'''Luxembourg''' is a small country in Western [[Europe]], bordered by [[Belgium]], [[Germany]] and [[France]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].
Most people speak not only the local language, Lëtzebuergish (Luxembourgeois)Luxembourgish, but also French, German and English fluently.
== Great for long distances ==Luxembourg is a great country to catch a long distance ride, due to its central location in [[Europe]]. Many drivers stop here to take advantage of the low duties on fuel, alcohol, and chocolate. Most motorways leaving Luxembourg have a large [[rest area|service area]] which are the best places to get ongoing lifts. However, much of the traffic are drivers coming from just a few kilometers kilometres over the border in matter order to get cheaper fuel. Therefore, for a long distance ride, it may be wise to have a [[signs|sign]] specifying your direction and destination or simply to preselect the drivers according to the immatriculation registration of their car in matter order to have a less frustrating experience.
Local hitchhiking on the countryside Especially ''Aire de Capellen Sud'' is great. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) has found direct rides to [[Avignon]], [[Valencia]] and even [[Morocco]], with waiting times of Luxembourg is somewhat less straightforward as hitchhiking is not so common by local inhabitantsthan 1 hour.
Tickets for Local hitchhiking in the countryside of Luxembourg is somewhat less straightforward as hitchhiking is not so common by local transport across the countryinhabitants. Public transportation (busses, both trains and buses are only €1.50 for two hours, with unlimited transfers, or €4 for one day. This includes some buses going abroad (e.g. to the [[BastogneLuxembourg City]])tram is entirely free in Luxembourg, except for first class seats on trains. The cheap free public transport and the low chances of locals stopping for you makes it best to simply take a bus towards one of the gas petrol stations on the motorway when going further away out of the country. == Personal experience ==''We (a couple - man and woman) traveled for more than a week in Luxembourg, almost all by thumb. No difference between TO the capital [[Luxembourg_(City)|Luxembourg_(City)]] or OUT of it. We got a lift always in less than 15 minutes, even after sunset. Twice, even when we were three. Lovely green country with many beautiful landscapes and very nice people. --[[User:Mik013|Mik013]] August 2016''
