South-west towards Malmö/Denmark
=== South-west towards [[Malmö]]/[[Denmark]] ===
 
 
* Take the T-bana (metro) towards ''Norsborg'' and get out at ''Hallunda'' (last but one), then walk down the ''Tre Kallors väg'' and you will find a good spot with a [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] (Bonus: There's a hamburger place next to the on ramp). A lot of cars are going South all the way to Denmark. Do not accept rides going to [[Södertälje]] if that is not your destination! And: Petrol-station is not so easy, you can also try it with a sign on the ramp.
 
* Take the commuter train to "Södertälje Hamn". After coming out of the station house, turn to the right and walk South along the E4/E22 until you come to a tunnel that goes under the motorway. Walk through this tunnel and then take to the right; walk North along the motorways until you come to the place where E20 from the west merges into E4 South. On this stretch of road you have perhaps the best chance of getting South from Stockholm. You are technically not allowed to stand there so the police might ask you to leave, but it is a safe place, so don't feel bad about it. You should wait for a car that goes at least all the way to [[Norrköping]], but if you are very impatient, [[Nyköping]] might also do.
 
* Loads of trucks leaving from Västberga industrial area, where many trucking companies are located. DHL has a huge terminal there. Trucks leave from 15.00 and on, all evening, to destinations such as [[Göteborg]], [[Malmö]], [[Helsingborg]] but also northbound and westbound. Also south to continental Europe.
 
* "Transportledet" is a big operator for DHL. Take metro to "Midsommarkransen" or "Telefonplan" and get south of the motorway E4 and you will find Västberga.
 
 
* Many trucks also depart (afternoons and evenings) from the slaughterhouse district ("Slakthusområdet") which is close to the "Globen" or "Ericsson Globe"). South of metro-station "Gullmarsplan".
* In Bromma, just south of the Airport of Bromma, there is the "G P LAST" trucking company. They have 15-25 trucks departing for Malmö in the very south of Sweden daily, and are reputed to be friendly.
 
* Further out in Spånga, there is a huge SCHENKER terminal, with many trucks going daily to all major cities in Sweden. E.g. Hägerstens åkeri traffic Göteborg.
 
* You can also take the free of charge Ikea bus to Kungens Kurva (it even has free wi-fi!). You'll find the bus schedule from the [http://www.ikea.com/se/sv/store/kurvan Ikea website]. The web page is only in Swedish, but it says the buses go once an hour, first one at 10:00 and the last one at 19:00. The bus leaves from Vasagatan 18, which is near to the main train station. When the bus gets to Ikea Kungens Kurva, there's a petrol station on the other side of the motorway. Walk behind Ikea and you'll find a pedestrian tunnel going under the motorway. (Untill 2021 this pedestrian tunnel is blocked due to constructionwork, you can walk around, that costs 20 min more. - The petrol station is a pretty good spot to hitchhike. We noticed a little problem there, though. The motorway splits up in Södertälje to E4 southward and E20 westward, 30km from Kungens Kurva. Depending on which way you want to go, it's a good idea to catch a ride straight to the direction where you need to go. It's impossible and dangerous to hitchhike where the two motorways split, people drive too fast. - Close to the McDonalds at the end of Kungens Kurva there is a busstop along Skärholmsvägen where many cars pass who enter the E4/E20. They have an oke speed and will have enough space to stop their car. The busstop is called Lammholmsbacken. This busstop works better then asking at the Ingol petrolstation, since its not that busy there.
