'''{{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 "Lufthavnen / 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. 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 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 Tärnby Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of the road to Tärnby Tårnby station. Not much space to stop but as traffic lights cars are going slow and get chance to think about it! Next  ==== Option 3: Sydhavn ==== You can also take a train to this spotSydhavn, you can 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 ask drivers 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 the hypermarketall of them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, where ofcourse you will always find a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning homeride somehow. One option that can work well is if you are heading further north and get a ride towards Lund (probably not as common anymore since 20 km from the strong danish krona have made highway) it expensive for Swedes 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 shop the highway. This works really well and quickly in Denmarkcomparison to the ringroad onramps. Nowadays danish people go   === North towards [[Helsingør]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], , [[Gothenburg]] === Another option for going to Sweden is heading north to shop)Helsingør and catching the 20 minute ferry to Helsingborg from there.

The best spot to hitchhike to Sweden is probably Take bus 4A and get off at Kastrup AirportVibenshus Runddel. Take On Lyngbyvej the metro cars have lots of space to the station "lufthavn" stop, and then go to the roundabout next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoil (its left road becomes a highway shortly after. There is not at lot of traffic on the metro exit). Just after small on-ramps on the roundabout there is way to Helsingör, so try to get a bus stop were ride all the cars are able stop, which makes it a good place way from Copenhagen to hitchhike fromHelsingör. You will also A sign might be able of use. It cost around 29 kr. (3,90 euro) to keep an eye walk on the gas 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 ferry, but you are in can hitchhike a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmöride onto the ferry, since it could be difficult to catch often finding a direct ride along to Gothenburg or Stockholm (It seems that most of the motorway.people Go to Gothenburg If you want to travel further up they take this ferry) , by standing in Sweden you should check out front of the ticket booth with a sign of your destination. the advices given cars pay for 9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you for free onto the Sweden(Malmö)sectionferry.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. Walk through the little alley on the south side of the station 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(there is a traffic light, so the cars are slow) or try one of the many busstops.[[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced that this option is good when heading towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]]).  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 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, on the same side of the road as the train station. There is not lots of space to stop but as there are traffic lights the cars are going slow and get chance to see you.

==== Option 2: ====Catch a regional train or the metro M1 and get off at ''Ørestad'' station. Walk across the parking area of Field's and you'll find the first on-ramp. Be aware that there are two on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure to be on the most busy one.

=== South Take the S-train or walk to ''Dybbølsbro station''. Walk towards [[Rødby]]the ''Fisketorvet'' mall, [[Germany]] ===The quickest way to get to mainland Europe is and just before there will be an on ramp to get the ferry at the port of Rødby, which sails to [[Puttgarden]] in [[Germany]]highway. In case you get a ride in a car, the price This is another one 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 youofficial hitchhiking stops ("Blafferstoppested") in Copenhagen.

==== Option 1: ====Catch S-tog E (summer 2012 you need to take a regional train or the A train instead) towards Køge metro M1 and get off at ''KarlslundeØrestad'' station. Walk platform across the opposite direction than the train goes parking area of Field's and take stairs down. Under you'll find the bridge take right, and then right again first on a roundabout-ramp. Ignore signs saying Be aware that motorway is in the opposite direction - going this road you will end up in a bad place. Taking Karlslunde Strandvej walk for about 1.5km. On the second roundabout take right onto Karlslunde Mosevej, no clear sign to look for but there are two small restaurants here (Thai/Pizza). Walk another 1.5km to the motorway. If you are hitching south or on-ramps joining each other when heading west, you need make sure to be on the right side of the road, so cross under the motorway tunnel/bridge and after 20 meters take left into the nature over a small wooden bridge. Follow this small nature path along the motorway and it leads up to the petrol station within a minutemost busy one.

The train from the main station to Karlslunde takes you about 30 minutes=== South towards [[Rødby]], and it should take another 30 minutes to walk to the service station. Be aware that there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner, but it's easy to blackride (see below). [[Germany]] ===

Be aware Use one of the if you go wrong way you are in troublebefore 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). The highway There is four lane in this place a big petrol station called ''Karlslunde V'' before the motorway splits towards west and it's almost impossible to south. If you get a ridedriver going west, you can jump off here, and find a car going towards ''Rødby''. Have in mind that most people are going west.

==== Option 2: ====Take Taking the S-tog E towards Køge and hop off ferry at Ølbythe 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.

After getting out of the train at Ølby station, get out on the right hand side of the station, in the direction of train, and move out towards motorway. You will, when you exit the station, It is preferable to find restaurants (Little Italy) and right before that there is a right turn which goes into a main road on which you turn right again, come under car going with the bridge of the train, and then hit the motorway where you have ferry to cross the road and walk towards the Germany before reaching ''Rødby'left'''. It is illegal to walk by the side of the road, but it is possible. After 1 km of walk as the road ramps up on a roundabout, which if ferry operator sometimes will tell you cross on footto go away, even though it's before this road meets the E20/E40 motorway check in direction of [[Rødby|Rødby(havn)]] (ferry point of South Denmark) there is another roundabout and at least 2 petrol stations. One of them has a Burger King and right outside the exit of it, is a good point to stand with a placard for seeking a ride.

Here at this T-junction Most trucks and cars coming from both petrol stations pass by and if you are dressed nice and going anywhere in a youngish manner you might get picked up in less than 30 minutes. It is important to remember that you are trying to Europe (including Great Britain) will go to Rødbythis way.

==Hitchhiking in = North towards [[Helsingör]], [[Helsingborg]] ===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 Helsingborg, so try to get a ride all the way from Copenhagen to Helsingör.

It cost around 25 krBoth from Malmö, Sweden, and 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 (3about 4,50 euro60 €) to walk on the ferry.
