===Going North or West ([[Paris]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Holland]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]]) ===Take bus number 6 bus that goes from the city centre (République) to 'La MEXEMAXE'. The ticket costs around 2 1 Euro. ATTENTION! It runs only once an hour. Look at the [http://www.tcrm-metz.fr/UserFiles/File/lignes/l6.pdf schedule]. Get off at the stop beside the massive IKEA shopping centre and walk down the road until you see a roundabout and a ESSO service station nearby. Walk down the ramp until you reach both of the exits. One [[hitchhiker]] got a lift within 10 minutes while standing between the ESSO petrol station exit and a [[motorway]] exit. There is a lot of international traffic in this region.
Another option, is a 2 kilometer walk from the center. Walk along Boulevard du Pontiffroy towards North-West. Turn right on the Rue Ardant du Picq (Follow the signs saying Luxembourg/[[Thionville]]). After crossing two bridges you will find the ramp to the highway. You can hitch right before the ramp, on the bridge. See the map. This might be a bit problematic during rush-hour, but then it could be better to hitch with a [[sign]] right after the roundabout on the end of Boulevard du Pontiffroy.
