Hitchhiking out

West towards Antwerp or Leuven and Brussels

Coordinates: 50.9428, 5.2916 ^Google OSM
Take the free(!) bus H1 in the direction of Spalbeek or Kermt, you can take this bus at various places in Hasselt, including the train-station. Get out at the busstop Kuringen - Stevoortse Kiezel, right after the bridge and the highway entrance towards Antwerpen/Brussels and walk back the 100 meters to the entrance. It takes the bus about ten minutes from the train-station to get there. It is probably the best hitchhiking spot in this direction, since the cars don't drive fast and there's a place where they can easily stop without blocking the traffic. Waiting times are on average 5 to 10 minutes.

All the motorway ramps in Hasselt are suitable for east- and west directions.

Public transport

Public transport in the center of the city is free.
