Take a tram/bus to STENENBURG stop - any of 21, 24, 242, 420, 421, 422, 423, 429. Once you get off there, turn left and go under the bridge. After you cross the bridge, turn right and keep going straight on, until you see signs of Brussels. After a while you will notice a motorway on your left going in direction of Brussels. Go until the traffic lights and cross them twice following the road signs. You will notice a good interstate, with an emergency line, where you get your rides very fast (took me around 2 minutes).
 
=== East/northeast towards [[Liège|Liege]] / [[Eindhoven]] ===
 
Tram 10 or several buslines to Borgerhout Turnhoutsepoort, walk northeast over the Turnhoutsebaan for only 250 meters, passing the railway tunnel and crossroads and hitch after the motorway sign, start of the A13/E313, on the bridge over the R1/E19. Later on this highway splits in two highways (A13/E313+A21/E34), so make sure you find a ride in the right direction. A sign could be very useful. Just before the split is a petrol station. This is in 'Wommelgem/Ranst'.
=== North towards [[Amsterdam]] ===
If you are heading for [[Utrecht]] or [[Amsterdam]], make sure your driver isn't going to [[Bergen op Zoom]].
There is a massive service station (Hazeldonk-Oost), before [[Breda]], on the Dutch-Belgian border, where it is easy to hitch-hike for example near the exit from the petrol-station. You just have to write a board, because the highway divides into two directions nearby.
=== Most directions ===

Another option is the motorway at the Luitenant Lippenslaan (a continuation of the Plantin en Moretuslei), the on-ramps there are good for heading to [[Gent]], [[Paris]], [[Brussels]], the west of the [[Netherlands]] and possibly more directions. Make sure to make a [[signs|sign]] as people can go many directions.
Nearby metro stops include 'Draakplaats' and 'De roma'.
 
The direction from Antwerpen to [[Netherlands]] (Eindhoven, Maastricht), also direction to [[Hasselt]]: motorway [[E313]]. You have to go to the end of the Platin en Moretuslei and on the big crossroad turn left. Then go straight ahead until you will see big sign (Eindhoven, Hasselt), which you have to follow. Near the sign there is good place to hitch hike. Also the motorway exit at Turnhoutsebann is good.
 
For Hitchhiking towards Eindhoven go to the end of the ''Platin en Moretuslei'', go under the tunnel, cross the big crossroad straight. From then you will see signs towards E34 & E313 and it's a 5 minutes walk. In the curve of the ramp is plenty of space for both you and the driver. Later on this highway splits in two highways, so make sure you find a ride in the right direction. A sign could be very useful. Just before the split is a petrol station. This is in 'Wommelgem/Ranst'.
