Changes

'''Aarhus''' (until 2010 and still commonly used: ''Århus'') is the second-largest city of [[Denmark]]. It is also known as the city of smiles. :)

You can == Hitchhiking out ==  === North towards [[Aalborg]], [[Frederikshavn]] === Take the 14 bus from Århus city center towards Sabro and get very good maps of Aarhus for free off at Tilst Vestervej/Frømosevej. Walk to the tourist informationcrossroads next to Netto and turn right. There is a lane where cars can easily pull over, it this is inside the library Dokk1 located at the harbour, 700 ma great place to stand with a sign saying Aalborg. There is a traffic sign there which forbids pedestrians from walking along Viborgvej any further. This is the closest point on Viborgvej to the train stationE45 highway onramp where you can safely hitchhike.

In the library Dokk1 there is the turist information and there are computers and WiFi that you can use for freeCoordinates of this spot: 56°11'13. (wifi is called SmartAarhus - ask for someone1"N 10°05's danish phone number to log-in as a guest). You can also find lockers there where You can store your lugage for free in their opening hours, using a 20 kroner coin that you will get back15.6"E

On === North West towards [[Viborg]], [[Thisted]] and North West Jutland === One option is the train station there are luggage boxes where you can store your luggage ( 20 kroners per day for small one, 40 kroners for a big one)same spot as described towards Aalborg and Fredrikshavn.

There used to be municipal bicycles (blue or colorful, with thick construction) which you could use for 20 kroners without any limitations (on Take the internet 11 bus towards Harlev get off at "Tre Ege/Silkeborgvej" you can find hitch a map of car from the stands for these bicycles. Many of them busstop, make sure that they are already takengoing on highway 15, so stands can be empty. If you manage to find one, be aware that quality is not perfect.)towards Herning

The best spot to go is definitely located near ''Viby Torv''. Take bus #1a, #6a, #4a, #200, or #14 towards ''Viby Torv''. Get out there, walk some meters back to the big traffic light and go to the left into the ''Viby Ringvej''. You can buy tickets 'll also recognize signs announcing the motorway. Walk along this street for busses & letbanen in Aarhus area using phone app Midtraffic. For train around 1 km, then the on- DSB appramp for the motorway appears.In Aarhus (and the rest of Denmark) There's enough space for you can use to stand on, easy to catch cars in all directions. Most cars are driving from the app/homepage "rejseplanen"other direction, which shows so it will be faster to cross the roads (you the easiest will have to cross a road where it is not allowed to walk by foot, and also go under a tunnel, but it takes only 2 minutes and fastest it is really way more easy to use the public transportationcatch a ride). Google Maps works just fine tooMost cars stopping only goes to Skanderborg, but if you want to get further south (Germany), only accepting cars to at least Vejle Nord is a good idea, as there are so many cars stopping here, that you will eventually get a ride to at least Vejle in a short time. Here it pays to be patient!

Yellow bussesAnother great spot towards the south is Infoteria Petersminde. This is a highway restaurant which is frequented by a lot of traffic going towards the German border. From my experience it is way easier here to get a ride all the way to the German border than at the spot near Viby Torv. I actually started hitchhiking at the Viborgvej/hasle ringvej bus stop but you can also take a bus there or from the city towards tilst. You get off at the bus stop near Netto on Viborgvej. The next step is to subsequently follow grydhøjparken, Munkevejen, Bavnehøjvej, Lyngbygardsvej, trains and Letbanen finally you can enter freely with turn left into a risk dirt road which leads to some sort of 750dkk (100eur) finecar dealership indicated on Google maps as SS Auto. In Blue regional busses There you will reach some woods which you will have to enter at . There is a pathway which leads through the driver and show\buy a ticket (you can try woods to walk past by showing an expired ticket)the infoteria.
