Perfect spot to go Venezia, personally I had a ride to Palmanova which is even further! :) thanks Marko in his old school van! Just ask around at the exit of the shop when people get out, avoid using thumb in case there's police (dis saw it all the day)🚨―cavalierrustique

Perfect spot to go to Verona, I was taking my time. I was just asking around in Italian outside the shop, if you do this you won't have any problems. There are some workers at the gas station so better to stay hidden from them! Thanks Benvenuto!―cavalierrustique

Workers on gas station are not friendly and don’t you let be there, you have to be next to Autogrill. Lot of people in weekend going direction Verona/Milan, but hitchhiking in Italy is not so easy. But you will definitely find a way and someone who’ll take you with.―TwoThumbsTravel

Lot of traffic, but better to ask someone to take you to highway at least, becase there are lot of directions from this place. We (a couple) had a sign Verona/Milan, it was raining so we asked a guy while he was filling the gas and he took us to gas station on highway.―TwoThumbsTravel

Good spot, lot of cars afternoon going to Venice or Trieste direction. We (couple) had a sign Venice/Verona and a young guy took us directly to Padova to the centre and bought us a drink afterwards.―TwoThumbsTravel

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.

we started asking around at the gas station, but after someone complained, the lady from the gas station threatened to call the police. she told us to stay at the entrance from the round-about, where she 'could not see us'. no one stopped for our sign, but at 10 the gas station closed and we continued asking people. we got a ride to the next big autogrill very quick.―meowcrew

We were originaly trying to get to vienna or in the direction of germany but we met a guy going to italy who was willing to take us with him so we went for it.Wouldn't recommend trying to go to vieanna from here. Many people seemed to go to Budapest from here

we were lucky, but in general a lot of italians don't stop. you can find good spots all along this road but probably only for short rides.―meowcrew

Unfortunate and bad at the same time. We walked ( 2 guys) from Mestre/Venice to get a ride to Udine/Palmanova. When we arrived 1 cars was freshly robbed! Police came told us that we cant stop cars. For about 2 hours we waited till the police left. Then we tried to asked drivers on the petrol station but the staff told us that we can do it only next to the entrance ir near to the shop next to the petrol station. So we devided one took a sign and went to the exit to take cars from petrol station and one tried to ask people that went to the shop. so after 3,5 hours we got a ride to better place, however from that place most of the cars to Venice and not to Palmanova/Udine. If you can, avoid this petrol station. It had bit sketchy vibe + most of the poeple werent very nice/ lot of city locals. Altought it wasnt very good place to stop, there are plenty of truck drivers, if you going alone, try your luck!―Anonymous

Asked around and got a ride from a very nice local going to Udina. He took us to the other station near Udine (Palmanova) at the highway intersecting direction Slovenia-Austria. He went and asked other italian people for 5 mins to pick us up next. Very funny guy. The gas station is filled with locals so you have to asked around and be ready to wait a bit.―Jachymulus

The spot on the way to Italy isn't practical, as there's not really room for the car to stop. But it did the trick for us as a car took us away after 5 minutes.―billybilly

> A4 Vicenza Verona Brescia Milano and further oncross on the other side (the autogrill is over the highway) and you have directions:
> Padova, Venezia, Udine, Trieste
never hh from there but brought friends there and they left successfully!
if coming from Padova take bus 11 to Taggì - or to Limena, try to get off nearby the highway then walk along it till the gas station

There is a gas station where you can ask, but most people stay locally. Cars go too fast to stop on the roundabout. Guaka and Erga tried getting 7 km east for two hours, without success.―Anonymous

you can hitch from this petrol station in western direction to PADOVA, and VICENZA also furtheron to MILANO on autobahn (motorway) 'A4'. there is mostly commuter traffic but people are friendly and someone will be able to take you on the next petrol station & rest area on A4 (around 15 kilometers west of MESTRE) when the newly built autobahn-bypass has joined again with the local 'A57' highway. this station here receives an 8 on my 1 to 10 scale (1 = very bad to hitch from, 10 = best place ever) as it5 is safe, many cars stop and people are friendly. again, ask drivers to take you on A4 to the next bigger petrol station, everyone understands english.―Anonymous

a very good relay on my way from MESTRE (VENEZIA) to MILANO in summer 2010. as not everyone from the MESTRE-area (from where i had departed) travels on long distance i had a stopover here for 30 minutes. there is lots and lots of traffic at this place - trucks, busses, cars. there is a petrol station, a rest area as well as a large restaurant. people speak english very well. there are oppportunities to get taken to PADOVA, VICENZA, VERONA, BRESCIA as well as MILANO during minutes. on my personal rating from 1 to 10 (1 = worst ever, don't go there!, 10 = perfect spot) i want to rate this place a "9 to 10" as it is safe, clean and people are very friendly.―Anonymous
