Area di Villoresi Est
Don’t try to get here by foot, I walked via the motorway and it was super dangerous. The first people I asked went to Freiburg Germany, the Gotthardt tunnel closed at night, so if you are late you might have to wait for the morning.rating: 5/5, wait: 0 min 💬, ride: 341 km ↖

We needed to get to Germany. Most of the cars were Italians, a few Switz cars as well. After 2 hours, we changed our "Germany" sign for "Como" (the town just before the Switz borders) and got a ride in 20 minutes to a petrol station in front of Como.
That's my experience. However, two friends who started hitchhiking right after we got the ride and used the same signs got stuck at the petrol station for 7 hours with no lift anywhere north towards the A9 highway.
Overall, I would say it's a good place theoretically, but Italians simply won't take you. If you need to go north, hitch towards Como and stop at the petrol station just in front of Como. There all the cars go north and it's easier to catch a ride there. There's way more Switz. French and German cars there.

A good location if you want to travel to Switzerland or Germany. There's a lot of traffic, even at 1 a.m. We managed to reach Frankfurt am Main (Germany) in 60 minutes during our drive in August 2022.

It was pretty easy to get a ride here. I was even too lazy to ask ppl and just showed my banner - 30 minutes. You'll be even quicker with asking Swiss or German cars.

We were heading to Varese so it took us some time. It appears MANY cars go to Como so that should be quite an easy route to take...
