== Public Transportation ==
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 ==
DO NOT go to Naturcenter Vestamager at Granatvej.
Instead, check this map for some spots with 4 shelter places and 2 primitive campsites: http://map.krak.dk/m/KmBwE
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. Rumours 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. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Sevetse Sevetse]
slept there on a Friday night and no one ever came to disturb, not even for cleaning (which they might do sometimes). There is free wifi and toilets open all night long. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Sevetse Sevetse] slept on big cushions available at the time.
[UPDATE] http://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Elle tried to sleep there this night (2017-06-26) but about midnight came security guy and told her that she cant sleep there. But there is option to take train (tog) next to the Field's mall, under metro, to airport (just 2 stops) and sleep there. Just be sure to wake up before 6-7a.m. because if you oversleep security would wake you up and will ask you to show your plane ticket.
Lockers can be found for daytime activities at both the National Museum (closes 17:00) and The Satents Museum for Kunst, (Closes 20:00.) Lockers cost 10dkk which is refunded upon return.
In summer there are some free (cold) showers at the public bathing sides along Sydhaven: 55.66338, 12.56516 | 55.66338, 12.56516 | 55.66338, 12.56516

== Hitchhiking in ==
Both from [[Malmö]], [[Sweden]], and from [[Hamburg]], [[Lübeck]] oder [[Rostock]], [[Germany]], it is a good idea to get out of the car at the [[Airport]]. From there you can get to the city center by metro. Tickets are 35 DKK (about 4,60 €).
=== Ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] ===
Hitching a ferry between [[Sjælland]] and [[Jylland]] is possible, too, as you don't pay per person but per car on the ferry. Option #1 mentioned [[#West_towards_Roskilde.2C_Fyn_or_Jylland|above]] is probably the best way for getting a car towards Holbæk and further on to Sj. Odde or Kalundborg. Ferry timetables can be found at [http://www.mols-linien.dk/english Mols-Linien] but they run quite frequently. Be aware that the ferry from Kalundborg is very slow (about 3 hours to Aarhus).
