=== East towards [[= 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..(This spot was used for Malmö]]in July 2018 and just waited 20 min for a ride!)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.

To get ==== Option 2: Tårnby ====On the road to Malmö, leading to Swedenthe bridge, you want might be able to move out of city center towards Øresundsbronhitch a ride. You can enter the metro freely without any checkpoints or turnstiles. Ticket controls are more frequent than in the S-trains and as expensive (750 DKK = ~100€!!). Ticket controllers (or "stewards", as they are called) do not always check tickets when entering To get to this spot take a regional train, so best thing is to just act normal and get off at next Tårnby from Copenhagen Central station. In general, The slip road to the bridge is on the people who freeride most efficiently sit in front opposite side of the train, thus being able road to spot any controllers on each Tårnby station . Not much space to stop but as the train enters the platform. No rights can be derived from this statement, traffic lights cars are going slow and it's always at your own risk get chance to freeride. But apparently the worse that can happen if you play think about it right is to ask for an invoice to be sent to your home which you will promptly ignore.!

==== Option I3: Tårnby Sydhavn ====On the road to Malmö, leading to the bridge, you might be able to hitch a ride. To get to this spot You can also take a regional train to Tårnby from Copenhagen Central Sydhavn, only 2 stops after the main stationand hitch on Sydhavnsgade. The slip road to the bridge is on the opposite side of We hitched before the road to Tårnby shell service stationbecause it was a weekend and a business carpark entry was closed. Not much space to stop but as traffic lights cars are going slow and get chance to think about it! Next to this spot, you can We also ask drivers at the hypermarket, where saw people with a sign just after shell. Its a lot of Swedes go shopping before returning homegood road. (probably not as common anymore since the strong danish krona have made it expensive for Swedes to shop in DenmarkWe had a lift on Sunday afternoon after 15 minutes. Nowadays danish people go to Sweden to shop)

==== Option II: Kastrup Airport Malmö ring road for those heading north toward [[Gothenburg]] or [[Stockholm]]====The best spot to Bear in mind that the Malmö ring road has no good places for hitchhike to Sweden is probably at Kastrup Airporton it. Take the metro to the station "Lufthavnen / Copenhagen Airport", leave the terminal There are a few on the other side ramps with gasstations but at all of the metro exit to the large parking lot and then go to the roundabout at the endthem getting stuck happens somewhat easily, next to McDonalds/Netto/Statoilofcourse you will always find a ride somehow. Just after the roundabout there One option that can work well is if you are heading further north and get a bus stop were ride towards Lund (20 km from the cars are able stop, which makes highway) it a good place is possible to hitchhike from. You will also be able accept the rideoffer to keep an eye on Lund and get dropped of in the gas station northwest end of Lund and hopefully spot some cars with Swedish plates hitchhhiing north west from that placeLund back to the highway. This hitchhiking spot has been used regularly by Öresund hitchhikers works really well and was also quickly in comparison to the winning choice in a Copenhagen-Malmö hitchhiking competitionringroad onramps.If you are in a hurry you shouldn't accept rides that are shorter than Malmö=== North towards [[Helsingør]], [[Sweden]], [[Stockholm]], , since it could be difficult [[Gothenburg]] === Another option for going to catch a ride along the motorway. Always try Sweden is heading north to stay out of Malmö's motorway network Helsingør and if possible prefer catching the 20 minute ferry to follow your driver into Malmö center if Helsingborg from there's no other alternative. It's much better  Take bus 4A and get off at Vibenshus Runddel. On Lyngbyvej the cars have lots of space to hitchhike Malmö's good spot (McDonalds at Stockholmsvägen) than stop, and the road becomes a highway systemshortly after.If you want There is not at lot of traffic on the small on-ramps on the way to Helsingör, so try to travel further up in Sweden you should check out get a ride all the advices given in the Sweden(Malmö)sectionway from Copenhagen to Helsingör.A sign might be of use.

==== Option III: Sydhavn ====You It cost around 29 kr. (3,90 euro) to walk on the ferry, but you can also take hitchhike a ride onto the ferry, often finding a train direct ride to SydhavnGothenburg or Stockholm, only 2 stops after by standing in front of 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 ticket booth with a sign just after shellof your destination. Its a good road. We had a lift on Sunday afternoon after 15 minutesthe cars pay for 9 passengers included in every ticket, so they can take you for free onto the ferry.

