Hitching out of Oslo is difficult from the city center. There are several motorway entrances behind the tunnel. The further outside the city you are, the easier it gets.
=== North towards [[Trondheim]] {{European Route NumberE|6}} ===
The trip to Trondheim takes one day.
:[[User:abstorz|abstorz]] was able to hitch a ride onto the motorway behind the tunnel in the area of Etterstad, but it can't be bad to get even further out of the city. Once on the motorway everything went fine.
=== South towards [[Göteborg]] {{European Route NumberE|6}} and [[Stockholm]] {{European Route NumberE|18}} ===
If you want to go south-east on the [[E6]] 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. Ask drivers there. Very good spot!
If you want to cover a long distance by a truck your best chance 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 Alna.You will not miss huge Schenker sign board.It is forbidden to enter the terminal area so wait outside the gate at the Alnabruveien and Terminalveien with a sign of your destination,by doing 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 Terminalveien.
==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.
I was heading East to Töcksfors (just over the Swedish border on the E18) so got dropped at the junction of the 151 near the town of Son and continued East from there. Not the easiest hitch (4 hours) but still much quicker than getting the airport bus into Oslo and then the Stockholm bus back out to Töcksfors. I found drivers friendly, willing to go a little out of their way, and everyone spoke good English.
===From Oslo (Torp) Airport===
Oslo (Torp) is an airport located about 115 km South of Oslo, on the [[E18]] direction [[Kristiansand]].
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.
==Other Useful Info==
Free luggage storage: There are free lockers in the main Oslo library if you want to store luggage for free (you need a ten kroner coin, which you'll get back after).
