Not easy to go to this place, but when you go through the field it is a quite fine spot to go to Milan from nearby villages. We had a sign Milano. A guy took us to a metro station, by metro we went to the southern part of Milano to Romolo station and continued to Genova from there.―TwoThumbsTravel

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.―TwoThumbsTravel

Estis iom malfacile alveni tien, preterpasi la barilon kaj ĉion tian. Kiam mi alvenis al la stacidomo, estis policanoj ĉe la elirejo. Mi sukcesis alivesti min parolante kun alia aŭto, kiu haltis ĝuste ĉe la elirejo, sed ĉar mi sciis, ke ili havas problemojn kun petveturantoj, mi atendis, ke ili foriru por provi sur la vojo, kio daŭris horojn... tamen, dum ili estis tie, mi provis de la alia flanko de la stacidomo diskrete demandi homojn. Estis malfacile kiam du policaj aŭtoj alvenis kaj staris ĉe kontraŭaj flankoj; ŝajnis, ke ili nur atendis petveturantojn. Mi kredas, ke la antaŭa stacidomo estus pli bona laŭ la priskriboj. Sed ĝi funkciis; mi ricevis veturon al Germanio, kio multe helpis min, ĉar mi iris al la Eŭropa Ĉielarka Festivalo en Belgio.Artista paro veturigis min. Ili dormis en Svislando, en la montoj ĉe la domo de kelkaj amikoj, kaj ĉi tiuj amikoj ankaŭ akceptis min tie por dormi kaj ankaŭ dum la mateno, kiam ni faris artajn agadojn kune.

This is a good gas station to get a ride into Switzerland. People here go all the way to Basel and at least through the Gotthard tunnel.―Anonymous

Direction Venezia - BresciaDon't loose your time to go there from the center of Milano. It's dangerous, drivers go fast, and you will wait hours.

an ESSO petrol station right on autobahn (autostrada, motorway) A4 BRESCIA-MILANO- TORINO. you can reach the station through the commercial area (north of the station) in walking a circle (westward) around some of the manufacturing halls, there is a swing door that connects the station's platform with the surrounding roads (street: "via aquileia") of the quarter. ATM-tram number 31 takes you from the city center to the corner "via monfalcone/via massimo gorki" from where you can walk to the station in 5 to 7 minutes. i have not hitchhiked from there but will do so next week (on a MILANO-TORINO trip), the spot seems to be excellent because of its safe surrounding, many cars passing by also easy accesibility. there is also a restaurant and a snack shop.―Anonymous

Got a ride to Milano in 5 minutes and a ride to Bellinzona in about an hour. Good place for both directions. Give a smile to the station attendants so they wont bother you.―Simonkfr

It's very easy to reach! when you turn right at the bridge continue to walk you ll find an open door (07-2014)! but keep in mind there's a new highway that connects Milan to Brescia directly without passing to Bergamo! it's faster but this spot should still working good!―Vulla

somewhat bad place for me (headed to Genova), it took a while to talk my way into a ride,around 1:30 hours in the mid day, but with help of the station workers I got a ride to just south of Milano to a gas station―Whateversclaver

This is the 2nd spot described at the "East towards Verona" section of the "Milano" hitchwiki page (http://hitchwiki.org/en/Milan). The directions to get here are the following:"An alternative and easier option is to take the metro (green line) to Cologno Nord. It doesn't really matter which exit you leave the station by, as long as you are walking north. Follow the road for about 5 or 10 minutes until you get to the beginning of the bridge over the motorway. Rather than actually crossing the bridge, you turn right, off the road, and walk along the raised grassy area beside the motorway. After 4 or 5 minutes you will have reached a gas station."
I followed them and got there with no problems whatsoever. Even though it's a small place and not too many cars or trucks stop there, I got a lift in about 30 minutes!

You can reach this Petrol station from Gessate the last stop of Metro 2 Green Line and after that walking and arrive there without walking on highway check the map( but you can lost easily if you don't have a map so i advice the spot on cologno nord,easier to reach) it's full of cars and foreigner trucks i found a ride asking to truck-drivers after 5 minutes!!―Anonymous
