Firenze (Florence) is a city in Italy.

Hitchhiking out

North towards Bologna E 35

Untested, but the other side of the autogrill listed for going south should have plenty of traffic going north past Firenze.

Another option: Fedcas took the train from Firenze to Pratignone (1,90€, about 20 min), then it's a 5 min walk to the A1 highway (see the spot on the map, Pratignone is N-W from Florence, where A1 crosses A11). It's a big commercial area so there are lot of trucks during the working days.

Yet another option: take a bus from the train station (santa maria novella) to the airport, where the A11 highway starts. (The best option is to take the bus that goes to the airport, as there are many busy intersecting highways in the area that are difficult to cross if you don't get dropped off in the right place.) There is a petrol station on via vialle alessandro guidoni, near where the highway starts.

South towards Rome, Napoli E 35

Guaka and amylin were dropped at a good motorway entry south from Firenze. You might be able to get here with bus no 36 or 37. You can stand underneath a bridge, way before the usual big sign saying "NO autostop".

There is a great autogrill on the A1 southeast of the city near the town of Antella, lots of cars and trucks going south. Take bus 31 or 32 from 'Piazza San Marco' to the last stop in Antella. From here you can walk about a kilometer or take bus 24 to 'Peruzzi 04.' You can see the autogrill from the 'Peruzzi 04' stop. There is a fence, but the gate was unlocked. If you choose to walk then just stay on the main road that goes through the north part of town along the A1 until you get to the autogrill (just follow the 24 route). The road doesn't have a side walk, but there isn't much traffic. You'll go up a hill as you exit the town, the autogrill is at the top of the hill. If you want to go north there is also an autogrill on the other side of the A1 here. There is a road that takes you under the A1 to the other side. Trewge found a ride to Rome almost instantly.

Another option: see "going North" paragraph

West towards Pisa

When hitchhiking to Pisa, try to go by motorway Firenze-Mare, which you can reach by going to the airport. Don't go by the federal road, there are no petrol stations and lots of "No autostop" signs.
