== Hitchhiking out ==
=== East towards [[Utrecht]], [[Germany]] and South towards [[Den Haag|The Hague]], [[Rotterdam]], [[Belgium]] ===
Now this spot can be a bit tricky to get to, but it's the perfect spot for heading South and a great way for heading East. From the center it's about an 45 minutes to an hour's walk. From Train and bus station "Leiden Lammerschans" it should only be a about twenty minutes as follows:
To hitch SOUTH to Rotterdam go right which leads to the '''A4'''.
Remember as always in [[Netherlands|The Netherlands]], do not go past the signs that have the motorway or highway symbol on them, as you may get fined.
=== North towards [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|Schiphol]], [[Amsterdam]], [[Utrecht]] ===
Note the reason Utrecht is listed under both East and North is that while the N11 (a local road) is the most direct way another common way of travelling to Utrecht is to pass over the South ring of Amsterdam, and so you can catch rides quite well this way too.
