'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} Copenhagen''' (Danish: '''København''') is the capital of [[Denmark]].

=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], [[Gothenburg]] === There are 2 ways to go to Sweden from Copenhagen, one being across the bridge to Malmö and one being north to Helsingør and then with the ferry to Helsingborg. If you choose the option towards Malmö then use one of the options below. If you're hitchhiking from Germany or elsewhere in Denmark, it's probably easier to first get to the airport and then find a ride going into Sweden, rather than trying to get a direct ride from before Copenhagen. ==== Option 1: Kastrup Airport ====The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the metro to the station "lufthavnLufthavnen / Copenhagen Airport" , leave the terminal on the other side of the metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the end, next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil (its left of the metro exit). Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop were the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place to hitchhike from. You will also be able to keep an eye on the gas petrol station and hopefully spot some cars with Swedish plates from that place.. This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also the winning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competition.  If you are in a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmö, since it could be difficult to catch a ride along the motorway.Always try to stay out of Malmö's motorway network and if possible prefer to follow your driver into Malmö center if there's no other alternative. It's much better to hitchhike Malmö's good spot (McDonalds at Stockholmsvägen) than the highway system. If you want to travel further up in Sweden you should check out the advices given in the Sweden(Malmö)section.. Under the airport there's a train station with trains going to Hyllie station and then to other stations in Malmo, so use it if it's the only option left. There might be a ticket check on the train, so if you're like me, you risk facing a giant fine, but in my case luckily a cute girl checking tickets did nothing. They check your ID when you enter the station in Copenhagen and when you exit in Sweden due to the immigration issues. ==== Option 2: Tårnby ==== On the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. To get to this spot take a regional train to Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of the road to Tårnby station. Not much space to stop but as traffic lights cars are going slow and get chance to think about it!  ==== Option 3: Sydhavn ==== You can also take a train to Sydhavn, only 2 stops after the main station and hitch on Sydhavnsgade. We hitched before the shell service station because it was a weekend and a business carpark entry was closed. We also saw people with a sign just after shell. Its a good road.  ==== Malmö ring road for those heading north toward [[Gothenburg]] or [[Stockholm]]==== Bear in mind that the Malmö ring road has no good places for hitchhike on it. There are a few on ramps with gasstations but at all of them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, ofcourse you will always find a ride somehow. One option that can work well is if you are heading further north and get a ride towards Lund (20 km from the highway) it is possible to accept the rideoffer to Lund and get dropped of in the northwest end of Lund and hitchhhiing north west from Lund back to the highway. This works really well and quickly in comparison to the ringroad onramps.  === North towards [[Helsingør]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], , [[Gothenburg]] === Another option for going to Sweden is heading north to Helsingør and catching the 20 minute ferry to Helsingborg from there. Take bus 4A and get off at Vibenshus Runddel. On Lyngbyvej the cars have lots of space to stop, and the road becomes a highway shortly after. There is not at lot of traffic on the small on-ramps on the way to Helsingör, so try to get a ride all the way from Copenhagen to Helsingör. A sign might be of use. It cost around 29 kr. (3,90 euro) to walk on the ferry, but you can hitchhike a ride onto the ferry, often finding a direct ride to Gothenburg or Stockholm (It seems that most of the people Go to Gothenburg If they take this ferry) , by standing in front of the ticket booth with a sign of your destination. the cars pay for 9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you for free onto the ferry. Still Valid 2022.

There are several ways of getting out of Copenhagen . Just make sure you do not get stuck at Køge. If you do get stuck at Køge, your best bet is the Tesla Supercharger Station behind the gas station, or at the top of the on ramp immediately east of the last roundabout. Heading west you have the following options: ==== Option 1: ==== Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at ''Ny Ellebjerg'' station. From Walk through the little alley on the south side of the train station, walking west along called 'Pylestikket'. Turn right on the main road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach the road ''Folehaven'' . There you'll see a few traffic lights to slow down the cars . Cross the road and there's and plenty of space for cars to pull over. If you don There's even a new official hitchhiking stop ("Blafferstoppested") close to ''Folehaven 84''t have any luck along the road keep walking , but there are only few cars passing by. So better walk pass it a few hundred metres meters and you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21. [[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced that this option (there is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde traffic light, so the cars are slow) or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]])try one of the many busstops.  If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind the traffic light to the hard shoulder where the motorway begins. In case they are not going in the direction, where you want, ask them if they can drop you off at Karlslunde petrol station - a good petrol station, before the highway splits south and west.  ===== Option 1a =====

