Apparently - ''from what [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] has heard'' - there is a somewhat official hitchhiking spot at ''Europaplatz''.
Cars number plates starting with letters '''AC''' are registered in this locality. License plates with '''DN''' indicate that a car is from a the neighbour locality of Dürenin the east. Check [http://www.aseag.de/ the website of the local bus operator ASEAG] for bus informations. There is no english page but you can just input your request on the top right. Input the start city (e.g. ''Aachen'') and station (e.g. ''Bushof'', the main bus terminal) and the same for the destination in the second row. The results are understandable without knowing German.
== Hitchhiking out ==
To go to in the direction of Belgium, especially if you want to go to [[Liège]] or [[Luxembourg]], go to the service station ''Lichtenbusch'' on the German-Belgium border at the A44.
Option 1: Take bus #11, #36, #55, or #SB63 from ''BusbahnhofBushof'' (main bus terminal) or ''Hauptbahnhof'' (central train station) to ''Oberforstbach Laschet'', get out and walk back the direction you came from. You have to walk a few hundred meters until you reach a bridge after which you turn left to get to the service station after 150-200m (you can either walk through the fields or use the exit and walk along the autobahn). At the same bridge there is also the exit #2 ''Aachen-Lichtenbusch'' at the A44 which you can use to go either in the direction of Köln (or at least to the service station ''Aachener Land'') or in the direction of Belgium.
Option 2: To get to the service station or the exit you can also hitchhike from the bus station ''Aachen Siegel'' (reachable by the lines #11, #21, #36, #46, #53 and #SB63 or by foot - ask locals for directions) which is perfect if you want to hitchhike south to the Eifel in the direction of Roetgen, Monschau, Simmerath or further.
