Take a * An excellent spot for northbound trafic is the Shell gas station close to Upplands Väsby. You can get to Upplands Väsby by commuter train (takes around 20-30 min), then find a bus 568 to the end station ''PendeltågLöwenströmska Sjukhuset'') to [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=1835005514296943385,59.623520,17.860860&saddr=59.627795When at the end bus stop,17.861195&daddr=umea&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=14&doflg=ptk&sll=59.628924,17.877803&sspn=0.019224,0.053215&ie=UTF8&ll=59.628924,17.877846&spn=0.019224,0.053215&z=14 Märsta]. Then get out of cross over the station through parking lot and follow the little swing door that path along E4 highway, then you will see on your left side when walking towards the gas station house. Turn left and walk South along the railroad until (there is also a bridge which crosses rails on your left side. You can start hitchhiking on the other side of the bridgeMcDonalds there). Most drivers who will pick you up will most likely Many go to Arlanda airport. In this case, get out of their car at the roundabout by the E4. (You can also walk this roundabout while hitching, it's 1-2 km.) Walk up to the [[or Uppsala]] entrance and stand right behind the pedestrian crossing. According to some folks, this but there is a truly magical spot where waiting times hardly ever exceed 10 minutes. Do not accept a ride shorter than to Uppsalaenough traffic going up north too.
* Another option is to take a commuter train (''Pendeltåg'') to [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=1835005514296943385,59.623520,17.860860&saddr=59.627795,17.861195&daddr=umea&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=14&doflg=ptk&sll=59.628924,17.877803&sspn=0.019224,0.053215&ie=UTF8&ll=59.628924,17.877846&spn=0.019224,0.053215&z=14 Märsta]. Then get out of the station through the little swing door that you see on your left side when walking towards the station house.

According to some folks, this is a truly magical spot where waiting times hardly ever exceed 10 minutes. Do not accept a ride shorter than to Uppsala. In July 2008 [[User:Guaka|guaka]] found out though that it is not such a great spotafter all, almost no traffic and it took an hour or so to get a ride. [[User:Liftarkungen|Liftarkungen]] have several times started hitchhiking from Märsta, but is hitchhiking from the stoplights ''before'' the bridge in order to get a ride to the roundabout mentioned earlier, which surely is a great hitchhikingspot, especially during daylight.
* You can also begin at Vener Gren Center in the North of Stockholm. On Sveavägen, just before the bend that leads to the E4, there's a traffic light, above the bridge for pedestrians. Just before this traffic light, there is a bus stop, where you can start hitchhiking, the cars are not fast because of the traffic light, and have a lot of space to stop. A nice spot for northbound trafic is the Shell gasstation close to upplands väsby. take the bus 568 to the endstation löwenströmska sjukhuset. cross over the parking lot and follow the e4 highway to the right and you will see the station. there is also a mcdonalds here. most people are going to arlanda but there is quite a lot of cars to chose from.
