==Hitching OutHitchhiking out ==If you want to get Hitching out of Oslois usually difficult from the city center (except going south). There are several motorway entrances behind the tunnel. The further outside the city you are, you should definitely get behind the easier it gets.   === North towards [[Trondheim]] {{E|6}} or northwest towards [[Molde]] or [[Ålesund]] === This is a superb spot for heading north/northwest: a "Circle K" petrol station on the [[E6]] tunneldirection North which can be reached with the free IKEA shuttle bus. This blue bus is leaving from Fred Olsens gate 5 every hour on the "o'clock". It operates from 10.00 until 22.00 on weekdays and from 09.00 until 20.00 on saturdays. You could also jump on the metro line 1 or 2 to the stop (Trosterud) at earlier/later hours, sundays and it leaves at higher frequencies, in but that would cost a one-zone ticket of 35 NOK. The Circle K is 10 minutes walk from IKEA. Once you are at IKEA just walk around the inner city building to it's worthlessright side, and you'll se a pedestrian tunnel taking you under the E6. There are several Straight on the other side, look to your right, a pathway following the highway entrances behind takes you directly to the tunnelspot. When going north, you can quite easily find a ride here. Anyways, for shorter rides, the first good petrol station on the highway is called "Skedsmokorset". You might be offered rides to the Oslo airport, in case you are trying to get further , make sure you jump off at Skedsmokorset. '''SKEDSMOKORSET''' - SHELL Gas station 59.996979648163354, 11.039584005582046 This gas station is a perfect spot for heading north/northwest. Maybe you should filter out short rides. To get there you need a two-zone ticket of 69 NOK (spring 2024) or just a very short local ride. === South towards [[Göteborg]] {{E|6}} and east towards [[Stockholm]] {{E|18}} === Note: If you're heading to Sweden on the E18 you have to start on the E6. Be very careful as there is only one point where the E6 branches to the E18. It's fairly easy to miss, but when you see it ask the driver to turn off even if they are continuing south. There is a roundabout where you can get out, and then the driver can get back on the E6. '''Option 1 - Barcode '''  With the new iconic addition to the Oslo high-rise waterfront, Barcode, hitchhiking south directly from the city centre has become much easier , and thus removed the need for the 30 minute metro ride to Mortensrud (option 2). From the central station, just pass the high-rises until the end, where it turns right (and south). Follow the sidewalk on this for about 250 meters, until you get to a traffic light. On the right side of the road, there is possible for cars to stop (parking forbidden sign does not mean cars can't pull over). You only need a ride to the shell station at Mortensrud in order to get going further. '''Option 2 - Mortensrud '''  Take metro line 3 to "Mortensrud" and getoff at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Either ask drivers there, hitchhike on the busstop on the motorway just 100 meters next to the gasstation, on the onramp itself, or on the busstop before the onramp. Basically just go there and find your favorite way to find a ride going south. ''s' Option 3 - From Ljansbakken (closer to the city than the other ones) '''  Take one of the following buses 83, 500, T9 to the stop Ljansbakken. Around IKEA This spot is before the area where most trucks startroad turns into a motorway at a busstop with plenty of space for people to pull over safely, a sign might be useful at this spot.  '''Option 4 - Hellerud ''' You may want to try Esso petrol station (diesel is cheaper there so lots of people fills up there and other advantage is there is a MC D. right next to it). To get there, take subway to Hellerud, turn right into Smalvollveien and walk till you get to Esso. Some might find useful to know that there seem to be fewer ticket controls on that line.   ===NorthWest towards [[Bergen]], or southwest towards [[Stavanger]] and [[Kristiansand]]===You can also take The road to Bergen diverges from the regional train southwestern road at Sandvika. If your ride is going Ski and the other way, just get off at Nordstrand stationone of the gas stations before Sandvika and keep hitchhiking from there.  '''Option 1 - Onramp at Skøyen''' This option is fairly close to the city centre. Take a train or a bus to (Skøyen), and walk southwest towards the highway. There is a big roundabout a a little closer to the hightway, one and a 100 meters further down the onramp you'll see a bus stop after Oslowith plenty of space to pull over. This is a favorite spot for many hitchhikers heading west. From here option 2 is also close by, a gas station that is just 600 meters down the highway. '''Option 2 -SGas station at Maritim''' Take the bus 31 or 31E to the stop (Maritim) and walk for 50 meters to the gas station close by. The ticket station does not have too much traffic, but it is fairly easy to hitch a ride to the next gas station on the way towards Sandvika or Drammen, where there is 22 krmore traffic heading northwest and southwest. although  '''Option 3 - Bergen direction only - Where the motorway ended''' there is bus 200 that goes from the City, you can buy catch it to the stop ''Avtjerna'' and hitch from the bustop. All motorway has ended and it is just country road all the way to Bergen. The con with this option is that it the bus only goes once an hour (and once every 2 hours on sunday). It is also quite far out from Oslo, and public transport can be pricey. But if you just miss the train and they might not checkbus you can change to option 1 or 2. Once  '''Option 4 - Bergen direction only - Onramp at NorstrandSandvika''' Catch a train to Sandvika, when you get off the train walk in the direction the train was moving for 100 meters, turn right and then left on the bigger road (Elias Smiths Vej), follow the road until a roundabout and go down turn right, and you will see the entrance to the little hillhighway. The large road There you can stand with a lot sign hitchhiking to Hønefoss, where there's a gas station.  == Hitching In == === From Oslo (Rygge) Airport === Oslo (Rygge) is an airport located about 75 km South of traffic is Oslo, on the [[E18]]E6 direction Göteborg. You To reach Oslo via HH, you simple need a sign for Oslo and you can either hitch from the airport or walk about 1.5km to (North direction, along the motorway) the Rygge on-10 minutes ramp where local traffic passes at the roundabout. The first petrol station is a few kilometres North, around Moss. From there it's rather easy to get a direct ride to Oslo. Yes, the airport is small, so traffic is light. When you come out of the terminal building; the motorway in front of you is the direction of E6, and Oslo (turning North) is to the right. I walked the one mile along the airport service road (hitching without success) to and then hitched from the Ulvøya Island crossroadsroundabout. There is a bus stop  Or you can just stand at the end of the car park building on the slip road (turn right after a traffic light out of terminal building and walk until you can get picked reach the end of the building). I just hitched to Oslo city centre in one lift (by holding up quite easilyan Oslo sign). The first car stopped. Have a sign and avoid anyone Or you can ask people at the airport if they're going in to Oslo.  === From Oslo (Torp) Airport === Oslo (Torp) is an airport located about 115 km South of Oslo, on the [[E18]] direction of [[StockholmKristiansand]]. ===SouthFrom Oslo (Gardermoen) Airport ===If you want to go South Oslo (Gardermoen) (GöteborgOSL) Airport is located around 50 km North of Oslo, Stockholm) take metro nonear [[E6]] towards [[Lillehammer]]. 3  To reach Oslo, simply go to the multi-storey car park which is adjacent to Mortensrud the terminal and get off then follow arrows to the exit. Then head to the gates where drivers pay for the parking, it's at the last station, then cross exit from the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meterscar park area. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6Stand right behind these gates. Ask Payment takes a couple of whiles and drivers should have the time to notice you, there's also a plenty of place for them to stop to pick you up. Very good spot!  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}  {{hitchbase_city|307}}{{IsIn|Norway}}
