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

=== East towards [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], [[Gothenburg]] ===

To get There are 2 ways to go to Swedenfrom Copenhagen, you want one being across the bridge to move out of city center towards Øresundsbron. You can enter the metro freely without any checkpoints or turnstiles. Ticket controls are more frequent than in the S-trains Malmö and as expensive (750 DKK = ~100€!!). Ticket controllers (or "stewards", as they are called) do not always check tickets when entering a train, so best thing is one being north to just act normal Helsingør and get off at next stationthen with the ferry to Helsingborg. In general, If you choose the people who freeride most efficiently sit in front option towards Malmö then use one of the train, thus being able to spot any controllers on each station as the train enters the platformoptions below. No rights can be derived If you're hitchhiking from this statementGermany or elsewhere in Denmark, and it's always at your own risk probably easier to first get to freeride. But apparently the worse that can happen if you play it right is airport and then find a ride going into Sweden, rather than trying to ask for an invoice to be sent to your home which you will promptly ignoreget a direct ride from before Copenhagen.

==== Option I1: Tårnby Kastrup Airport ====On the road The best spot to Malmö, leading hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airport. Take the bridge, you might be able metro to hitch a ride. To get to this spot take a regional train to Tårnby from the station "Lufthavnen / Copenhagen Central station. The slip road to Airport", leave the bridge is terminal on the opposite other side of the road metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the end, next to Tårnby stationMcDonalds/Netto/Statoil. Not much space to Just after the roundabout there is a bus stop but as traffic lights were the cars are going slow and get chance to think about able stop, which makes it! Next a good place to this spot, you can hitchhike from. You will also ask drivers at be able to keep an eye on the hypermarket, where a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning homepetrol station and hopefully spot some cars with Swedish plates from that place. (probably not as common anymore since This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers and was also the strong danish krona have made it expensive for Swedes to shop winning choice in Denmarka Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competition. Nowadays danish people go to Sweden to shop)

==== Option II: 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 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 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..

==== Option III: Sydhavn ====You can also take Under the airport there's a train station with trains going to SydhavnHyllie station and then to other stations in Malmo, so use it if it's the only 2 stops after option left. There might be a ticket check on the main station and hitch on Sydhavnsgadetrain, so if you're like me, you risk facing a giant fine, but in my case luckily a cute girl checking tickets did nothing. We hitched before They check your ID when you enter the shell service station because it was a weekend in Copenhagen and a business carpark entry was closed. We also saw people with a sign just after shell. Its a good road. We had a lift on Sunday afternoon after 15 minuteswhen you exit in Sweden due to the immigration issues.

=== West towards [[Roskilde]], [[Fyn]] or [[Jylland]] = Option 2: Tårnby ====There are several ways of getting out of {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}On the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. Just make sure you do not To get stuck at Køgeto this spot take a regional train to Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. If heading out The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of Denmark this way is not the quickest road to Tårnby station. Not much space to stop but as most trucks will be heading southtraffic 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 there aren't hitch on Sydhavnsgade. We hitched before the shell service station because it was a lot of service stations before 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 [[HamburgStockholm]]! 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 Bear in mind that the little alley on the south side of the station called 'Pylestikket'. Turn right Malmö ring road has no good places for hitchhike on the main road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach the road ''Folehaven''it. There you'll see are a few traffic lights to slow down the cars. Cross the road and there's and plenty on ramps with gasstations but at all of space for cars to pull over. If them getting stuck happens somewhat easily, ofcourse you don't have any luck along the road keep walking will always find a few hundred metres and you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21, or try one of the many busstopsride somehow.[[User:ColAlf|ColAlf]] experienced One option that this option can work well is good when if you are heading further north and get a ride towards Roskilde or catching a ferry to Jutland Lund (20 km from Sj. Odde or Kalundborg ([[#Ferry_between_Sj.C3.A6lland_and_Jylland|see below]]the highway). If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind it is possible to accept the traffic light rideoffer to Lund and get dropped of in the hard shoulder where northwest end of Lund and hitchhhiing north west from Lund back to the motorway beginshighway. In case they are not going This works really well and quickly in comparison to the direction, where you want, ask them if they can drop you off at Karlslunde gas station - a good gas station, before the highway splits south and westringroad onramps.

