'''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 centre, 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 gas petrol station on the highwaymotorway.

==Getting It should be noted that there is barely any traffic around==Public transport is very cheap for a western European and out of the cityon Sunday mornings. A 24 hour pass is only 3,50 EUR, for 4,80 EUR you get a 24 hour pass for 3 personsThis may be the case with other parts of France.

A)24 hour pass costs EUR 4.30, right to the end of the linefor EUR 6. From there 40 you walk west get a 24 hour pass for a while, and then you can find the gas station on the side to go north3 persons (August 2015). See [https://www.cts-strasbourg.eu/en/online-store/fares/tickets/ fares].

== Hitchhiking out =====Going east ([[Germany A5]]){{Autobahn|5}} ===You can take the regional train going to The German town of [[Kehl]] which is already in [[Germany]] (around 6 minutes for 2-3 eurosjust over the border to the East). In Kehl you've got is a big road going directly good place to pick up traffic to the motorway A5 - and everyone who's coming (all directions), especially from the petrol station at the entrance to the B28 ([[Francehttp://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=7333]] is using this road). You also find a gas station!

Also, to go Walking (from Stasbourg Strasbourg centre) to Kehl, takes about 50 minutes if you can use go the bus shortest route (line #21 ; one bus every 30 mincheck Google maps!). It's a bit longer but quite cheaper (1,30 euro instead of 3Strasbourg tram reaches Kehl center since 2018,50 for train) and it stops in several places from "Ancienne Douanne" to the east side of price is the city (usefull if you are in the eastern part of the city).same as within Strasbourg, 2€

By train, for 2 euros moreAlternatively, you can continue after Kehl till Appenweier. From there you can walk take the regional train (around 6 minutes for about EUR 3) or hitchhike to the gaz station "Rasthof Renchtal" tram (2line D, 20 minutes,5km check the route on maps1.google.com 80€). It can be a good alternative to Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the german motorway network.

===Going south===Take the tram (red line) By train, for 2 euro more, you can continue after [[Kehl]] till Appenweier. From there you can walk or hitchhike to Illkirch Lixenbuhl and then the bus petrol station "Rasthof [[Renchtal]]" (line 2) to Ostwald Eglise. From there, walk towards 5 km check the Nachtweid forestroute on maps.google.com or see [[Renchtal]] for details ). A small road runs along its edge and leads It can be a good alternative to a gas station Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the A35 German motorwaynetwork.

'''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. Update: https://hitchwiki.org/en/User:Whisperingofthestars tried this spot (south) in November 2023. Oddly enough, it was mostly foreigners coming into the petrol station, and little of them at that. Seems like the petrol station was giving out very little petrol (for whatever reason). It took forever to get out. {Pay attention also when you get a ride south, between approaching Mulhouse and south (and also coming back north) there's no petrol stations. Jass thinks there was one on the way between Strasbourg and Mulhouse. Mulhouse is also quite out of the way if you're heading to Basel.  '''Option 2''' Toward Mulhouse via the D1083. Take the bus 62 (at the end of the A tram line Graffenstaden) and stop at . There you can walk up north for 3/5 minutes, on the D1083, toward a Total gas station! Eventually the road joins the N83, and the A35.Note- there's little reason why people would take the national to go direct to Mulhouse as the motorway is free on this section until Basel. === Going North ([[Metz]], [[Saarbrücken]], [[Paris]]) ===Take a regional train direction ''Brumath/Mommenheim'' and make sure it stops at ''Stephansfeld''. From there you can walk within 15 min to the petrol station ''Air de Service Brumath'' on the A4 and start hitchhiking straight at the petrol station.The trainticket from Strasbourg to Stephansfeld costs EUR 3.90 (2016). You may have to jump a fence to enter the actual petrol station, but it is not too tall and in June 2016 there was a convenient hole in it.  Alternatively, just walk (10 minutes from the centre) to Place de Haguenau, and walk to the entrance of the A4 (there is a cycle path that leads right next to it if you don't like contending with the cars). There is a lot of space for people to stop and it is the best way to head north from the centre. Mind you, do NOT hitchhike at the Place de Haguenau as there is absolutely no shoulder to pull over. ===Going west=== '''Option 1/'''  Join the A4 by the "going Going north route" (see upper)above. Good solution for Paris. '''Optioon 2''' Join the N4 take the "bus interurbain" [http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/205.pdf #205],[http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/206.pdf #206 or #207] from "Ancienne synagogue-Les Halles" or "Gare Centrale" to Ittenheim (eur 1.80). From Ittenheim's bus stop, walk till the entry of the village (3 minutes), and you're on the best spot of the N4 to leave Strasbourg. This road has the advantage to be free of fees so many cool people use it. I recommend it to go to Metz and Nancy cause you don't loose a lot of time compared to motorways and you have many more chances to get a lift. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}} {{Cities France}}  {{hitchbase_city|412}}__NOTOC__
