__NOTOC__
The communities of Finnish '''Tornio''' (Northern Sami: ''Duortnus'', Swedish: ''Torneå'') and Swedish '''Haparanda''' (Finnish: ''Haaparanta'') function as a single city split over the border of [[Finland]] and [[Sweden]] along the northern Baltic Sea. There are no border checkpoints and people can freely move from one side to another. == Hitchhiking Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Luleå]] ===
In Haparanda, next to Ikea, there is a [[roundabout]] where the road 99 branches off the [[E4]]. Best results are achieved by standing next to the E4 some 50–100 m after the roundabout. There's some space room for cars to pull over and stop.
=== Other possibilities ===
Other possibilities are to ask at one of the two petrol stations north of the mentioned roundabout. In summer, most drivers were saying that they are going north ''(so maybe this is a good spot for this direction?)''. You can also ask people at the Ikea ''(maybe good for going east to Finland?)''.
