Hitchhiking out

Directions towards the East; Eindhoven or Den Bosch

The best spot to hitchhike towards the East is at a former busstop on the intersection of the 'Ringbaan Oost' and 'Ringbaan Zuid'. Take either the bus 141 towards Best towards the stop 'Kempenbaan' or bus 3 to 'Lourdestraat'. There are traffic lights there and enough space for cars to stop. Just write on your sign 'Direction of...' to indicate where you would like to go to.

If you want to go to Germany or France this is the best spot to start your journey for you can take either the route over Eindhoven - Venlo or Eindhoven - Maastricht.

Directions towards Breda, Eindhoven

Get the number 8 bus from the Tilburg central transport station towards 'Het Leer'. It costs around 2 Euro. Depart the bus at the stop under the second bridge passed near the Ringbaan Zuid. Walk up the side of the hill and get on to the motorway.

Alternatively, take bus Nr. 7 (Direction: De Bleek) to busstop 'Burg. Damsstraat'. From here you can walk to 'Ringbaan West' and walk to the South. You'll pass one gasstation where you can try your luck in the morning to get a ride out of the city. If you continue to walk along the Ringbaan West you will eventually reach the traffic lights for the turn to the highway towards Breda. There is grass here where cars can stop and the traffic light will make sure that cars will drive slow most of the time.
