From the city center, take metro 2 (the green line) towards ''Cologno'' or ''Gessate''. Get out at ''Gobba''.
=== East towards [[Verona]], [[Slovenia]] {{Ait|4}} {{European Route Number|64}} ======= Option 1: Motorway Service Station on Ring Road ====Take metro 2 (green line) to ''Cologno Nord''. Exit to the left and go down the stairs to the right, you should see a parking with buses. Keep walking straight (northeast) for ≈600m along Via C.A. dalla Chiesa to the junction (there is a bridge over the motorway to the left). Keep walking straight on along the edge of the field (there's a fence blocking your access on the motorway side) for 200m until you arrive at a big electricity pole with a couple of doors under it leading you to the service station.

'''Both petrol station are still on Milano ring road, which means most of people will be going just nearby the city.

However, the best Best combination to go to [[Venice]] or [[Slovenia]] is:ringroad station > Agip Brianza station > Sommacampagna (Verona) Bauli Station > Arino (Padova) Limenella Station -> further

=== Southeast towards [[Bologna]] {{European Route Number|35}} ===
<ol>
<li>Walk for around 10 minutes from ''Porto di Mare'' metro station to the petrol station (also ''Agip'') on the other side of the motorway. Look on the city map in metro stations how to walk there exactly - very simple.</li>
<li>Another easier option to reach Bologna and South Italy is to take the Green Line to Cascina Gobba, after that get out Walk for around 10 minutes from the Porto Di Mare metro station and you should see many orange buses( Atm), so go left and you will find a gate, go in and walk until you will arrive to a roundabout and from there you can see the gas Tamoil petrol station in on the highway which you reach easily in two minutes.The advantages other side of this spot compared to the "Porto di Mare" spot is that this is motorway. Look on the highway, Porto di Mare itcity map in metro stations how to walk there exactly === South towards [[Genova]] {{European Route Number|62}} === '''Option 1'''s not. So it should work fine!
Take the metro to the station '''Update August 2015'Famagosta'': This petrol station was closed in 2014, and 2.5 km walk down by A7 at the end of Via Giuseppe de Finetti street is still closed. Don't go there!</li></ol>Autogrill Cantalupa Ovest rest stop
=== South towards [[Genova]] {{European Route Number|62}} ==='''Option 2'''
Take the metro to the station ''Catch bus 46 after you leave Famagosta''. When you exit to the street, to the east you will see a bridge Take it just 1? stop about 5 minutes. This There is a pizza place called Fratelli Diversi by the A7 motorwaybus stop. (Big green sign). You then have to walk Ahead you’ll see a couple of minutes north parallel with the pedestrian bridge to where over the motorway begins. There is a traffic light and a petrol station. It is best which leads right to stand a couple of meters north of the traffic light, next to the petrol service station entrance, with a sign. Cars are going slowly (or stopping at on the traffic light) highway and there is enough room for a car the advantage of being able to talk to stop easilypeople.
=== West towards [[Torino]] {{European Route Number|64}} ===
 
==== Option 1: Slipway Via Antonio Sant'Ellia ====
At the end of Via Antonio Sant'Ellia (metro station QT8 on the red line) close to the park Monte Stella, there is a big slipway to the full motorway interchange between A8 and A4. So it is possible to hitch to west, north and east from there. Stand on the curb before the slipway splits with a sign. There is a street lamp nearby, so it is possible to hitch at night. N.B. occassionally there is street prostitution on the other side of the road close to stadium San Carlo.
 
