Good spot for going to Udine or the entrance of the highways
We took the second car who stopped and we got a ride straight to the entrance of the highway as we wanted !

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)

Not the best spot, few space to stop for the cars but the road i straight to the france and the landsvape is BEAUTIFULL. there are some french cars who come back from italy, and the road pass from the alpes and a outstanding lake. If you want to be fast is better walk 40 minuts back there is a spot for the hightway.

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).

Perfect spot(not on hight way), is a small station, there is a bar where I asked for a box paper for my sign. There is a lot of space for cars to see you and stop, is better using your thumb on the road. A guy bring me to the next station gas

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.

One of the crazier spots out there. Not sure whick hand to wave as theyre cars going on both sides. Feels dangerous, as the drivers sometimes hesitate which way they want to go. Your visable and there’s plenty room to spot. Got a ride to Milano with no sign almost right away.

Minus one star, because you feel, like a crazy person interrupting traffic.

You’re visable from 200/300 meters, there’s plenty room for the cars to stop, especially as they’re slowing down to enter the roundabout. Not enough space for the truckers, sadly. Some shade avaliable.

On the other side of the roundabout (towards padua) theres a motel with what looks like another good spot, since it combines fraffic from all directions towards padua. Didn’t get a chance to try it out, because wuickly i found a pleasant ride to Padua centro.

Do not catch in this spot if you want to go to Trieste! We made this mistake and waited for an hour and a half until some friendly driver took us to a different spot. Many cars heading there actually go through Conegliano. Most people here go to Venice or Padua. Some people told us that it would be better for us to try to catch a ride on the other side of the road, but the pedestrian tunnel connecting the 2 stations was closed.

Fantastic spot, lots of traffic going towards Italy. Got a ride a very long way in 20 minutes. Stand at the traffic circle with a sign just before the gas stations and people can pull into the gas station parking lot to pick you up

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

It's a great spot to get to Italy or Koper, but we were trying to get to Rijeka, and no one was going that way. We decided to walk the 4-5 km to crossroad the 6 and the A1, and hitchhiked there after literally two minutes.

i slept in the forest next to the station, theres a metal grid fence that you can easily climb in the truck stop area next to the highway. just make sure to wake up early to climb it up again with no one seeing. got a ride to metz by a nice belgian couple on their way to italy. lots of people were willing to take me but their cars were full of luggage.

Tried to move towards Italy. The spot is okay to go towards Gotthart. Many people move towards Bern though.aybe try to catch the Autogrill after the A1 and A2 split. During Holidays most cars are full of luggage.
Found a guy who took us towards Como eventually, which was great. I would say the spot is alright but not great.

Wonderful spot, despite the customer service at the café. Huge amounts of cars heading to south (mostly Balkan, maybe Italy too). Got a ride by asking people to Ljubljana, even though it was past midnight. Could've gotten to Bosnia as well by the same car.
