'''Zürich''' is one of the bigger cities a large city in eastern [[Switzerland]].
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Direction West (Northwest towards [[BernBasel]]{{European Route Number|60}}, southwest towards [[BaselBern]]) {{European Route Number|35}}, === The most direct option is to go to the reach a petrol stations station on the motorway by train and then foot. If you take the Take the S12 (to ''Kilwangen-Spreitenbach''), you will be . The stop is near the service station. One can also use this petrol station to go east and south of '''Zürich''' by using the opposite side to the Bern/Basel exit.
The bus station ''Sportweg'' makes a great hitchhiking spot. It's located right at the motorway entrance, but there's a traffic light, so cars are not too fast. You can either go there directly by bus, or take a tram to ''Hardturm'' from where it's five minutes walking.
There are also many ''S-Bahn'' trains stopping at the train station ''Hardbrücke''. (Or take bus #33 and #72, whose first stop after ''Hardbrücke'' is ''Pfingstweidstrasse'' or bus #54 to ''Sportweg''). When you take a train, walk up onto the bridge on the side closer to the city/main station, then turn right and go down the pedestrians ramp, then straight until you reach the main road ''Pfingstweidstrasse''. Turn left, cross the street. You can already start hitching here, there's enough space and cars, or you can walk closer towards the motorway. Or walk and hitch together. It's an excellent street. (update): As of June 2009, 'Pfingstweidstrasse' is all under construction and thus nearly impossible to get a ride from.
=== Direction South (towards [[Italy]]) {{European Route Number|41}} ===If you are trying to go south from Zürich (toward [[Italy]]), follow Follow signs in the city for the motorway 4 motorway to [[Luzern]]. you You will get onto reach West st. on West, just Just past the intersection of West and Werd, there is a driveway in front of an apartment building where cars can pull over just before the right turn to onto the onramp of the motorway 4 motorway. 3 of us got a ride from there within a half hour that took us all the way to [[Milano|Milan]], Italy.
=== Direction Northtowards [[Germany]], West (west towards [[Austria]], [[Germany]]) ===
Take S-Bahn S7 to Kemptthal (~25mins 25 minutes from the main station) and walk another 3mins 3 minutes up the road. Where the road forks, go right. 300m 300 m further , a small road leads uphill just to the gas station.You will find a BP petrol station, a restaurant and a small COOP supermarket.
