'''Stockholm''' is the capital of [[Sweden]], as well as the largest city, situated along the south-central east coast of the country. The city itself spreads out quite far into several districts and suburbs, with a large and complex public transportation system.  There is also an active harbour located within the city-center (near the old city, ''Gamla Stan'', and the ''Slussen'' T-bana (subway)) from which cruise ships enter and leave to other major cities in the region. It was once thought possible to hitchhike the large commercial carrier trucks entering these cruise ships but many drivers will tell you that it is illegal and will advise you to buy a passenger ticket instead. Unlike some other ferries in Europe where tickets are purchased per car, passengers on these ferries are required to pay individually.
== Hitchhiking out ==

==Sleeping==
If the weather is good the two parks in downtown, Djurgården (better, calm and isolated on an island) and Ladugårdgärdet are very good option for camping. Swedish people have a very good respect for camping and won't ever wake you up. Just the kids, if you sleep until after 9-10 a.m most probably will shout around your tent and run away when you put out your head
 
== Useful Things ==
Free lockers can be found at the modern museum. The University provides you with rather cheap coffee, maybe also with free lockers, and at least at the ''Kungliga tekniska högskolan'' you can get free Internet access. Ask for the library, and at the desk ask for a guest account. You can also find Internet access at the city libraries and at the other Universities.
 
Free internet can be accessed in the Central station, there are public information computers that can be glitched into giving free internet. Process follows:
 
- Type something into the search bar at the top left of the screen,
 
- Select the text with the mouse,
 
- Hit ( Ctrl + c ) to copy the text,
 
- Click anywhere on the page and then immediately hit the middle mouse button.
 
A new Google search page will open and you can do what you want from there. Web browser closes in 30 seconds of inactivity.
 
You can buy tickets for all public transportation via SMS, but this now requires you to pre-register at the SL (Stockholm public transportation) webpage. All other information can be found at http://www.sl.se/en/visitor/tickets/text-me-a-ticket. Observe that if your bus/train is checked by ticket controllers (late weekend nights for metro north of "T-Centralen" there is a very real risk for this), they will check if your ticket was valid when you boarded!
