Apparently - ''from what [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] heard'' - there is a somewhat official hitchhiking spot at Europaplatz.

Cars number plates starting with the letter '''AC''' are registered in this locality. While the Number plate noted DN are from the neighbour locality of Düren.

There is a nice [[gas station]], ''Aachener Land'', on the A4, not too far east of Aachen. It's good to get into the Netherlands and Belgium, and on the other side it's probably good to go anywhere in [[Germany]]. The fastest way to get there is by taking bus #52 from the ''Busbahnhof''. It stops close to the service area. In the bus #52 there are ticket controllers higher-than-average, and you have to show your ticket to the driver when entering the bus (but mostly you can show anything looking like a ticket). If you want to avoid this, start from Europaplatz just where the cars enter the highway from the roundabout. When going to east (direction Köln), leave ''Aachener Land'' behind you. When going to west, step out at the gas station and do a little walk over the bridge nearby to cross the highway.

Alternatively, towards the Netherlands from the Ponttor in Aachen walk about two kilometres up on the Roermonderstrasse. There are some petrol stations where you could find a Dutch driver. If you are going to Maastricht you could also go to the Vaalserstrasse or take a bus to Vaals. The roundabout at the west end of Vaals is a good place to hitchhike, for example. For the rest, use common sense, or practice a year and you'll be a lot more confident :) --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:18, 25 August 2008 (CEST)
