__NOTOC__
'''Hannover''' is the capital of [[Lower Saxony]] (Niedersachsen) in [[Germany]].
It's a good place for hitchhiking, because two major motorways are crossing each other here: In east-west-direction, there is the A2 going from the [[Ruhr Area]] to [[Berlin]], and in north-south-direction, the A7 connecting [[Hamburg]] with the south of [[Germany]]. On both motorways, there is a big service area, that are easily reachable by tram.<br />

Public transport is very good and tickets are checked very rarely.
==Hitching out===== Heading east ([[Berlin]]) or west ([[Dortmund]]) ===
From the town center, take the tram no. 4 to Garbsen (the last station). Then transfer to bus no. 126 to Waldschänke. The last bus station is directly in front of a very big service area. From the central station, the ticket is EUR 2,70 and it will take about 30 to 40 minutes.
There is a lot of traffic, you won't have to wait long.
=== Heading north ([[Hamburg]], [[Bremen]]) or south ([[Göttingen]], [[Kassel]], [[Frankfurt]]) ===
Take the tram no. 6 direction ''Messe/Ost'' and get off at Kronsberg. Turn left into ''Wülferoder Straße''. After a ca. 100 m, the Road will head right, but there will be a little path straight on. Follow this path for ca. 1 km. It leads directly to the service area ''Wülferode'' on the A7.
The tram ticket is EUR 2,10 .
==Sleep==There are two hostels in Hannover: An independent one for EUR 15/night (http://www.hostelhannover.de/) and one of [http://www.hihostels.com/ hostelling international] for EUR 25/night.
