== Hitching Out ==

=== North-West towards [[Gent]], also to [[Lille]] and [[Paris]] ===

Let people take you to the Basiliek of Koekelberg. Then ask them the direction for the motorway. They'll indicate you to the back of the Basiliek of Koekelberg = Keizer Karel laan. Hike till for 1,4 km till on your right the Baselix Shopping Center, where you'll find 2 petrol stations. Stay there as people fill up with petrol for going to e.g. [[Gent]] or [[Brugge]].

Just ask people.. won't take you more than 10 minutes to get a hike.

Take tram 82 from the South Station in direction of 'Berchem' until the stop 'Berchem Shopping'. From there walk up the Av. Charles Quint, reach the train bridge and you are at the beginning of the E40 in direction of Gent. Just hitch after the traffic lights, where there is a vast area for a car to pull aside behind you. The circulation is dense but cars can easily pull aside and get back on the road quite safely.

There are two services along the E40 between Brussels and Gent that you can always manage to reach:

# 'Groot Bijgaarden' is about 2.5km from the spot you are standing

# 'Wetteren' is some 34km from Brussels and about 15km from the center of Gent

Many people also take this route to go to [[Lille]] and [[Paris]], and there's probably more traffic on this road than on the option going towards Charleroi and Mons.

=== South-West towards [[Charleroi]], [[Mons (Bergen)|Mons]], [[Lille]], [[Paris]] (E19) ===

====NATO====

The [http://maps.google.com/?q=nato,+brussels&ie=UTF8&hq=nato,&hnear=Brussels,+Belgium&ll=50.877674,4.42263&spn=0.004008,0.009645&z=17&iwloc=lyrftr:m,0x47c3dcd1ea2536c7:0xe8a6c0992aa12ff7,50.877511,4.421042 bus stop in front of the NATO] is pretty good for hitchhiking further than Antwerp. If someone takes you to Mechelen though, make sure they drop you of at Mechelen Noord. Buses 12, 21 and 65 go here, you could also take tram 55 from Rogier and walk from Bordet station.
