== Hitching Out ==
If you want to get == Hitchhiking out == Hitching out of Oslo, it's proven is usually difficult in from the inner citycenter (except going south). There are several highway motorway entrances behind the tunnel, . The further outside the further outcity you are, the easier it gets.
=== North towards [[Trondheim]]===
The trip to === North towards [[Trondheim takes one day. ]] {{E|6}} or northwest towards [[Molde]] or [[Ålesund]] ===
Around IKEA (Furuset] is an area where most trucks start. There This is a superb spot for heading north/northwest: a "Circle K" petrol station on the [[E6]] direction North which can be reached walking with the free IKEA shuttle bus. This blue bus is leaving from Fred Olsens gate 5 every hour on the "o'clock". It operates from 10.00 until 22.00 on weekdays and from 09.00 until 20.00 on saturdays. You could also jump on the metro station "line 1 or 2 to the stop (Trosterud") at earlier/later hours, sundays and it leaves at higher frequencies, East but that would cost a one-zone ticket of the centre35 NOK.
:[[User:abstorz|abstorz]] was able The Circle K is 10 minutes walk from IKEA. Once you are at IKEA just walk around the building to hitch it's right side, and you'll se a ride onto pedestrian tunnel taking you under the E6. Straight on the other side, look to your right, a pathway following the highway behind takes you directly to the tunnel in the area of Etterstadspot. When going north, but it you can't quite easily find a ride here. Anyways, for shorter rides, the first good petrol station on the highway is called "Skedsmokorset". You might be bad offered rides to the Oslo airport, in case you are trying to get even further out of the city. Once on the highway everything went fine, make sure you jump off at Skedsmokorset.
=== South towards [[Göteborg]] and [[Stockholm]] ===
If you want to go === South-East via the towards [[E6Göteborg]] take metro no. 3 to "Mortensrud" {{E|6}} and get off at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Ask drivers there. Very good spot!east towards [[Stockholm]] {{E|18}} ===
You can also take Note: If you're heading to Sweden on the regional train going "Ski" and get off at "Nordstrand" station, one stop after Oslo-S. Once at Nordstrand, turn left and go down E18 you have to start on the little hillE6. The large road with a lot of traffic Be very careful as there is only one point where the E6 branches to the [[E18]]. You can walk about 5-10 minutes in It's fairly easy to miss, but when you see it ask the direction of Oslo (turning right) driver to the Ulvøya Island crossroadturn off even if they are continuing south. There is a bus stop right after a traffic light and roundabout where you can get picked up quite easily. Have a sign out, and avoid anyone going in then the driver can get back on the direction of [[Stockholm]]E6.
Alternatively you may want to try Esso gas station (diesel is cheaper there so lots of people fills up there and other advantage is there is a MC D. right next to it). To get there, take subway to Hellerud, turn right into Smalvollveien and walk till you get to Esso.'''Option 1 - Barcode '''
Please note that even if With the new iconic addition to the Oslo high-rise waterfront, Barcode, hitchhiking south directly from the city centre has become much easier, and thus removed the need for the 30 minute metro ride to Mortensrud (option 2). From the central station, just pass the high-rises until the end, where it turns right (and south). Follow the sidewalk on this for about 250 meters, until you are headed get to Stockholma traffic light. On the right side of the road, there is so little traffic on possible for cars to stop (parking forbidden sign does not mean cars can't pull over). You only need a ride to the [[E18]] that you better go South to [[Göteborg]] via [[E6]] and then East shell station at Mortensrud in order to [[Stockholm]] via [[Jönköping]]get going further.
=== West towards [[Bergen]] ==='''Option 2 - Mortensrud '''
To Take metro line 3 to "Mortensrud" and get off at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Either ask drivers there, hitchhike on the busstop on the motorway just 100 meters next to Bergenthe gasstation, take on the local train out to "Sandvika"onramp itself, from where you can either take a bus or walk along on the busstop before the road (quite a few k's) until it turns from dual carriageway onramp. Basically just go there and find your favorite way to find a simple country road, where you can just hitch along the sideride going south.
Alternatively take the train ''' Option 3 - From Ljansbakken (closer to "Honefoss", walk up the hill and out to city than the road, and there is an information point where itother ones) '''s easy for drivers to pull in- all traffic from Oslo to Bergen goes past this point.
Hitchhiking from Oslo to Bergen can be pretty challenging in winter.I have tried from west Take one of Oslo and without any luck I turned to the area where the goods terminals located.It is in the north east side of the city.Keep in mind most of the trucks are using RV 7 to go to Bergen and try to avoid being left at the small towns like Golfollowing buses 83, 500,Hemsedal which can prove very hard to get out of.If you want to cover a long distance by a truck your best chance T9 to get a truck to your destination from Schenker Goods Terminal near Alna Senter.From the central station you can eighter take subway to Tveita Metro stop and walk across the E6 by Ytre Ringvei or take the train to AlnaLjansbakken.You will not miss huge Schenker sign board.It This spot is forbidden to enter before the terminal area so wait outside the gate road turns into a motorway at the Alnabruveien and Terminalveien a busstop with plenty of space for people to pull over safely, a sign of your destination,by doing might be useful at this you would also catch up a ride by Tollpost Globe ASs trucks.The trucks continues on Alnabruveien keeps eighter on the E6 South,E18 West or E16.Trucks leaving for E6 north turn into Terminalveienspot.
