[[ File:Amsterdam liftplaats petrol station.png |thumb|The walking route from the former ''liftplaats'' location to the nearby petrol station.]]
There was is a [[liftershalte|liftplaats]], a spot specifically for hitchhiking, at the Gooiseweg next to the Prins Bernhardplein situated before NS Station Amsterdam Amstel (pass the bus stop). This road leads to the ramp of the S112 of the A10, the motorway around Amsterdam (direction [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] and [[A2 (Netherlands)|A2]]). This is currently being turned into a third lane and is completely unusually for hitching a ride. A little further on that road, which is called Gooiseweg, and behind the bend you will find a BP petrol-station where you can talk to drivers, often a better way for getting a ride. The petrol station is easily accessible from the backstreets, and it is very easy to hail a ride from the side of the road immediately after the petrol station.
* For [[User:Sweatybuttcheeks|Sweatybuttcheeks]] It wasn't the best spot. It's a better idea to take the bus to Muiden (€4.20 in 2017)
This is what the place looks like in [https://goo.gl/maps/JngKl Google Streetview].
* For [[User:Danishguy94|Danishguy94]] It was a terrible spot. Only dutch number plates at both the liftplaats and the petrol station. Definitely take the bus to Muiden (€4.23 in 2019)
Most cars here will drive along the [[A1 (Netherlands)|A1]] towards [[Amersfoort]], [[Hengelo]] and [[Germany]]. The first petrol-station is just 8 kilometres further, just after [[Muiden]]. A second petrol station and parkingspot, called De Slaag, is located 37 kilometres from [[Amsterdam]], right before [[Amersfoort]].
