'''Prague''' (''Praha'') is the capital of the [[Czech Republic]].
Writing a sign "PRAHA" clearly informs a driver that you are going to Prague
== Hitching out ==
=== East towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Dcz|11}}{{E|67}} === ==== Second option Option 1: Motorway service station on D11 ====You need Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. From here, take bus 221, 303, 304, 344, 353, or 398 to the bus-stop ''Na Kovárně''. Walk east along Náchodská ≈600m to the junction with Bořetická. Turn right on Bořetická and walk 1.2km to just over the motorway bridge. Take the path to the right here into the service station. There usually isn't very much traffic, but waiting times are likely to be short. If you get lost ask anyone for "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station. ==== Option 2: K+R (Parking Area) Černý Most ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is the K+R (Park & Ride) to the first big petrol right (east) of the station OMV which is popular with McDonalds on D8hitchhikers and possibly a better choice than option 1. It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions, e.g. "HK" (Hradec Králové) or "PL" (E55if going to Náchod and Poland). From “metro Letňany” take bus (166The disadvantage of this option is that there are only cars traveling out of Prague and not those coming from Prague ring road. However, 233there is no non-freeway solution to get a lift for those cars. === Northeast towards [[Mladá Boleslav]], 140[[Liberec]], 210[[Görlitz]] {{Dcz|10}}{{E|65}} ===[[File:Stop_hk.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Dj-bobr at the beginning of D11 Highway.]] ==== Option 1: Motorway service station on E65 ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the last station ''Černý Most''. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop “Obchodní centrum Čakovice”''Do Čertous''. Then When you get off the bus, the petrol station is behind the big orange building with "H1" on it. ==== Option 2: K+R (Parking) Černý Most ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the other side end station ''Černý most''. There is the K+R (Park & Ride) to the right (east) of the station. Lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB" (Mladá Boleslav) or "LB" (Liberec). It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions. Due to the construction of sections of the Prague Ring (R1), long-distance traffic is lower each day; however, this spot is still usable. === Northwest towards [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Teplice]], [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Dcz|8}}{{E|55}} === If you are passing through Dresden, take a look at the [[Dresden]] hitchwiki page. From either of the spots you can take rides to OMV petrol station before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after Ústí nad Labem. The hitchhiking positions there are also good. ==== Option 1: D8 ==== Take metro line C (red) to ''Holešovice''. From here, take bus 201 to ''Vychovatelna'' (2023 stops) . You will find a great spot with lots of traffic still going slow right at the bus station. The author had not noted that there are three lanes on this road, and ride one stop the two inside lanes take the cars to “Na Lukách” or you can walk there for 10 minutesDresden. The bus stop “Na Lukách” lane of course is very close great and the cars are not going too fast, but anyone going to Dresden on this road would need to cut across a few car lanes to come pick you up. Quite possible but there are better options than this. ==== Option 2: OMV petrol station / Mcdonalds on D8==== Option 1 walking Take metro line C (E55red) motorway to ''Letňany''. Keep walking northwest along Tupolevova for 500 m, crossing over Beranovych to the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights. Cross Tupolevova here and keep heading southwest on the pathway leading onto Opocenska. Walk ≈250 m along Opocenska and you will see a small footpath to the right (before the pedestrian/cycle bridge over the highway) heading straight to the OMV petrol station (≈150 m walk). Option 2 metro + bus Take metro line C (red) to ''Letňany''. Take bus 195, 140, 158, 110, or 269 to the stop ''Obchodní centrum Čakovice''. Turn back in the direction the bus came from and walk ≈1km along Kostelecká (past the roundabout) until you needreach the sliproad coming off the D8. This is just before the bridge over the D8. From that Turn left into the sliproad and after walking ≈100m, you will come to the petrol station you can hitch-hike (with a McDonalds behind it). === West towards [[Plzeň]], [[Klatovy]], [[Nürnberg]], [[München]] {{Dcz|5}}{{E|50}}=== Most drivers go directly to Plzeň. However, getting a direct lift to Dresden directly Germany or even further is not unusual. All petrol stations on the {{Dcz|5}} are fine for hitchhiking although often with little traffic. ==== Option 1: Rozvadovská spojka ==== Take metro line B (yellow) to ''Hůrka''. Turn left (west) out of the last petrol station OMV before Lovosiceand then turn north towards the Albert supermarket. Walk around the left side of Albert supermarket heading up and then over a small bridge until you reach a school. Walk around the school on the left side, heading north, until you reach Běhounkova. Walk ≈ 30m north along Běhounkova until you see the gap in the wall on the left - cut through the parking place and take the path through the gap and you will reach the large bus stop on Nárožní. Cross it and continue to the intersection with Bucharova. The hitchTurn left on Bucharova -hiking position you will see signs to "Plzeň". Go over the bridge and turn left down the entry slip road to Rozvadovská spojka. After the bend, there is also gooda great place for hitchhiking: lights, straight, hard shoulder with lots of space to stop. Although it's not allowed to stay there, the police don't make any problems here.
Take metro line B (yellow) to '''Warning'Nové Butovice''. Then take bus 184 (direction Hradčanská) or bus 174 (direction Vypich) and get off at the second stop: If "Šafránkova". (The stop is a request stop, so it means that you are passing through Dresdenhave to push the button in the bus to stop it). Cross over the road (Bucharova) and walk south 200m to the slip road, take a look and continue to the hitching point on [[Dresden]] hitchwiki pageRozvadovská spojka as described above.
==== Third option =Southeast towards [[Brno]], [[Ostrava]], [[Bratislava]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] {{Dcz|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|59}}{{E|65}} <br />& South towards [[České Budějovice]], [[Linz]] {{Dcz|3}}{{E|55}} ===