There are several ways of getting out of {{FULLPAGENAMEE}}. Just make sure you do not get stuck at Køge. If heading out of Denmark this way you do get stuck at Køge, your best bet is not the quickest as most trucks will be heading southTesla Supercharger Station behind the gas station, and there aren't a lot or at the top of service stations before [[Hamburg]]! the on ramp immediately east of the last roundabout. Heading west you have the following options:

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 donThere'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 gas petrol station - a good gas petrol station, before the highway splits south and west.

The quickest way 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 get stop next to mainland Europe the road, at the Circle K petrol station or at the busstop (Sluseholmen). There is to 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 (Scandlines) sometimes will tell you to go away, even though it's before the check in.

==== Option 1: Great spot for dumpster diving on the way ====Catch If you get stuck in the area or just get hungry, then at this spot - E20, highway exit 59, Fredericia S-tog E (sometimes its A depending First highway exit on construction/late night trainsJutland) towards Køge and get off at ''Karlslunde'' station. Walk platform the opposite direction than the train goes You can find two supermarkets ALDI and take stairs down. Under the bridge take rightREMA 1000, and then right again on a roundabout. Ignore signs saying that motorway is in the opposite direction - going this road you will end up where to dumpster dive in + a bad place. Taking Karlslunde Strandvej walk for about 1.5km. On the second roundabout take right onto Karlslunde MosevejStatoil, no clear sign where to look for but there are two wash everything. And small restaurants here (Thaiforest/Pizza)bushes, and Aldi. Walk another 1.5km where to stay for 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 minutenight.

An alternative option to get here with less walking is to go to Folehaven (See option 3) and hitch a short ride to Karlslunde gas station. There used to be an excellent bakery dumpster along the Mosevej where, but as of December 2013 it's locked. The bakery is run by kind people, however, ask for leftover bread and you'll surely be given something. There is a great dumpster right at Karlslunde station, and the Aldi's dumpster was open as well and full of goodies.  The train from the main station to Karlslunde takes you about 30 minutes, and it should take another 40 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).  Be aware the if you go wrong way you are in trouble. The highway is four lane in this place and it's almost impossible to get a ride. There is a map of the area in the train station. ==== Option 2: ==Hitchhiking in ==Take the S-tog E towards Køge and hop off at Ølby.  After getting out of the train at Ølby stationBoth from [[Malmö]], get out on the right hand side of the station, in the direction of train[[Sweden]], and move out towards motorway. You willfrom [[Hamburg]], when you exit the station[[Lübeck]] oder [[Rostock]], 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 the bridge of the train, and then hit the motorway where you have to cross the road and walk towards the '''left'''. It is illegal to walk by the side of the road, but it is possible. Obviously, walk on the left side so you're facing traffic. After 1 km of walk the road ramps up on a roundabout, which if you cross on foot, before this road meets the E20/E40 motorway in direction of [[Rødby|Rødby(havn)Germany]] (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 idea to stand with a placard for seeking a ride.  Here 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 is important to remember that you are trying to go to Rødby. Look where the cars that pass you are actually going to improve your location if needed. A certain hitchhiker was at the aforementioned Burger King exit for at least an hour and noticed that most people who went from there (at least at that time) weren't going on the way to Rødby. So this hitchhiker moved to the actual onramp out of the highway where traffic was certain to go on the intended way --and cars were coming from more directions-- and he was picked up quite shortly. ==== Option 3: ==== Catch either S-tog A, E or F and get off car 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't have any luck along the road keep walking 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 busstops [[Airport]].  Some km later From there is a big gas station where you can look for foreign cars. === 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 Helsingör, so try to get a ride all the way from Copenhagen to Helsingör. It cost around 29 krcity center by metro. Tickets are 35 DKK (3about 4,90 euro60 €) to walk on the ferry.

== Public Transportation Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == 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, 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]. 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 is a city whose dumpsters are a generous source of food. Ask the locals or check out trashwiki for more information. == Sleeping == You can camp here: Naturcenter Vestamager, Granatvej 3-15, 2770 Kastrup. There's a metro stop close by, on the M1 line, called Vestamager. It has water, toilets, you can make a bonfire, etc..It's a proper free of charge camping site, for more info check:http://www.naturstyrelsen.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 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! Or if it's cold/rainy outside you can try sleeping on the 3rd floor of Field's mall, on the bottom of the exhibition area where the lift leaves you facing, just in front of Ørestad metro/train stop.
