'''Luxembourg''' is a small country in Western [[Europe]], bordered by [[Belgium]], [[Germany]] and [[France]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
Most people speak not only the local language, Lëtzebuergish (Luxembourgeois)Luxembourgish, but also French, German and English fluently.
== Great for long distances ==
Luxembourg is a great country to catch a long distance ride, due to its central location in [[Europe]]. Many drivers stop here to take advantage of the low duties on fuel, alcohol, and chocolate. Most motorways leaving Luxembourg have a large [[rest area|service area]] which are the best places to get ongoing lifts. However, much of the traffic are drivers coming from just a few kilometres over the border in matter order to get cheaper fuel. Therefore, for a long distance ride, it may be wise to have a [[signs|sign]] specifying your direction and destination or simply to preselect the drivers according to the immatriculation registration of their car in matter order to have a less frustrating experience.
Especially ''Aire de Capellen Sud'' is great. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) has found direct rides to [[Avignon]], [[Valencia]] and even [[Morocco]], with waiting times of less than 1 hour.
Local hitchhiking in the countryside of Luxembourg is somewhat less straightforward as hitchhiking is not so common by local inhabitants.
== Living ==
Luxembourg is a very expensive country. Restaurants and accommodation is are expensive. The cheapest youth hostel in Luxembourg City will be EUR 20 per night. Luxembourg has a huge financial sector - many banks, [[insurance]]s companies etc. As an anti-capitalist you may feel a little cold there ;) == Cities ==
