'''Namur''' (French, in Dutch: Namen) is the capital of [[Wallonia]], the French speaking part (southern) of [[Belgium]], situated on the E41 and E42 motorway. Namur is both the capital of the province of Namur and of Wallonia. It stands at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers.
=== North towards [[Brussels]], [[Louvain-la-Neuve]] and East towards [[Liège]] ===
If you want to go to Louvain-la-Neuve or Brussels the best place to stand is at the entrance of the highway. For this, you should go to the central train station of Namur and take the bus n°27 (every 20 minutes +/-) toward "Bouge" and "Champion". This bus is across the street of the station, on your right. In front of "La Maison du TEC". You ask the bus driver to take you until the entrance of the highway of Champion ("Sortie de Champion). It will cost you EUR 1.70 and it takes about 10 minutes.
You can as well hitchhike to get there, leave the station by the back exit, turn right and walk 100 meter until you reach a bridge on wich there is bus stop were cars can stop easily. You might get very fast a lift to the highway entrance or even the your final destination.
From the bus stop walk 100 meters in the same direction of the bus (as you follow the bus). You will soon see the big green signs of the highway E41 and E42. You can hitchhike from there but the cars don't stop that much. The best place is to go inside of the entrance, the is a lot of space for the cars to stop. For Brussels (BXL, abbreviation for "Bruxelles") and Louvain-la-Neuve (LLN, abbreviation) cars can stop in 5-10 minutes. For Liège, usually it takes a little bit more (15-20 minutes). The best is to indicate where you are going.