==== Option 2: ====Catch a regional train or An easier way to get to the same spot mentioned in option 1 is to take bus ''#A1 Avedøre'' to ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej''. There' you'll see the crossing to ''Folehaven'' which is the beginning of the metro M1 and motorway 21. Additionally you can take to following busses also going that direction. Make sure you get off out at ''ØrestadFolehaven/Vigerslevvej'' station: bus ''#10 Flintholm St.'', ''#133 Avedøre St.'', ''#65E Avedøre St. Walk across the parking area of Field'' There's and youa petrol station some meters before the crossing. You'll also find a bus stop where you can stand on, or just pull out your thumb on the hard shoulder next to the first on-rampstreet. A sign saying the direction might be helpful. Be aware Keep in mind that traffic might be pretty fast here already ===== Option 1b ===== One way out of Copenhagen which we found quite quick was to catch the suburban train from Copenhagen Central Statio to Tärnby. There is an entrance to the E20 headed west there are two , on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure the same side of the road as the train station. There is not lots of space to be on stop but as there are traffic lights the most busy onecars are going slow and get chance to see you. ==== Option 2 ====

==== Option 3: ====If you prefer service stations along Take the motorway catch S-tog E towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. When you step out of the train, be sure or walk to turn into the direction where the train was coming from. Take this side's exit out of the 'Dybbølsbro station, then turn right. When you reach ''Mosede Landevej'' turn right. Walk down here to towards the end, then turn right onto ''Karlslunde StrandvejFisketorvet''mall, walk down here for about 5-10 minutes. At and just before there will be an on ramp to the second roundabout turn right onto ''Karlslunde Mosevej''highway. This street leads you right to is another one of the motorway4 official hitchhiking stops ("Blafferstoppested") in Copenhagen. If you are hitching south  ==== Option 3 ==== Catch a regional train or west, you need to be on the right side of the road, so cross under the bridge metro M1 and take a left over a small wooden bridge. Then you go up a little hill to get into the service off at ''Ørestad'' station. The train from Walk across the main station to Karlslunde takes parking area of Field's and you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 30 minutes to walk to 'll find the service stationfirst on-ramp. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner. Passengers seem two on-ramps joining each other when heading west make sure to be checked for their tickets regularly and getting caught without a ticket can cost 636 Kroner (105 Euros). Especially if they can't check whether on the address you're telling them is correct, they might try to take the money you have with you, so better (pretend to) not have money for paying thismost busy one.

Use one of the before mentioned options for going west, or another good option is to take the S-train to Sydhavn and walk south on the Sydhavnsgade, there will be places for cars to stop next to the road, at the Circle K petrol station or at the busstop (Sluseholmen). There is a big petrol station called ''Karlslunde V'' before the motorway splits towards west and south. If you get a driver going west, you can jump off here, and find a car going towards ''Rødby''. Have in mind that most people are going west. Taking the ferry at the port of Rødby, which sails to Puttgarden in Germany is the quickest way to get to mainland Europe. In case you get a ride in a car, the price of the ferry remains the same for a car with up to 4 people, so you don't have to worry about any extra payments that the driver may have to make because of you. It is preferable to find a car going with the ferry to Germany before reaching ''Rødby'', as the ferry operator sometimes will tell you to go away, even though it's before the check in. Most trucks going anywhere in Europe (including Great Britain) will go this way.  ==Hitchhiking in = Ferry between [[Sjælland]] = Both from Malmö, Sweden, and [[Jylland]] ===from Hamburg, Lübeck oder Rostock, Germany, it is a good idea to get out of the car at the Copenhagen airport. From there you can get to the city center by metro. Tickets are 35 DKK (about 4,60 €).
