'''Strasbourg''' is one of a major city in [[France]] situated next to the bigger cities of [[FranceGerman]]border. It is the siege official seat of the European Parliament, and pretty ''bourgeois''.

In theory it seems doable to hitchhike directly from the centercentre, as there is the entrance to several highwaysmotorways. However, the people of the city are not very hitchhikehitchhiker-friendly, so it is better to directly go to a petrol station on the highwaymotorway.

It should be noted that there is barely any traffic around and out of the city on Sunday mornings. This may be the case with other parts of France.  ==Getting around==

Public transport is very cheap for a western European city. A 24 hour pass is only 3,50 costs EUR4.30, for 4,80 EUR 6.40 you get a 24 hour pass for 3 persons(August 2015). See [https://www.cts-strasbourg.eu/en/online-store/fares/tickets/ fares]. == Hitchhiking out ===== Going east ([[Germany]]) {{Autobahn|5}} ===The German town of [[Kehl]] (just over the border to the East) is a good place to pick up traffic to the A5 (all directions), especially from the petrol station at the entrance to the B28 ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=7333]).  Walking (from Strasbourg centre) to Kehl takes about 50 minutes if you go the shortest route (check Google maps!). Strasbourg tram reaches Kehl center since 2018, the price is the same as within Strasbourg, 2€ Alternatively, you can take the regional train (around 6 minutes for about EUR 3) or the tram (line D, 20 minutes, 1.80€). By train, for 2 euro more, you can continue after [[Kehl]] till Appenweier. From there you can walk or hitchhike to the petrol station "Rasthof [[Renchtal]]" (2,5 km check the route on maps.google.com or see [[Renchtal]] for details ). It can be a good alternative to Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the German motorway network. === Going North ([[Metz]], [[Saarbrücken]]) {{Afr|4}} and South ([[Mulhouse]], [[Switzerland]]) {{Afr|35}} === '''Option 1''' Shell and Total fuel stations on A35 highway  Take the tram (red line A) to Parc Malraux and then the bus 13 direction Lingolsheim gare and get out at Ostwald Eglise. From the bus stop walk up to the entrance of the church ("Église" is French for "church") nearby. Facing the entrance just walk down Rue de l'Église parallel left to the church. Keep on walking until you reach Rue D'Illkirch which leads to the bridge over the motorway (see [https://goo.gl/maps/Me0pt directions]). If you want to go south, don't cross the bridge: There is a steep path down to the petrol station. If you want to go north cross the bridge and access the other petrol station. Heading south you might want to avoid the steep path which leads to the petrol station. Facing the entrance of the church you can also walk to the left, down Rue de Lorraine. At the end of Rue de Lorraine turn right and follow the street until you reach the A35 motorway (see [https://goo.gl/maps/xcuvr directions]). There is a direct entrance to the service station for traffic going south towards Mulhouse and Switzerland. '''Option 2'''

===Going east Alternatively, just walk (Germany A510 minutes from the centre)===You can take to Place de Haguenau, and walk to the entrance of the regional train going A4 (there is a cycle path that leads right next to [[Kehl]] which is already in [[Germany]] (around 6 minutes for 2-3 euroit if you don't like contending with the cars). In Kehl you've got There is a big road going directly lot of space for people to stop and it is the motorway A5 - and everyone who's coming best way to head north from [[France]] the centre. Mind you, do NOT hitchhike at the Place de Haguenau as there is using this roadabsolutely no shoulder to pull over. You also find a petrol station!

By train, for 2 euro more, you can continue after Kehl till Appenweier. From there you can walk or hitchhike to the petrol station "Rasthof Renchtal" (2,5 km check the route on maps.google.com ). It can be a good alternative to Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the German motorway network.''Option 1'''
