'''Jyväskylä''' is a city in [[Finland]].
== Hitching out Out ==
===South-west towards [[Tampere]], [[Turku]] (9/E63) or west towards [[Keuruu]] (23)===
There's a pretty good hh-spot just next to the university's campus called Mattilanniemi. '''Coming from the center:''' follow the street called '''Kauppakatu''' (the name changes into '''Seminaarinkatu''' and then to '''Alvar Aallon katu'''). Turn left to '''Kramsunkatu'''. There's a bridge for pedestrians over '''Rantaväylä''' to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.
===East toward [[Varkaus]], [[Kuopio; south ]], South towards [[Heinola]], [[Lahti]], [[Helsinki]]===
This is a bit tricky but not impossible. '''Coming from the center:''' Cross the bridge that goes through the trainstation. There's a fair center (Messuhalli) on the other side of the train tracks and the road. Go to the left after the bridge towards the road. Go over a small knee-height fence to the road. Walk on the side of the road a bit more to find a good hh-spot, where the cars have enough space to stop. '''If this doesn't work out''', walk down the road some more until you reach a pedestrian path on your right hand side. Follow it until it goes up in a bridge to cross the highway. Hitchhike before the bridge, because that's where the cars start speeding up.
