You can easily hitch out of Brussels in direction East from the European / Business Quarter.
* The first option is to hitch '''Option 1.''' Start hitching at the entrance of the Tunnel located at the gate of the Jubelpark (/Parc du Cinquentenaire) on the Blijde-Inkomst laan (Inkomstlaan/Avenue de la Joyeuse-Entree) Entrée on the side of the 'Rond-Point Schuman' (metro access 1A/1B direction Herrmann-Debroux/Stokkel). There is a street light and a side parking just at the entrance of the tunnel, you may simply stand by the light with a sign and the cars can immediately pull over to pick you. This hitching point is an easy start to go to [[Leuven]] or [[Liège|Liege]] or possibly reach the services in Leuven on the E40 or on the E314.
''(Note: this This spot works perfectly during business hours, but the traffic is low on Sundays or during holidays; note that it is also possible to catch a ride in direction North [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]] from there too , but a sign is required)''
* '''Option 2.''' Another, second, good option is to hitch at the red lights on the [http://maps.google.be/maps?f=q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=rue+du+belliard+10+,+bruxelles&sll=50.84508,4.369297&sspn=0.010351,0.026608&ie=UTF8&ll=50.844945,4.368825&spn=0.010704,0.026608&z=15&iwloc=addr Rue du Belliard]. It's a one way street with 4 lanes and most cars enter the Tunnel at the end of the street that goes onto the motorway towards [[Leuven]], [[Liège|Liege]] and [[Aachen]]. Make sure to ask your driver they go onto the motorway and go towards [[Leuven]]. The first petrol station on the motorway is right after the exit to [[Leuven]]. If your driver goes to [[Leuven]] he can miss hes his turn and still go to the town through the petrol station. Nearby public transportation to this second hitch spot are Metro station "Trone/Troon" and also several bus lines.
* A third option is to go '''Option 3.''' Get to Metro premetro Station "Diamant". You can get there by getting taking the metro to Schuman (Direction 1/5 Stockel/Hermann-Debroux), and change then to bus 79 (direction Kraainem)or take tram no. 25 from Rogier. Cross "Bld. Auguste Reyers" in east eastern direction. Then walk to the spot on the small street, just after the traffic lights, that leads to the A3-motorway. There is plenty of space for cars to pull over.
=== North towards [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]], [[Breda]], [[Rotterdam]], [[Utrecht]], [[Amsterdam]] ===
