Aire de Capellen
Fantastic spot to get to Belgium but be careful when walked from the Capellen station, there was a fence and closed gate. It was not an easy climb.rating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 🪧, ride: 227 km ↖

Great spot to hitchhike to Belgium - especially Brussels. I was hitching to Amsterdam and started Friday at 19:00. Within 30 minutes I had 7 offers to go to Brussels. Eventually I accepted a ride to Maastrict and went from there to Amsterdam. Great spot!

Excellent spot for hitchhiking to Belgium. Got ride to Brussels after 30 min waiting. Heaps of cars and trucks stop here to rest and fill a tank.

Excellent spot for destination Netherlands. Almost exclusively Dutch plates here. I asked the first car when I got our of my previous car and got a ride immediately to Eindhoven.

Excellent spot. Was here twice, and both times I got a direct lift to my destination (Brussels and Maaseik)

Nice spot. Got a ride in about 30 minutes for about 150 km to a petrol station in the direction of Brussels.

Pretty good spot. Not always the best in terms of waiting times but I've often got rides straight to my home in Brussels from here.

So far my first and BEST hitchhiking experience. Got out my sign, very first car stopped, driver took me 300km, close to Lille. Considering I was there in the morning with little traffic, this was a huge success! :) Stand at the very end of the service station, there's a parking lane there! Perfect.

So far the worst experience. Noone wanted to even take us to Belgium. Got a ride after 3h.

Big petrol station with plenty of traffic to B and NL. You get here by taking the train to Capellen (4th stop from Luxembourg station), a short walk and an easy climb over a fence.
