Liège

Liège (Dutch: Luik; German: Lüttich) is a city in the French speaking part of Belgium.

Hitching away from Liège is said to be difficult, because of the so-called Spaghetti Motorway system. On the other hand it is not impossible to get lifts along the former transit-route of the E25 straight through the city of Liege alongside the Maas-river. Provided you are familiar which used to be the pre-motorway era transit route you can quite successfully hitch out of Liege along that transit route using a sign Lux (embourg) or Arlon heading towards the Ardennes, or a sign Vise, Maastr (icht) or NL heading north. The transit route, not marked anymore by signs "transit" these days, remains the fastest way to get through Liege by car during most of the time.

Heading North or East, towards Maastricht, Aachen, Koln

Get bus 66 (direction Herstal) from the main train station. Get off in an industrial estate beside the motorway. Near here there is a motorway exit for traffic going towards Maastricht, etc. This access lane next to the bridge Pont de l'Atlas, about 700 meter from Liege-Bressoux train station. Best to use a sign Maastr. or NL or simply a lot of self confidence ;)

Heading South for Luxembourg, etc

Go the "Luxembourg" sign after the roundabout near the Angleur train station in the very south of Liege city. There appears to be a bus service to and from this area. Here you will find an area for a car to pull over before the motorway rush begins.

Alternatively you can take the bus 65 and go down at the bus stop Chênée. There you will have to walk 500 m until the traffic light, just before the entrance of the motorway.
