<map lat='51.219142189396' lng='4.4254302978515625' zoom='12' view='3' float='right' /> Antwerpen is a nice city in Belgium, close to the Dutch border.
Hitching Out
Hitchhiking is pretty common in Belgium, especially in the North, so you won't have a difficult time.
Southwest towards Gent, Paris
Follow Amerikalei to the on ramp for the A14/E17. You have to go under a tunnel before getting out to the ramp. A good place to stand is here.
South towards Brussels, Luxembourg
Get the train from the Central transport Station at platform 6 and get off at the first stop which is “Oost Staation” (direction "Essen"). When you leave the station, walk under the train bridge, walk straight down to the signs for Brussels. Here, you should stand after the traffic lights and in a position that you get the attention of cars coming from the two different sections of the junction.
Another option
Take a tram/bus to STENENBURG stop - any of 21, 24, 242, 420, 421, 422, 423, 429. Once you get off there, turn left and go under the bridge. After you cross the bridge, turn right and keep going straight on, untill you see signs of Brussels. After a while you will notice a highway on your left going in direction of Brussels. Go untill the traffic lights and cross them twice following the road signs. You will notice a good interstate, with an emergency line, where you get your rides very fast (took me around 2 minutes).
Most directions
Another option is the highway at the Luitenant Lippenslaan (a continuation of the Plantin en Moretuslei), the on-ramps there are good for heading to Gent, Paris, Brussels, the Netherlands and possibly more directions. Make sure to make a sign as people can go many directions.
