Lugano
,→North towards Bellinzona
The main problam in hitchhiking north from Lugano is the fact that until [[Bellinzona]] (about 25km) there is no petrol station or a good stop on the highway. The two option you do have is either to go south of Lugano, where there is a big gas station on the highway, or try to hitch on a side road to Bellinzona. It is legal to hitchhike on a regular road, and many people do stop, but a lot of them just few KM each time. Anyway once you are in Bellinzona there is a petrol station going north, as on the map. It's possible to reach it by foot without going on to the highway, and from it you can reach [[Zurich]], [[Luzern]], [[Basel]] going on {{Ach|2}} and also [[Austria]] when going on {{Ach|13}}.
The tourist information office in Lugano told said that these benches are located in Bré, Tesserete, Cagiallo and Oggio - these are small villages and the benches are generally intended for travelling where there is limited public transport (presumably for local people)