===== Option 1b : =====One way out of Copenhagen which we found quite quick was to catch the suburban train from Copenhagen Central Statio Another option for going to Tärnby. There Sweden is an entrance heading north to Helsingør and catching the E20 headed west there, on the same side of the road as the train station. There is not lots of space 20 minute ferry to stop but as Helsingborg from 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 Take bus 4A and get off at ''Ørestad'' stationVibenshus Runddel. Walk across On Lyngbyvej the parking area cars have lots of Field's space to stop, and you'll find the first road becomes a highway shortly after. There is not at lot of traffic on-ramp. Be aware that there are two the small on-ramps joining each other when heading west - make sure on the way to Helsingör, so try to get a ride all the way from Copenhagen to Helsingör. A sign might be on the most busy oneof use.

=== South towards [[Rødby]]It cost around 29 kr. (3, [[Germany]] ===The quickest way 90 euro) to get to mainland Europe is to get walk on the ferry at the port of Rødby, which sails to [[Puttgarden]] in [[Germany]]. In case but you get can hitchhike a ride in onto the ferry, often finding a cardirect 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 price ticket booth with a sign of your destination. the ferry remains the same cars pay for a car with up to 4 people9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you don't have to worry about any extra payments that for free onto the driver may have to make because of youferry. Still Valid 2022.

==== Option 1: West towards [[Roskilde]], [[Fyn]] or [[Jylland]] ====Catch S-tog E (sometimes its A depending on construction/late night trains) towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. Walk platform the opposite direction than the train goes and take stairs down. Under the bridge take right, and then right again on a roundabout. Ignore signs saying 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), and Aldi. Walk another 1.5km to the motorway. If you are hitching south or west, you need to be on the right side of the road, so cross under the motorway tunnel/bridge and turn left on the newly paved road. You will come up to the motorway within a minute. This is the last big gas station before Germany.

An alternative option to There are several ways of getting out of Copenhagen . Just make sure you do not get stuck at Køge. If you do get here with less walking stuck at Køge, your best bet is to go to Folehaven (See option 3) and hitch a short ride to Karlslunde 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:

The train from 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 station to Karlslunde takes road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach the road ''Folehaven''. There you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 40 minutes to walk 'll see a few traffic lights to slow down the service stationcars. Be aware that Cross the road and there are not many street signs guiding your way. The train ticket costs 63 Kroner, but it's easy and plenty of space for cars to blackride (see below)pull over.

Be aware the if you go wrong way you There's even a new official hitchhiking stop ("Blafferstoppested") close to ''Folehaven 84'', but there are in troubleonly few cars passing by. The highway is four lane in this place So better walk pass it a few hundred meters and ityou's almost impossible ll see the petrol station mentioned before close to get a ride. There the beginning of motorway 21 (there is a map traffic light, so the cars are slow) or try one of the area in the train stationmany busstops.

==== Option 2: ====Take If nobody stops, you could also walk some 100m behind the Straffic 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 -tog E towards Køge a good petrol station, before the highway splits south and hop off at Ølbywest.

Here [[File:Spot copenhagen.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hitchhiking spot at this T-junction trucks and cars coming from both petrol stations pass by and if you are dressed nice and in a youngish manner you might get picked up in less than 30 minutes. It ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'', an option is important to remember that stand on the hard shoulder at the beginning of the motorway you are trying to go to Rødby.can see in the background]]

Look where 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 cars that pass motorway 21. Additionally you are actually can take to following busses also going to improve your location if neededthat direction. A certain hitchhiker was Make sure you get out at ''Folehaven/Vigerslevvej'': bus ''#10 Flintholm St.'', ''#133 Avedøre St.'', ''#65E Avedøre St.'' There's a petrol station some meters before the aforementioned Burger King exit for at least an hour and noticed that most people who went from there (at least at that time) werencrossing. You't going ll also find a bus stop where you can stand on, or just pull out your thumb on the way hard shoulder next to Rødbythe street. So this hitchhiker moved to A sign saying the actual onramp of the highway where direction might be helpful. Keep in mind that traffic was certain to go on the intended way --and cars were coming from more directions-- and he was picked up quite shortly.might be pretty fast here already

