'''Bruges''' (Brugge) is a town in [[Belgium]].

== Hitchhiking out ==

~~<map lat='51.200215' lng='3.225517' zoom='11' view='0' float='right' height='380' width='350'/>~~

~~'''~~=== Towards [[Oostende]], [[Calais]],etc~~. '''~~===

Take the bus for 'Loppem' from the main station. Get off at the stop just before Loppem village. There is a motorway exit to stand at 200m from here.

'''Method 1: '''

~~Walk away from the station of Brugge, direction A17 is your best shot~~Google maps: 56J4+H3G Bruges. ~~Heading St-Michiels, at the Koning Albert laan, there are some Gas stations, and this road leads to all major motorways. It's still easy to stop here for cars to pick someone up.~~ ~~To get to there from the Brugge train station you can take~~ Take bus number 7 ~~heading for cinema center~~ /27 to Kinepolis ~~and then~~ . There’s a layby just ~~follow~~ after the ~~people going to~~ last roundabout before the ~~cinema:)~~motorway, ~~as it is located very close to the motorways.~~ ~~Addition~~ or some gas stations earlier on 8 Feb 2011: Reconstruction of the 'Expresweg' of E403/N351 around Bruges, makes it now NOT the best place to hitchhike out of Bruges. Before it were good, fast and safe spots. Now I would prefer Method 2.

'''Method 2: '''

From that entrance in Oostkamp, you can go in any direction and country. Make a sign that says: 'Gent', 'Torhout' or 'Jabbeke'.

~~Waiting time~~ === Towards [[The Netherlands]], [[Amsterdam]] === About 30 minute walk from the main city center you will find a road called Maalse Steenweg. This road (N9) will lead towards Ghent, Antwerp (E34) and the Netherlands (E19, A12 etc). You can hitchhike from anywhere in this road (it is a rather small local road but a lot of people take this road to exit the city), but there is a busy intersection and bus stop in front of a McDonalds (Maalse Steenweg 225) where you can easily catch a ride on to E34. === Towards Oostkamp, [[Gent|Ghent]], [[Brussels]] ===When getting out of the main entrance of the train station, walk straight and follow the main road to the right. Walk straight for about 1,5 km. You'll pass some bus parkings, some small channels and a huge bridge. Just behind this bridge, at the traffic light, walk to the right again. There you'll find three petrol stations. You can just hitch next to the road at the first or second station, passing traffic can easily stop here. Most rides go to Oostkamp, ask your driver to drop you out close to the on-ramp of the highway. There, you can continue hitchhiking east- or westwards. === E403 to [[Lille]], [[Paris]] ===Walk the N397 right down to the Roundabout to the E403 after the Kineopolis Bridge there is a parking line for trucks. Position yourself close to the ramp to the ~~2 spots are very little~~roundabout. Took me 30 minutes to find a ride. == Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[nomad:Beuges]] [[trash:Bruges]]
