Not a good spot, a lot of people go really fast and are angry at you, someone honked angrily and we even got one middle finger, after trying for hour and half, we lost hope, but after 20 minutes someone took us to Haparanda. It was probably because we had a bad sign and it was Saturday, but still―Daave

A better hitchhiking spot probably doesn’t exist. It’s the entrance to the road that connects north to south Sweden. Tourists, locals, workers, really anyone going to Sweden has to take this E4 road. Stick your thumb out, or make sign if you really want to be specific, because this will help you get far into Sweden, wherever it may be. It might even be better if you take this road if you are planning to go to Kiruna or/and Norway, since the road from Töre has more traffic then the ones in Finland and the Swedish road next to the Torneå river. ==> highly recommend!―Tuunu

I went to this spot on a Sunday morning, so traffic was low but still flowing constantly. So this spot might be too busy on weekdays. However, drivers have space to stop and you are sure that almost all drivers will drive north from here.―Tuunu

Good stop for cars to stop at here, they don't accelerate much since the ramp is still close.―Jarnohitchikes

If going to Rovaniemi, don't try to hitchike directly to Rovaniemi! Hitchike to the ramp instead, it's much easier.―Jarnohitchikes

(didn't get a ride) 2 stars because there is a much better spot just down the road towards Kemi. Keep walking for a bit and there is a bus stop!―Jarnohitchikes

This spot is hard to reach, but I think there's a legal place to stop here! It's a huge bus stop basically, but it's not an actual bus stop. It's called "Vändplats" It has the traffic sign that you aren't allowed to park there but you are allowed to stop there. Had a truck stop there for me and took me straight to Tornio! Look at this spot with street view.―Jarnohitchikes

Bus stop and a good amount of time to stop. Speed camera just before so cars dont have too much speed. Lots of traffic. Got a ride from transfer car driver and got a ride to the highway intersection―Jouskapouska

I would say one of the best spots on the way to Rovaniemi. Basically, all the cars going to Rovaniemi go on this road, and because it is rural, I believe they are much more willing to stop.―martih

This is the place to get off for connection on E75. Works north towards Rovaniemi, south towards Oulu and east towards Tornio and Sweden. Please notice that the road from Tornio to border of Kemi and Simo municipalities is motorway where hitchhiking is neither allowed practical as cars go 120kph.―Antik