==== Option 2: Via Fratelli Rizardi traffic light ====
Another good place where you can catch more westwards traffic is at metro stop Molino Dorino. There is a roundabout which splits the ramps and car park driveways. Stand at the traffic light close to Via Fratelli Rizardi with a sign. Because of the traffic light, cars need stop longer before ramping onto the motorway tangenziale ovest A50, so you have more chance to be seen and longer time for the driver to think.
* [[User==== Option 3:Drezz|Drezz]] June, 2016: IQ8 and McDonald've tried this s on Viale Alcide de Gasperi ==== Good spot to go to Torino/French Alps and it was really good and actually it’s possible to go in the other directions too - like [[Verona]], [[Venice]]. It’s a petrol station/McD near of the metro station QT8. It’s necessary to walk in Via Collecchio and cross the bridge. There is a park in the end of the bridge and you must follow the path until find a small street called Via Don Luigi Palazzolo and turn right in the road. Around 100 m further you will find the petrol station where you can ask for someone there or you can go directly to the road with a sign. I got a ride directly to [[Chamonix]] (France) and the driver was on his way to [[Geneva]]. This spot is less than 10 minutes walking from the metro station. EDIT (09/2021): Didn't worked for me, waited for 5 hours without result. There was no one going to Torino, one car going to Switzerland and most of the traffic was going to Milano city centre or other cities like Verona. Afterwards I went to the Pero Nord petrol station and found a ride to Torino in less than 30 minutes. ==== Option 4: Area Servizio Pero Nord ==== Getting to a service area on the Autostada is very simple. One takes the Metro Line 1 to Pero station (direction Rho Fiera Milano: trains on Line 1 alternate destinations between Rho Fiera Milano and Bisceglie, which is to the southwest), and then walking southwest on the little pedestrian street onto which the station exits (Via Mario Greppi) you turn right on Via Oratorio. Follow it to the end where to your left there will be a roundabout; enter the roundabout and take the first right onto Via Papa Giovanni XXIII. You'll see a water tower of sorts in the distance, which is to where you walk. Just below and beside the tower, on your right, there will be a little paved walkway which is a pedestrian and bike trail over the highway. You'll see the service area to your left as you're crossing the highway. Follow the trail as it continues just below the station's fence and shortly you'll find a revolving metal door that provides easy pedestrian access, and then you're in! A map of these directions can be found [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yBP-giXHtgj3lCH7x0XUXrFzK4fhCx41&usp=sharing here]; it takes around 20 minutes walking.  It is not the busiest of all service areas, but there is a steady flow of traffic; many trucks stop here for their pausa, and many take the turn right after the station onto the {{Ait|50}} on their way to Switzerland.
=== North towards Como,[[Switzerland]] {{Ait|8}} {{Ait|9}} ===
To Lago di Como it is quick to get a ride from 45°29'59.9"N 9°07'50.6"E. Off the record: if you are taking the train from Como back to Milan after 21, they almost never check tickets.
 
==== Option 2. Service Station directly on the A9. ====
 
You can take a regional train heading towards Como and get off at Cadorago. (Very unlikely to get checked for a ticket.) Then cross the parking lot at the station to the roundabout. Then heading away from the tracks, follow Via Roma for about 500 meters until SP26 (Via Alessandro Volta). Turn right and go about 600 meters to via Giacomo Puccini. Turn right and go about 400 meters and you will arrive at the service station. From here you should easily be able to find a ride into Switzerland and across the Alps.
== Sleeping ==
The are two places Milano where you can have free food. Both give food for homeless, poor people and are called [http://www.panequotidiano.eu/contatti/ "Pane Quotidiano"] (It means "daily bread")
They usually give some bread, pasta, vegetables and sweets every day without asking you money or papers from 7:00 to 11:00.
One is located in Viale Monza 335 you can arrive easily there with the Red Metro Line in Villa San Giovanni the other one is located in Viale Toscana 28 you can arrive there with the bus 90. You can recognize it easily because you can see lots of people waiting there. ('''Note: Do not abuse these places, they are for those who really need it!'''

== Busking in Milano ==
 
Milan has a very welcoming policy for street performances. They may now perform in the designated squares and streets every day of the week from 09.00 to midnight. There is an official website [http://milano.stradaperta.it/start.htm "Strada Aperta"] where you can book the place where you would like to perform, usually you can find many performers in the centre from Corso Vittorio Emanuele to Piazza Castello.
