Good spot to go to Milan, because there are two direct ways. And it is just one way from the gas station for all the traffic. We (couple) had a sign Milan.

We (2) saw a group of Slovenian ski instructors who were looking at us, so we asked them for the Milan direction and they immediately took us to another gas station before Brescia, which is a good spot before Milan.

Workers on gas station are not friendly and don’t you let be there, you have to be next to Autogrill. Lot of people in weekend going direction Verona/Milan, but hitchhiking in Italy is not so easy. But you will definitely find a way and someone who’ll take you with.

Lot of traffic, but better to ask someone to take you to highway at least, becase there are lot of directions from this place. We (a couple) had a sign Verona/Milan, it was raining so we asked a guy while he was filling the gas and he took us to gas station on highway.

brilliant. first car i asked was going to bolzano, second took me to milan (but both were taking a longer dinner break). good traffic, showers, dunno how easy to access on foot if not coming from the highway.

Objectively a good spot, i got an offer within 10 mins, and then one after 30 mins, with a sign that said MILAN there were plenty of smiling faces but it took 1.5 hours to get a ride to a good distance to Milan

Only spot out of Milan, not a lot of traffic. Went trough the fence near the metro station, good walk, somebody already cut the fence. Two male hitchhikers, as usual in italy you need to approach the drivers a lot. Only got taken one 10km but to an better autogrill. Two male hitchhikers. Summer 2025

Not a great place for people to see you, but lots of space to stop when they do see you. Got a ride to martigny with a sign that said Italy (final destination Milan)

Every local will stop to take you just few citys\villages but you can just dont pay the ticket for the train to Milan, they dont check the Tickets often. If your a tourist just talk in your local language and they will kick you out at the next Station and you can take the next train (if your a tourist it prettymuch works in everey regional train in Italy)

Is not a station but is full of cars, good for turin or milan direction. I suggest to stay in the spot where I point because is where all the cars went for the highway. But there you meed a sign(a lot of store you can ask for one).

The point is this. Yhis all area is a shit area. I spent hours oround there searching for hope. My intent was to take the highway for torin but was very difficult. This spot was not signed but is the only good spot near by. If you are lucky you can meet someone who goes to milan or torin. A guy pick me up and drop me near Novara in a gas station. Best option considereting the bad area.

I was trying to get to Milan but I couldn't find anyone, it was all locals. Eventually I got a ride to Torino porta Susa and took the train. Getting to Turin is very easy and sometimes more south but not north

On a sunday i waited the whole day but the place was really dead, the only ones who stopped were going back to milan. I speak italian so i asked everyone in the station but got no luck at all, maybe i'll try again tomorrow.

Only 30 minutes to south it’s great spot. We got from Milan to Sanremo ride but also Genova and Monaco is very good spot

Most people go to Milan or somwhere near. You can catch some people going in both direction Swiss/ Easte Italy

After about 5-10 minutes, I noticed a sign behind me. I can't read Italian, but I assumed it said somehting about being fined for parking in the bus lane. So I left, deciding to try the parking lot of the grocery store. When walking to the parking lot, this gentleman and his girlfriend offered me a ride to the train station to get into Milan (my final destination). I found it difficult to refuse Italians, so I condede! They bought me some snacks in the store, which was incredibly generous! Additionally, another gentlemen who I had jokingly hailed on a bicycle told me he was heading to Milan in a few hours and that I would be welcome to hitch with him then. So two offers in 10 minutes!

Originally I tried to hitch from the petrol station just down the road from this bus stop. However, early hours in the morning, it was absolutely empty (although the first guy offered to give me a ride, but going down the wrong direction). Tried to take the bus to the on-ramp of the autobahn, but while waiting for the bus I managed to hitch a ride. Got incredibly lucky, went all the way down to near Milan!

2ppl, one standing with a sing, the other asking drivers at the gas station. Full holiday season, should be better on working days. Most cars going to milan.

The spot is good but there are lots of people going to Nicea. It's really the best spot to get a ride to Italy or to the east because there aren't really any other spots that are closer to the border. Do not settle for a ride to Nicea or Monaco if you want to get to Italy because there arent any more stations on the highway later on until Italy. We didn't see much succes on the gas station itself but we got a ride to Milan with a trucker from the parking. There are lots of trucks going far. The service is very nice and you can power your phones and other devices in many places in the station. There is also a lot of space with tables and chairs on the outside to cook and eat. If u dont manage to get a ride until the sunset, there is a good place to sleep behind the station by the revolving door in the bushes. It's hidden from the bigger road but seen from the smaller road on which there are almost no cars. To get there you have to get around an old fence. No need for a tent because there are almost no mosquitos. The station closes at 2 am and opens at 3am so when we asked they told us we can sleep on the couch or somewhere in the inside of a station but u would have to leave at 2am and wait an hour and u can come back at 3am.

Many people going for MIlan and Switzerland, but still got a ride to Bologna within 30min
