==Ferries towards north==
Hirtshals hosts [[Hitchhiking a boat|ferry harbours]] from where you can get to [[Norway]] (several destinations), [[Faroe Islands]] and [[Iceland]]. For detailed information about ferries and all destinations check the websites of: [http://www.smyrilline.com/ Smyril Line], [http://www.fjordline.com/ Fjord Line], [http://www.colorline.com/ Color Line], [http://www.norlines.no/ Nor Lines].
'''Taking the Color Line ferry to [[Kristiansand]]''': unfortunately payment is per car and per person so you can’t get a free ferry ride by hitching a car. The tickets are cheaper if you buy them online (you don’t no need to print them, just write down the reservation code). There is no wifi Wi-Fi in the building but there are computers with internet access in “Hyttefadet”, some sort of restaurant just 2 minutes away. (Both the building where you can buy tickets and the restaurant are marked on the map.) <small>''(April 2013)''</small>[[Image:Hirtshals townscape.jpg|thumb|right|Town landscape.]]In the restaurant as you go towards the bathroom there is another way you can take towards left, you pass through a room with slot machines and in the end on the right side there are 2 two computers with internet access. There is also a machine with coffee, hot chocolate, etc. that doesn’t doesn't require coins. It's not obvious who is supposed to have access to this area maybe if you keep a low profile , you can ask at the desk or just sneak in without paying anything. <small>''(April 2013)''</small>
On the ferry (ship “Superspeed 1”) there is an area with reserved tables for [[Hitchhiking a truck|truck drivers]] who can get food eat there (company pays for them and it’s an open buffet with drinks). A truck drivers driver can take you there and no one might ask you anything. [[User:Suman Mircea|Suman Mircea]] didn’t didn't see anyone checking people at the entrance to this area, maybe he/she the responsible person was temporarily away but either way if you keep a low profile you could probably just walk in (tables for truck drivers have some sort of “reserved” card on them). This area is towards the front of the ship, possibly on deck 8. <small>''(April 2013)''</small>
You can walk around even to other areas of the ship without being asked questions; you can use an empty seat in “Business” or “Voyager” class to sleep.
