'''Milano''' ([[England|English]]: ''Milan'', [[Germany|German]]: ''Mailand'') is the second biggest city in [[Italy]].
== Hitchhiking Hitching out ==From the city center, take the metro #2 (green line) towards ''Cologno'' or ''Gessate''. Get out at ''Gobba''. === Eastwards East towards [[Verona]] {{European Route Number|64}} ===
If you want to go eastwards direction [[Verona]] ([[A4 (Italy)|A4]]) try this: At the end of the platform of ''Gobba'', right where you get out of the train, begins a bridge over the motorway leading to an extra train going only to some certain hospital. It costs you ~ EUR 1,20. Getting out there (at the hospital), you follow the stream of people and go up the first steps you see (round ones). Look for a high place - from there you can see the petrol station. Best is to ask someone to show you the best way down to the petrol station.
An alternative and easier option is to take the metro (''green line'') to '''Cologno Nord'''. It doesn't really matter which exit you leave the station by, as long as you are walking '''north'''. Follow the road for about 5 or 10 minutes until you get to the beginning of the bridge over the motorway. Rather than actually crossing the bridge, you turn right, off the road, and walk along the raised grassy area beside the motorway. After 4 or 5 minutes you will have reached a gas station.
=== Southeastwards Southeast towards [[Bologna]] {{European Route Number|35}} ===
Walk for around 10 minutes from ''Porto di Mare'' metro station to the petrol station (also ''Agip'') on the other side of the motorway. Look on the city map in metro stations how to walk there exactly - very simple.
=== Southwards South towards [[Genova]] {{European Route Number|62}} ===
Go to the ''Famagosta'' metro station. You will see the beginning of the A7 motorway as a bridge. At the beginning, there's a traffic light and a petrol station.
=== West towards [[Torino]] {{European Route Number|64}} === At the end of Via Antonio Sant'Ellia close to the parck park Monte Stella, there is a big slipway to the full motorway interchange between A8 and A4. So it is possible to hitch to west, north and east from there. Stand on the curb before the slipway splits with a sign. There is a street lamp nearby, so it is possible to hitch at night. N.B. occassionally there is street prostitution on the other side of the road close to stadium San Carlo.
Another good place where you can catch more westwards traffic is at metro stop Molino Dorino. There is a roundabout which splits the ramps and car park driveways. Stand at the traffic light close to Via Fratelli Rizardi with a sign. Because of the traffic light, cars need stop longer before ramping onto the motorway tangenziale ovest A50, so you have more chance to be seen and longer time for the driver to think.
