Hitchhiking in '''Europe''' is fun. There are many small countries, highways in the West are good and hitchhiking is relatively safe.
Some countries, such as [[Germany]] are quite easy to hitch around. [[Germany]] for the large distances in a single lift, and the possibility to go really fast (no legal speed limits on many highways). [[England]] for the relative short time for waiting. Most other countries are at the European average (rather easy), e.g. the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]] and Eastern countries. Some other countries are considered bad for the long waiting times like [[Spain]] and [[Croatia]], but even there you might get a ride with some patience. Some people skip a country after standing in one place for over two hours. When this happens more than once on suitable places for hitching, this is reasonable.
