticket controls are more frequent than in the S-trains and ticket controls as expensive (750 DKK = ~100€!!). Ticket controllers (or "stewards", as they are pretty rare outside called) do not always check tickets when entering a train, so best thing is to just act normal and get off at next station. In general, the people who freeride most efficiently sit in front of the busy hourstrain, thus being able to spot any controllers on each station as the train enters the platform. No rights can be derived from this statement, and it's '''always''' at your own risk to freeride. But apparently the worse that can happen if you play it right is to ask for an invoice to be sent to your home which you will promptly ignore.

=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]] = Option I: Tårnby ====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 Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of the road to Tårnby 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)

==== Option II: Kastrup Airport ====The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "lufthavnLufthavnen / 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 (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 petrol 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. If you are in a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmö, since it could be difficult to catch a ride along the motorway. Always try to stay out of Malmö'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 (McDonalds at Stockholmsvägen) than the highway system.

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't have any luck along the road keep walking a few hundred metres and you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21, 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.

Catch S-tog E (summer 2012 you need to take the sometimes its A train insteaddepending on construction/late night trains) towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. Walk platform the opposite direction than the train goes and take stairs down. Under the bridge take right, and then right again on a roundabout. Ignore signs saying that motorway is in the opposite direction - going this road you will end up in a bad place. Taking Karlslunde Strandvej walk for about 1.5km. On the second roundabout take right onto Karlslunde Mosevej, no clear sign to look for but there are two small restaurants here (Thai/Pizza), and Aldi. Walk another 1.5km 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 motorway tunnel/bridge and after 20 meters take turn left into on the nature over a small wooden bridgenewly paved road. Follow this small nature path along the motorway and it leads You will come up to the petrol station motorway within a minute. This is the last big petrol station before Germany.

If you're hungry, there's an excellent bakery's dumpster along An alternative option to get here with less walking is to go to Folehaven (See option 3) and hitch a short ride to Karlslunde petrol station. Make sure though that your driver goes the Mosevej where [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] broke his fast one July evening 2011right direction. The AldiKatia's dumpster had best intentions to bring her to the highway petrol station but both ended up in Roskild as there was locked, howevernothing on the way.

The train from There used to be an excellent bakery dumpster along the main station to Karlslunde takes you about 30 minutesMosevej where, and but as of December 2013 it should take another 30 minutes to walk to the service station's locked. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your wayThe bakery is run by kind people, however, ask for leftover bread and you'll surely be given something. The train ticket costs 63 KronerThere is a great dumpster right at Karlslunde station, but itand the Aldi's easy to blackride (see below)dumpster was open as well and full of goodies.

The train from the main station to Karlslunde takes you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 40 minutes to walk to the service station. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner, but it's easy to blackride (see below).  Be aware the if you go wrong way you are in trouble. The highway is four lane in this place and it's almost impossible to get a ride. There is a map of the area in the train station.

After getting out of the train at Ølby station, get out on the right hand side of the station, 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. Obviously, walk on the left side so you're facing traffic. 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.

=== North towards Both from [[HelsingörMalmö]] / , [[Helsingborg, Sweden]] ===Take bus 4A , and from [[Hamburg]], [[Lübeck]] oder [[Rostock]], [[Germany]], it is a good idea to get off out of the car at Vibenshus Runddelthe [[Airport]].

== Public Transportation==Copenhagen's public transportation system is one of Europe's easiest to use for free. All the S-Trains and Metros can be entered without having to cross any gates, Food the only thing to watch out for are ticket inspectors. Those usually wear a uniform on the Metro and Sleeping ==sometimes do on S-Trains. Chances are not very high that they'll show up, but they exist. When you see them, just run away from them and leave the train asap, pretending not to understand etc. Although they do, they are legally not allowed to hold you, but they can block your path. If they can't check whether the address you're telling them is correct or if you're a foreigner (and not really under an obligation to pay any fines anyway), they might try to take the money you have with you, so better (pretend to) not have money for paying this. [i had to pay 700 dkk -hf]. Using public transportation is, by the way, an excellent way to get through Copenhagen if you're travelling between Sweden and the South/West. Copenhagen is a city whose dumpsters are a generous source of food. Ask the locals or check out trashwiki for more information.
