Italy
,no edit summary
If you make a [[sign]], try writing the name of a sensibly chosen city some 200-300km in the right direction. For example, if you're heading from Milano to Napoli, few people will be going that far in one stretch. So try writing first ''Firenze'', then ''Roma'' and finally ''Napoli''. You might get there in just those three stops.
Trucks do not drive on either Saturdays or Sundays, so if you prefer to drive with them, a good time to get a ride with them is early morning on a Monday.
== Legal situation ==
== Safety ==
The northern part of Italy is quite safe, but take care in the South. When pitching a tent in the wild, make very sure to stay out of sight. Roads are often not laid out for bicyclists and pedestrians which makes it harder to walk towards or find good spots. Some areas, especially on the outskirts of cities such as [[Rome]], can be dodgy for single female travellers for the reason that prostitutes frequent these places. When you get into a car, make sure that the driver's motives are not determined by his meat loaf.
== Language Getting out==
There are a lot of tourists from Austria and Germany, especially in summertime. The new European car plates start with a letter on the left side of the plate, representing the country. Most Austrian (A on a plate) and German (D on a plate) are on the way to the sea or on their way back from holidays, so if you want to go North or South, try to find Germans or Austrians (usually, they speak better English than the Italians, too).
Another option is stay on the [[A4 (Italy)|A4]] and ask trucks on the petrol stations. Many trucks go to Austria, Slovakia, Poland and more north through Slovenia to tank diesel there because there is cheaper diesel and on the roads there aren't so many hills so it saves fuel.

=== Towards [[Austria]] Ferries between Italy and Greece ===Take the motorway [[A23 (Italy)|A23]] (in the It's possible to hitchhike from south-eastern part of Italy) to [[Austria]] (don't try to hitchhike through [[Switzerland]]Greece, but it's very seems to be quite difficult). Follow the Find more information [[A23 (Italy)Ferries_between_Italy_and_Greece|A23here]] to [[Villach]] and [[Salzburg]] to get through . == Language == As in any foreign country, learning some of the Alps very easylanguage is recommended. On that wayAside from Italian and local dialects, you will also find a lot French is spoken in some areas of people heading to [[Hungary]]Piedmont and Aosta, [[Slovakia]] and [[Slovenia]]as well as German in South Tyrol.You can also try to hitch [[A22 (Italy)|A22]] to [[Bolzano]], [[Innsbruck]] over the [[Brennero]] but it's quite difficult to find A handful of words from a hitch from A4 local dialect may make drivers loosen up. Spanish is easy for Italians to the A22 except when it understand. English is holiday time.Also, don't go via [[Milano]], it's really difficult to get out of the ring because almost everybody drives into Milano and very few stop at service areas located nearbyless widely spread than in more northerly countries.
