In buses you will usually need to show a ticket, rarely they check if it's valid, but you need to show ''something''. Being caught without a ticket will cost you 40€60€. But there is a [https://twitter.com/nbg_ticketfrei Ticketfrei bot in Nürnberg] to sousveill ticket controllers. If someone reported a ticket controller, you should probably buy a ticket.

Note: This spot worked great===A3 direction West and North-West ([[Würzburg]], 5 minutes thumbing [[Frankfurt am Main]] and we got to Linz in one lift. Watch out for ticket inspectors on the Saturday Bahn, we narrowly avoided 2 on the suggested train. Sept 17[[Kassel]])===

:''[[User:Hash|Hash]]: Successfully used in July 2017 for a ride to Frankfurt in late evening. Getting to the station is cumbersome but there is a lot of long-distance traffic. Do not try hitching at the Frankenschnellweg (starting from the centre of the city close to the Rothenburger Strasse S-Bahn station) - there is no place for the cars to stop and there is too much local traffic anyway.''==Sleeping==

'''Nürnberg''' ([[England|English]]: ''Nuremberg'') is a city in [[Germany]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
It takes about an hour to get there, but from the [http://tank.rast.de/standorte/suche/detail.html?ID=274 Raststätte Feucht/Nürnberg] (service station) South of Nuernberg you can easily hitchhike North or South along the [[A9_(Germany)|A9]]. You'll have to take the S-Bahn for 15 minutes and then walk another 30-40 minutes to the service area.
From ''Nürnberg Hbf'' (the main train station) you take the "S2" to ''Feucht''. When you leave the train station you follow "BahnofsstrasseBahnhofstraße" until you reach a roundabout where you turn right onto "Friedrich-Ebert-StrasseStraße". You follow this street until you reach the "Schwabacher Strasse" where you turn right again and continue straight. You'll cross a crossroads where you see a McDonalds on your left. Continue straight on "Schwarzenbruecker StrasseSchwarzenbrucker Straße" passing an industrial area until the road makes a turn to the left after which you'll turn right into "Am BruekkanalBrückkanal" - basically you continue straight. Now walk on straight until you reach the highway and the end of the parking of the service area. For Munich you'll have to take the tunnel to the other side, for Berlin you can stay on the side you are on.
=== A9 direction towards [[Berlin]] ===
When you go direction Prague, use a [[signs|sign]] "[[Amberg]]". There will be the [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] "[[Oberpfälzer Alb South]]" shortly before that city. So it's not a bad idea to wait for someone going across the border at the petrol station.
Otherwise you can go with local traffic from Amberg to the border, hitching from one motorway entrance to another. In this case, you're likely to end up at [[Waidhaus]], the last German village before the border. If you were dropped in the village, instead of going back to motorway, you can take local crossing, leading to the town of [[Rozvadov]]. Once the other side, cross the town and about a km further will be a motorway entrance with a huge petrol station.
=== A6 Direction East ([[Prague]]) (alternate method) ===
There is green space to wait just before the "Hans-Kalb-Str." bus stop and the bus stop gives cars space to pullover. There is a traffic light right beforehand so cars will be going quite slow and be able to see you. [https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/49.43229/11.13169 maps link]. Not all the traffic hear is going East as there are a couple highway interchanges to leave the city so a sign is recommended. I held a sign reading "CZ" and got a ride within half an hour to the above-mentioned service station. I have not tried the above-mentioned strategy but I believe this one is good because it is closer to the city-center and traffic volume is quite high, and I saw several Czech license plates. There is also much less walking required as you can take the 44 bus directly to that stop, or take the S-Bahn S2 or S3 to the Frankenstadion stop and walk the very short distance from there
=== A3 direction South-East ([[Regensburg]]), ([[Passau]]) and ([[Austria]]) ===
From Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof take the S-Bahn in direction of Altdorf (b Nürnberg) and get off at WEST Altorf. The ticket costs 4.70€ but you can try to get on the train for free since it takes 20 minutes to reach WEST Altdorf. For my part, i haven't seen any controllers. From there walk uphill on Fischbacher Strasse for 300 meters, turn right on Schulstrasse Strasse for 300 more meters and turn right again on Nürnberger Strasse. It's the Boulevard leading to the A3 motorway going to Regensburg, Passau near the Austrian border and Linz. Walk along the boulevard for 200 meters where you can see BMW and Mercedes centers and until you see the motorway. Walk under the motorway and right after you'll see the entrance on your left. The spot is perfect to hitchhike and you can expect to get a lift in less than 25 minutes. Also trucks have more than enough space to stop.
There's a service station called "Aurach" on the A3 between Erlangen and Herzogenaurach.
From train station Nürnberg Hbf you can take a local train or S-Bahn to Erlangen train station, from there on take Bus 287 direction "Westfriedhof" - exit at last but one stop ("Sankt Michael" in Steudach). From there you can easily walk in 10-15 minutes to the petrol station (check spot on the map).
If you dont find any place to crash on you can take subway to the airport, it takes like 30 minutes to get there from centre. There are few really nice spots on benches without armrests, there is also free wifi and bathroom. Nobody bothered me there during night and also there was some other sleeping people.
