Hitchhiking in the '''Netherlands''' is quite easy, and legal in most places, though not on motorways. The basic idea is that when you're allowed to walk somewhere, you can stand there for hitching too. [[Image:HitchDelft.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[User:Mdsmendes|Mdsmendes]] hitching in the Netherlands]]
Standing on a motorway entrance just in front of the highway sign is allowed as well as standing on a petrol station along the motorway.

The Netherlands is one of the rare country where you can find cheap pot of 'Peanut Butter', which is a nutritive item that you can easily carry in your backpack. Also, you can find tube of 'mayonnaise' and 'ketchup' sauce ''(Zaanse sauce)'' for about 30 cents, which can last long without needing to be refrigerated and are a great supplements to sandwiches or ''frieten'' (as it avoid having to pay the 50 cents sauce at the 'frietkot' when ordering a snack).
