→Great for long distances: tweak english. "immatriculation" is not an english word, I had to look it up!
== Great for long distances ==
Luxembourg is a great country to catch a long distance ride, due to its central location in [[Europe]]. Many drivers stop here to take advantage of the low duties on fuel, alcohol, and chocolate. Most motorways leaving Luxembourg have a large [[rest area|service area]] which are the best places to get ongoing lifts. However, much of the traffic are drivers coming from just a few kilometres over the border in matter order to get cheaper fuel. Therefore, for a long distance ride, it may be wise to have a [[signs|sign]] specifying your direction and destination or simply to preselect the drivers according to the immatriculation registration of their car in matter order to have a less frustrating experience.
Especially ''Aire de Capellen Sud'' is great. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) has found direct rides to [[Avignon]], [[Valencia]] and even [[Morocco]], with waiting times of less than 1 hour.
Local hitchhiking in the countryside of Luxembourg is somewhat less straightforward as hitchhiking is not so common by local inhabitants.
Tickets for local transport across the country, both trains and buses are only EUR 2.00 for two hours, with unlimited transfers, or EUR 4 for one day. This includes some buses going abroad crossing the border (e.g. to [[Bastogne]]). The cheap public transport and the low chances of locals stopping for you makes it best to simply take a bus towards one of the petrol stations on the motorway when going further away out of the country.
