[[ImageFile:GranadaFlag of Europe EU.jpgpng|thumb250px|right|250pxframe|Flag of [[Robino]] hitchhiking in [[Granada]], [[SpainEuropean Union]]]]Hitchhiking in '''Europe''' is fun. There are many small countriesto enjoy hitching through, highways motorways in the West are Western parts can be exceptionally good, and overall hitchhiking is relatively safe.[[Germany]] and [[England]] are very easy. Germany for the large distances for 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 CIS-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 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.
When hitching longer distances it's generally good:Germany,Belgium,Austria,Switzerland,to stick to petrol stations on the motorway. People there go long distances and it's not uncommon to find rides of 500 km and longer.
