[[Image:Granada.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Robino]] hitchhiking in [[Granada]], [[Spain]]]][[ImageFile:Flag of Europe EU.png|250px|thumbframe|Flag of [[European Union]]]]Hitchhiking in '''Europe''' is fun. There are many small countriesto enjoy hitching through, highways motorways in the West are Western parts can be exceptionally good , and overall hitchhiking is relatively safe.Some countries, such as [[Germany]] are quite easy to hitch around. [[Germany]] for the large distances in a single lift, and the possibility to go really fast (no legal speed limits on many highways). [[England]] for the relative short time for waiting. Most other countries are at the European average (rather easy), e.g. the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]] and Eastern countries. Some other countries are considered bad for the long waiting times like [[Spain]] and [[Italy]], but even there you might get a ride with some patience. Some people skip a country after standing in one place for over two hours. When this happens more than once on suitable places for hitching, this is reasonable.
For crossing the borders, have a look to at the [[Schengen Agreement]]. With a Schengen visa to the Schengen area you can travel within a bunch of European countries.
