=== South ([[Metz]], [[France]]) ===There is a big petrol station with a lot of traffic but there Many people are driving pass Luxembourg without stopping. If your driver 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 A6 (from the station. Take the closest oneor towards Arlon, do not take the stairs! and walk less than 2 km Belgium) you can ask them to some of the biggest motorway petrol stations in Europe! Turn left when leave you leave at the Berchem train stationexit nr 4 (Luxembourg, walk down the road and then turn right at the first opportunityStrassen). You They will arrive drop you at a entrance point for two roads. Take Route d'Arlon and can take the highway right back, and you just have one furthest from the train station long street to Luxembourg city centre (on you can take a bus or use the leftred lights to find a lift) Follow . If you're coming from France through the residential road up A31 / A3 and the hill for 10 minutes and driver will drive on pass Luxembourg city, you will arrive can be dropped at a bridgeAire de Berchem. Go over Walk pass the bridge and then walk down and you should find an entrance way truck parking to the petrol stations. There are vehicles travelling all over [[Europe]]. I was waiting for around 10 minutes at very end of the petrol gas station exitwhere you'll find the gate.You can also reach the petrol station by hitching from the roundabout that is located right climb over at the start edge of the highwaysbridge, by the bushes, to make sure you don't rip your pants. Not an ideal place for cars Then it's a 10 min walk, heading southeast, to stopBerchem train station, but lots of people go in that directiontwo stations away from Luxembourg city.

'''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 centre. 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]].
'''Service station for Liege and the Netherlands'''
'''The better option'''
Just walk out of the centre to the ''Avenue John Fitzgerald Kennedy'' in direction Kirchberg. You will find many banks, institutes and the Luxembourg fair (LuxExpo) there. 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 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 won't have to wait long. Hold a Trier sign even if you want to get further, if this is the case, you can be dropped at [[Wasserbillig]] service station on the motorway A1. A sign is very important for making the people from Trier stop, which will be your drivers here.
'''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 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.
'''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 EUR 2.00, or avoid the controller for 2 stops. Get off at the [[Berchem]] stop. There are 2 exits from the station. Take the closest one, don'''On Sundays'''t take the stairs. And walk less than 2 km to some of the biggest motorway petrol stations in Europe! I decided Take the first little path to add this extra part as me the residential area (Rue Oscar Romero), pass a tiny roundabout and my friend tried to hitch out of Luxembourg walk up towards Germany on the fields. Then you have a Sunday with no success whatsoever - we were stuck on beautiful path through the Avenue JFK for 3 hours fields straight ahead. You'll pass by generous walnut and apple trees, you'll have to climb over small cattle fences, and not one single car stoppedmight say hi to some animals. I think Otherwise: Turn left when you leave the Berchem train station, walk down the road 5 minutes and the second main road on the above option right is only really good during Rue Meckenheck. Take Meckenheck up winding through a residential area all the week when the traffic flow way up to Germany where it ends, at which point there is really high"a big forest. Turn right onto Du Bois, and follow it curving around to the left.What I did in You should hear the end was take highway and pretty soon you will arrive at a bridge[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!4d6.121747?hl=en] that runs over the number 16 bus to highway. Just before the stop just before bridge is the airportsouth-side petrol station, with loads of cars heading north towards Luxembourg city, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. This bus stop is next to an entrance Walk over the bridge and immediately at the end of it go down to the highway , through the concrete pavement or stairs, and you can either stand in front walk 50m alongside of it until the bus stop with station. There are vehicles traveling all over [[Europe]]. Luck varies: one person waited 10 minutes at the petrol station exit but another waited a sign or stand good 30 minutes before finding someone on a little traffic light island their way to Metz.You can also reach the petrol station by hitching from the roundabout that is located right at the entrance (which I did) so that you get all start of the traffic going towards Trier highways. Not an ideal place for cars to stop, but lots of people go in that is coming from both directionsdirection. I waited for about 10 minutes was waiting there for quite a long time and then we got a ride that took me from a couple going to the huge gas 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 bus, trams and local trains!)Get off from bus on the border 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 I got my next ride will be place where you can easily hitch-hikke (bus stop, rarely use).On the opposite side of 150km within 5 minutes of waitingthis place there is Auchan Drive so it's easily to find. == Hitchhiking in ==