===== Option 3: 1b =====

Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off at Ny Ellebjerg stationOne way out of Copenhagen which we found quite quick was to catch the suburban train from Copenhagen Central Statio to Tärnby. Walk through There is an entrance to the little alley E20 headed west there, on the south same side of the station called 'Pylestikket'. Turn right on the main road and after a few hundred metres you'll reach as the road Folehaventrain station. There you'll see a few is not lots of space to stop but as there are traffic lights to slow down the cars. Cross the road are going slow and there's and plenty of space for cars get chance to pull over. If you don't have any luck along the road keep walking a few hundred metres and see you'll see the petrol station mentioned before close to the beginning of motorway 21, or try one of the many busstops.

=== North towards [[Helsingör]], [[Helsingborg]] ===Take bus 4A and get off at Vibenshus Runddelthe S-train or walk to ''Dybbølsbro station''. On Lyngbyvej Walk towards the cars have lots of space to stop''Fisketorvet'' mall, and just before there will be an on ramp to the road becomes a highway shortly after. There This is not at lot another one of traffic on the small on-ramps on the way to Helsingör, so try to get a ride all the way from 4 official hitchhiking stops ("Blafferstoppested") in Copenhagen to Helsingör.

It cost around 29 kr. (==== Option 3,90 euro) to walk on the ferry.====

=== Ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] ===Hitching Catch a ferry between [[Sjælland]] regional train or the metro M1 and [[Jylland]] is possible, too, as you donget off at ''Ørestad''t pay per person but per car on the ferry. Option #1 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskildestation.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] is probably Walk across the best way for getting a car towards Holbæk parking area of Field's and further you'll find the first on to Sj. Odde or Kalundborg. Ferry timetables can be found at [http://www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien] but they run quite frequentlyramp. Be aware that there are two on-ramps joining each other when heading west make sure to be on the ferry from Kalundborg is very slow (about 3 hours to Aarhus)most busy one.

Copenhagen's public transportation system is one of Europe's easiest to use for free. All the S-Trains and Metros can be entered without having to cross any gates=== South towards [[Rødby]], the only thing to watch out for are ticket inspectors. Those usually wear a uniform on the Metro and sometimes do on S-Trains. Chances are not very high that they'll show up, but they exist. When you see them, just run away from them and leave the train asap, pretending not to understand etc. Although they do, they are legally not allowed to hold you, but they can block your path. If they can't check whether the address you're telling them is correct or if you're a foreigner (and not really under an obligation to pay any fines anyway), they might try to take the money you have with you, so better (pretend to) not have money for paying this. [i had to pay 700 dkk -hf[Germany]]. Using public transportation is, by the way, an excellent way to get through Copenhagen if you're travelling between Sweden and the South/West.===

Copenhagen 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 city whose dumpsters are 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 generous source of foodcar going towards ''Rødby''. Ask the locals or check out trashwiki for more informationHave in mind that most people are going west.

You can camp here: Naturcenter Vestamager, Granatvej 3-15, 2770 Kastrup. ThereIt is preferable to find a car going with the ferry to Germany before reaching ''Rødby''s a metro stop close by, on as the M1 line, called Vestamager. It has water, toilets, ferry operator sometimes will tell you can make a bonfireto go away, etc..Iteven though it's a proper free of charge camping site, for more info before the check:http://www.naturstyrelsenin.dk/Naturoplevelser/Undervisning/Naturskoler/Hovedstaden/Naturcenter_Vestamager/

There's spots where you can camp and where there's usually some tents near Christiania, again, ask around.CHRISTIANIA INHABITANTS ARE OFFICIALLY NOT WELCOMING CAMPERS, THEY CAN BE RUDE AND THERE'S A HUGE PANEL WRITTEN NO CAMPING INSIDE. The only Most trucks going anywhere in Europe (including Great Britain) will go this way can be find and ask the right people going far away from the village. Rumors and stories of bad episodes plus general people attitude when you ask them for tips..doesn't really push you to try..other places are better!