==Hitching In=='''Option 4 - Hellerud '''
===From Oslo You may want to try Esso petrol station (Ryggediesel is cheaper there so lots of people fills up there and other advantage is there is a MC D. right next to it) Airport===. To get there, take subway to Hellerud, turn right into Smalvollveien and walk till you get to Esso. Some might find useful to know that there seem to be fewer ticket controls on that line.
Oslo (Rygge) is an airport located about 75 km South of Oslo, on the [[E6]] direction [[Göteborg]]. To reach Oslo via HH, you simple need a sign for Oslo and you can either hitch from the airport or walk about 1,5 km to the Rygge on-ramp where local traffic passes. The first petrol station is a few kilometres North, around Moss. From there it's rather easy to get a direct ride to Oslo.
The ticket is 26 kr. Note that you can buy it on the train (for 40 kr if you buy it from a person instead of the machine) and they might not check, but it's almost impossible to dodge on regional trains.== Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==

'''Oslo''' is the capital of [[Norway]].
=== West towards [[Bergen]], or southwest towards [[Stavanger]] and [[Kristiansand]]=== The road to Bergen diverges from the southwestern road at Sandvika. If your ride is going the other way, just get off at one of the gas stations before Sandvika and keep hitchhiking from there. '''Option 1 - Onramp at Skøyen''' This option is fairly close to the city centre. Take a train or a bus to (Skøyen), and walk southwest towards the highway. There is a big roundabout a a little closer to the hightway, and a 100 meters further down the onramp you'll see a bus stop with plenty of space to pull over. This is a favorite spot for many hitchhikers heading west. From here option 2 is also close by, a gas station that is just 600 meters down the highway. '''Option 2 - Gas station at Maritim''' Take the bus 31 or 31E to the stop (Maritim) and walk for 50 meters to the gas station close by. The station does not have too much traffic, but it is fairly easy to hitch a ride to the next gas station on the way towards Sandvika or Drammen, where there is more traffic heading northwest and southwest. '''Option 3 - Bergen direction only - Where the motorway ended''' there is bus 200 that goes from the City, you can catch it to the stop ''Avtjerna'' and hitch from the bustop. All motorway has ended and it is just country road all the way to Bergen. The con with this option is that it the bus only goes once an hour (and once every 2 hours on sunday). It is also quite far out from Oslo, and public transport can be pricey. But if you just miss the bus you can change to option 1 or 2. '''Option 4 - Bergen direction only - Onramp at Sandvika''' Catch a train to Sandvika, when you get off the train walk in the direction the train was moving for 100 meters, turn right and then left on the bigger road (Elias Smiths Vej), follow the road until a roundabout and turn right, and you will see the entrance to the highway. There you can stand with a sign hitchhiking to Hønefoss, where there's a gas station. == Hitching In == === From Oslo (Rygge) Airport === Oslo (Rygge) is an airport located about 75 km South of Oslo, on the E6 direction Göteborg. To reach Oslo via HH, you simple need a sign for Oslo and you can either hitch from the airport or walk about 1.5 km to (North direction, along the motorway) the Rygge on-ramp where local traffic passes at the roundabout. The first petrol station is a few kilometres North, around Moss. From there it's rather easy to get a direct ride to Oslo. Yes, the airport is small, so traffic is light. When you come out of the terminal building; the motorway in front of you is the E6, and Oslo (North) is to the right. I walked the one mile along the airport service road (hitching without success)and then hitched from the roundabout. Or you can just stand at the end of the car park building on the slip road (turn right out of terminal building and walk until you reach the end of the building). I just hitched to Oslo city centre in one lift (by holding up an Oslo sign). The first car stopped. Or you can ask people at the airport if they're going to Oslo. ===From Oslo (Torp) Airport===
Oslo (Torp) is an airport located about 115 km South of Oslo, on the [[E18]] direction [[Kristiansand]].
== Public Transportation =From Oslo (Gardermoen) Airport === Oslo (Gardermoen) (OSL) Airport is located around 50 km North of Oslo, near [[E6]] towards [[Lillehammer]]. To reach Oslo, simply go to the multi-storey car park which is adjacent to the terminal and then follow arrows to the exit. Then head to the gates where drivers pay for the parking, it's at the exit from the car park area. Stand right behind these gates. Payment takes a couple of whiles and drivers should have the time to notice you, there's also a plenty of place for them to stop to pick you up.
