'''Sweden''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]]. Many say that hitching in Sweden sucks. But it works too! As anywhere in Western [[Europe]], the motorways are the holy temples of car driving religion and someone standing on them is committing blasphemy. But you can hitch on the highway ramps as well as on local roads. Better bring a good map, though, so that you won´t end up in an unexpected place.
There is no special need of practicing your Swedish since almost everyone speaks English there.
