'''Luxembourg''' is the capital city of the self-named country [[Luxembourg]].
==Hitching OutHitchhiking out =====East towards North and West ([[TrierArlon]], [[GermanyLiège]]===Avenue John F. Kennedy is a good spot for getting to , [[GermanyBrussels|Brussel]]. Coming from the town center, just walk over the bridge. Right after the traffic lights, there is enough place for cars to stop.) ===
===North and West towards [[Belgium]], [[Netherlands]], etc==='''Service station for Brussels'''# Get the line 50 train from Luxembourg City station for around EUR 2 euro.00. Get off at the [[Capellen ]] stop and walk less than 1 km west to some of the biggest petrol stations in Europe! Walk towards the motorway which you can see from the train station and take the first road right alongside the fields. After 5 minutes you will come to the petrol station fence. There is a hole near You can climb over the locked fence, but the top is spiked. It's better to turn right, and walk along the fence for about 250 metres, and climb through (BE CAREFUL)over it at the first section with a stone-wall. Many truck drivers use this service station. I was waiting less than 10 minutes.
2 '''Motorway exit for Brussels'''Follow the Route d'Arlon to the entry onto the A6/[[E25]]. This is a walk of about 4km from the town centercentre. You can partially use bus 7also just take the Bus 28 and hop off at Hondseck, or the Bus 22 and walk from Maternité (no need for a ticket :) ). From Cars can pull over just before the traffic lights, or at the sliproad you . You can get a ride straight to [[Brussels]], but if that fails, or to the above mentioned Capellen stop gas station ('aire de Capellen') , which is just about 10km down the road, and from there you can get rides to about anywhere in [[Belgium]] and the [[Netherlands]].
===East towards '''Service station for Liege and the Netherlands'''You have the option of going to the town of [[GermanyMartelange]]. This small town is famous for plenty of drivers due to the cheap fuel provided by dozens of service stations for drivers going to the Belgian Limburg, Dutch Limburg, and [[PolandAachen]], etc===. Get the Trier/Wasserbillig (line 30) train from Luxembourg City city station for around 2 Euroto [[Arlon]]. Get off at Walk left out of station, keep following the Wasserbillig stop. You have two options ([[Bastogne]] road signs towards a local and roundabout which is a national one)20 minute walk. The local one is if Here you turn left, walk down can [[hitchhiking|hitchhike]] at the junction after the bridge and across from the local Fiat car garage. This road for two minutes, you should see around 7 petrol stations. Maybe somebody can bring you goes to Martelange and the main Wasserbillig service station on the highway or wherever elseNorth.
=== East ([[Trier]], [[Germany]]) ==='''The national options involves turning right outside better option'''Just walk out of the train station, walking up centre to the road and turning left up the Route d’Echternach until you reach a crossing beside a big river. This option takes 30 minutes but is more effective than the local one''Avenue John Fitzgerald Kennedy'' in direction Kirchberg. You will notice that find many banks, institutes and the Luxembourg fair (LuxExpo) there is an old pathway going up the hill. If you follow You can hitch on every spot where cars can stop on this road and even in side roads and secondary roads which are leading to this route avenue. Make sure holding a [[Trier]] [[signs|sign]]. There are masses of people from Trier working in Luxembourg Kirchberg and especially on working days you should arrive at two old cabinswon't have to wait long. Turn left at the cabin closest Hold a Trier sign even if you want to you and walk get further up the hill until you reach another crossing under the massive motorway bridge. Go right at , if this and keep climbing is the hill until you reach an improved road. Herecase, you turn right and keep following can be dropped at [[Wasserbillig]] service station on the access road until you reach the petrol stationmotorway A1. This A sign is located at very important for making the Luxembourg-German border. There should people from Trier stop, which will be plenty of international trafficyour drivers here.
===South '''On Sundays'''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 [[France]], [[Spain]], [[Italy]]Trier that is coming from both directions. Get a lift at least as far as the huge petrol station on the border, etc===and then it is easier to hitch further.
'''The train option'''Get the Trier/Wasserbillig (line 30) train from Luxembourg City station for EUR 2.00. Get off at the Wasserbillig stop. You should turn right outside the train station, walking up the road and turning left up the Route d'Echternach until you reach a crossing beside a big river. This option takes 30 minutes but there are beautiful views to be seen. You will notice that there is an old pathway going up the hill. If you follow this route you should arrive at two old cabins. Turn left at the cabin closest to you and walk further up the hill until you reach another crossing under the massive motorway bridge. Go right at this and keep climbing the hill until you reach a more developed road. Here, you turn right and keep following the access road until you reach the petrol station. This is located at the Luxembourg-German border. There should be plenty of international traffic. === South ([[Metz]], [[France]]) (E25/A3) ===Get the line 60 train from Luxembourg City station for around EUR 2.00, or avoid the controller for 2 Eurostops. Get off at the [[Berchem ]] stop and . There are 2 exits from the station. Take the closest one, don't take the stairs. And walk less than 2 km to some of the biggest motorway petrol stations in Europe! Take the first little path to the residential area (Rue Oscar Romero), pass a tiny roundabout and walk up towards the fields. Then you have a beautiful path through the fields straight ahead. You'll pass by generous walnut and apple trees, you'll have to climb over small cattle fences, and might say hi to some animals. Otherwise: 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. Turn right onto Du Bois, and follow it curving around to the first opportunityleft. You should hear the highway and pretty soon you will arrive at a entrance point for two roadsbridge[https://www.google.ca/maps/place/49%C2%B032'40.2%22N+6%C2%B007'18.3%22E/@49.544506,6.119553,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d49.544506!4d6. Take 121747?hl=en] that runs over the one furthest from the train stationhighway. Follow Just before the residential road up bridge is the hill for 10 minutes south-side petrol station, with loads of cars heading north towards Luxembourg city, Belgium, Netherlands and you will arrive at a bridgeGermany. Go Walk over the bridge and then walk immediately at the end of it go down to the highway, through the concrete pavement or stairs, and you should find an entrance way to walk 50m alongside of it until the petrol stationsstation. There are vehicles traveling all over [[Europe]]. Luck varies: one person waited 10 minutes at the petrol station exit but 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 === South-West ([[A4]], [[E44]], [[E25]]) === Take bus number 18 (from Central station to direction Kockelscheuer, Patinoire). Tickets costs 2 euro - 1 way or 4 euro - one day ticket (valid till 4am and its for around 10 minutes at bus, trams and local trains!)Get off from bus on the bus stop "Plantin" (few meters before this bus stop is Shell petrol station ). Go straight to rond-about and then turn left. Few meters from rond-about there will be place where you can easily hitch-hikke (bus stop, rarely use).On the opposite side of this place there is Auchan Drive so it's easily to find. == Hitchhiking in == Many people are driving pass Luxembourg without stopping. If your driver is using the A6 (from or towards Arlon, Belgium) you can ask them to leave you at the exitnr 4 (Luxembourg, Strassen). They will drop you at Route d'Arlon and can take the highway right back, and you just have one long street to Luxembourg city centre (you can take a bus or use the red lights to find a lift). If you're coming from France through the A31 / A3 and the driver will drive on pass Luxembourg city, you can be dropped at Aire de Berchem. Walk pass the truck parking to the very end of the gas station where you'll find the gate. You can climb over at the edge of the bridge, by the bushes, to make sure you don't rip your pants.Then it's a 10 min walk, heading southeast, to Berchem train station, two stations away from Luxembourg city. [[Image:2015-07-24 09.12.13.jpg|right|thumb|200px]][[Image:2015-07-24 09.12.26.jpg|right|thumb|200px]] {{IsIn|Luxembourg}}
