Traffic flow is lower on the weekends, so the above-mentioned place may not work on Sundays. You can instead take bus 16 to the stop just before the airport. This bus stop is next to an entrance to the highway and you can either stand in front of the bus stop with a sign or stand on a little traffic light island at the entrance so that you get all the traffic going towards Trier that is coming from both directions. Get a lift at least as far as the huge petrol station on the border, and then it is easier to hitch further.
=== South ([[Metz]], [[France]]) (E25/A3) ===There is a big petrol station with a lot of traffic but there is a big fence around it. We got there using the open employee gate.Get the line 60 train from Luxembourg City station for EUR 2.00. Get off at the [[Berchem]] stop. There are 2 exits from the station. Take the closest one, do not take the stairs! and walk less than 2 km to some of the biggest motorway petrol stations in Europe! Turn left when you leave the Berchem train station, walk down the road 5 minutes and then turn the second main road on the right is Rue Meckenheck. Take Meckenheck up winding through a residential area all the way up to where it ends, at which point there is a big forest. (If you continue through the first opportunity. You forest, you will arrive at a entrance point for two roads. Take the one furthest from the train south-side petrol station (on , with cars heading back north towards Luxembourg. So don't do that unless you're giving up!!) Turn right onto Du Bois, and follow it curving around to the left) Follow . You should hear the residential road up the hill for 10 minutes highway and pretty soon you will arrive at a bridge[https://www.google.ca/maps/place/49%C2%B032'40. Go 2%22N+6%C2%B007'18.3%22E/@49.544506,6.119553,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d49.544506!4d6.121747?hl=en] that runs over the highway. Walk over the bridge and then walk down and to the left towards the station. There was a lot of construction here in 2016 but you should will find an entrance way to the petrol stationsa fence where you can walk down. There are vehicles travelling all over [[Europe]], and it's best to plant yourself just before the exit where you can maximise attention. I was waiting for around Luck varies: one person waited 10 minutes at the petrol station exitbut another waited a good 30 minutes before finding someone on their way to Metz.
You can also reach the petrol station by hitching from the roundabout that is located right at the start of the highways. Not an ideal place for cars to stop, but lots of people go in that direction.
I was waiting there for quite a long time and then we got a ride from a couple going to Switzerland.- ??, Date Unknown
