Düsseldorf is the capital city of the German Bundesland North Rhine-Westphalia. It's located in the west of Germany.
Hitching Out
West towards Aachen, Belgium, Paris
Take public transportations to the bus stop Grevenbroich, Daimlerstraße in order to get to the petrol station on the A46 in Grevenbroich. You can find a schedule here or have a look at www.vrr.de. It's easy to find. The bus ride will take you less than an hour.
You can also start from the Aral petrol station at Südring 115. Take tram 712 to "Südring". From there walk about 500m the "Südring" towards the city (when you see the Rhine, you walked to the wrong direction). On Saturday evening there's always a "muscle car" meeting.
North, East towards Hamburg, Osnabrück, Münster, Hannover, Berlin
The best way to head this direction is probably to take the public transportations to the petrol station along the A2. Take the train at Düsseldorf central station (Hauptbahnhof) to Oberhausen-Sterkrade and then the bus #979 to Heinrich-Heine-Straße. You will see the motorway from this street, so just walk towards it. It will take you ca. 54 Minutes to get there with this connection. The fare is about € 9,20, but it is really worth it, because from this station you will get off very quickly.
South towards Cologne, Bonn
<map lat='51.129142' lng='6.603041' zoom='12' view='0' float='right'/> Take the public transportations to the petrol station in Hilden, Ohligser Heide at the A3. There are several ways to get there. If you are in Düsseldorf-Bilk, type in the busstation next to you at vrr.de, because there are buses going there. That would be very quick. You can also just ask at the service point of Düsseldorf central station how to get to Hilden - Südfriedhof or Hilden S, or go to vrr.de and type in the connection. If you go to Hilden S-train station, you will have to walk a bit (see map). It will take you ca. 40 Minutes to get there.
If someone goes to Frankfurt ask him to leave you at the second petrol station without Motel, because mojo rising got stuck on the first one for a few hours and after asking one truck driver what's the best way he said that going to the next station would be better (30 km further). There he didn't wait more than 20 minutes.
