Local hitchhiking in the countryside of Luxembourg is somewhat less straightforward as hitchhiking is not so common by local inhabitants. Public transportation (busses, trains and the [[Luxembourg City]] tram is entirely free in Luxembourg, except for first class seats on trains. The free public transport and the low chances of locals stopping for you makes it best to simply take a bus towards one of the 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'' == Living ==Luxembourg is a very expensive country. Restaurants and accommodation are expensive. The cheapest youth hostel in Luxembourg City will be EUR 20 per night. Luxembourg has a huge financial sector - many banks, [[insurance]] companies etc. As an anti-capitalist you may feel a little cold there ;) Yet, there are now quite a few entries on dumpster diving spots in Luxembourg.
