== Hitchhiking out ===== East, towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[NáchodWrocław]], [[Wrocław{{Motorway Number Czech Republic|11}}{{E|Wroclaw]] 67}} ===From Cerny "Černý most", the last station of B-line metro(yellow) take bus to station "Na Kovárně" (221, 303, 304, 344, 353, 398), it is about 10 minutes ride and probably you are going to pay few croundscrowns, but not much. Hundred metres behind the stop turn right and go along Tlustého street, after last house keep the right(bigger) road, then left before the cemetery. Go across the bridge to the petrol station. It is about 1,5 km, but I think it is the best hitch spot on this direction. There usuall isn´t usually aren't too many cars, but I´v I've never been there more than half an hour. If you get lost ask anyone about "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station (road E67).

==== Second option ====Maybe better is to use K+R place near Cerny "Černý Most " metro station, lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use sign HK (Hradec KraloveKrálové) or PL (if you want to Nachod Náchod and Poland). It's necessary to use the sign, because cars there are there going to many directions.Disadvantage is that there are only cars travelling traveling out of Prague - not those going from Prague ring road. But there is no non-freeway solution how to pick up those cars. My personal experience (dj-bobr) for east way (Hradec KraloveKrálove, Poland) is that you can try to hitchhike at the beginning of D11 Highway (50.098664 N, 14.597708 E). It's a motorway, but police dondoesn't care, if you stand safe at the shoulder.

=== North-East, Northeast towards [[Mlada Mladá Boleslav]], [[Liberec]], [[GoerlitzGörlitz]], {{E|65}} ===

You can hitch from a gas station on the E65. Take the metro line B (yellow) to the last station, Cerny Černý Most. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop called "Do CertousČertous". When you get off the bus the gas station is behind the big orange building with "H1" on it.

==== Second option ====Another option is to use K+R place near Cerny "Černý Most " metro station (the same for going to Hradec KraloveKrálové), lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use sign MB (Mlada Mladá Boleslav), LB (Liberec). It's necessary to use the sign, because cars are there going to many directions.

=== North, North-West, Northwest towards [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|8}}{{E|55}}===

You must go to "Letňanská " (e.g. bus 195, 140, 158 from metro "Prosek"). Then going down from the bus, you can see the entrance of the motorway straight ahead. Put yourself so you have the motorway on your right, then cross the street (going north then), and then the parking, and go behind the buildings, looking for a small bridge (“most” in Czech), going above the motorway. From there you will see the petrol station. There are not so many people stopping there, but they all are (almost) going in the good direction. Just ask if they are going north (“sever”) or if they can just let you on the next petrol station (“příští pumpa”/“prschieschtee pumpa”), where there will be normally more cars.

You need to get to the first big petrol station OMV with McDonalds on D8(E55). From metro station ”Letňany” take bus (195, 140, 158, 110, 269) to the stop “Obchodní centrum Čakovice”. Then on the other side of the road take bus (202) and ride one stop to “Na Lukách”. Bus goes once in an hour, so it's better to walk there for 10 minutes. The bus stop “Na Lukách” is very close to D8(E55) motorway. If you took bus or walked, then go towards the bridge and from there you can see the petrol station at left. From that petrol station you can either hitch-hike to Dresden directly or to the last petrol station OMV before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after Usti[[Ústí nad Labem]]. The hitch-hiking position there is also good.

Use the third option, if you don't want to go with so many buses. Just take the red metro line (C) to the terminal station Letňany and then walk from there to the spot marked by Fatidik. It is 300m walking from there. Walk to the street Tupolevova and at the first crossing left into the Beranovych Beranových until the end, then right and straight until you see a small walking path leading you to the service station. There are not so many cars and you may wait a little long if you are two male hitchers.

=== West, towards [[Plzeň|Plzen]], [[Nürnberg]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|5}}{{E|50}}===From metro Zlicin "Zličín" (line B, yellow), take bus nr 380 or 308 to RudnaRudná. The village main road goes straight through it. Stop around the center of the village, busstop Rudna Horelice "Rudná Hořelice" which is the 13th stop. Ticket costs approximately 18 Koruna. You'll see the motorway passing on the bridge on your right. Go under the bridge and walk on the main road until the 3 rd 3rd right turn which is called HorelickaHořelická. Take the third road , go straight until the end and you will see (Ke Hristihřisti). Take the small path at the end of the street, you'll arrive at the gas station. It's a 5-10 min walk. Avoid going into Plzen Plzeň or getting dropped off on the bypass. It's better to try to find a direct ride to [[Germany]] from the last petrol station before PlzenPlzeň. ( ** We 2 guys waited here for 45 minutes before getting a hitch hike upto the border of Germany post which going to [[Paris ]] was easy. Verified on 6th September 2011)

Another ==== Second option is to take ====Take a tram (9, 10) to ''"Motol''", that's where the motorway link starts. Not a perfect place, but cars are not too fast and there are quite a lot of Germans passing. ==== Third option ====From metro "Zličín" (line B, yellow) go the the crossroad on traffic lights, there's a bridge before (under the bridge are railways), so walk on the traffic light and stand right on the triangle, you can catch cars from both ways, they are going slowly there, and there's also a place to stop. We have been waiting there for 10 minutes. ( This OPTION Does not work - Don't Waste Time. verified on 6th Sep 2011 ) Look at the picture for details: [http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7165/topilsen.jpg nice spot]

'''Another ==== Fourth option''':====From I go quite often Prague<->Pilsen and this is the best spot for me. Take metro B (yellow line) to "ZlicinHůrka" (line B, yellow) go walk around Albert shop, upstairs and over the small bridge. Than continue around school and still the same direction. You will see the crossroad on traffic lightswall so go behind, there's a bridge before (under is bus stop and big road. Go right to the bridge are railways)crossroads, so walk on there go left. You will se signs "Plzeň". Over the traffic light bridge and stand right on down to the triangle, you can catch cars from both ways, they are going slowly there, left and there's also a is great place . Quite long and lot of space to stop. We have been waiting Police stopped only once but after 2 minutes talking they went out and let me there for 10 minutes. ( This OPTION Does not work - Don't Waste Time. verified on 6th Sep 2011 ) Look at the picture for details: [http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7165/topilsen.jpg nice spot]

Without sign (or with sign "PLZ" or "Plzeň") you can easily get to Plzeň (don't take cars before Plzeň). For Germany is better to use sign ("D") (and again, take only cars going to Germany or at least to the border where is good petrol station). From "Hůrka" you will be at the spot in 10-15 minutes. You can also get off at "Nové Butovice" (1 station before "Hůrka") and just continue around main road to that spot (20 minutes) and hitchhike on the way, I have to test it. === South-east, Southeast towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] (D1 highway) {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|59}}{{E|65}} <br />+ south towards [[České Budějovice]], [[Linz]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|3}}{{Motorway Number Czech Republic|3}}{{E|55}} ===It's important to write sign!==== First option ====From metro Opatov (line C, red) follow noise to the motorway. Walk along the road about 5 minutes, keep going over the crossroad and the bridge over the motorway (see second map). Now you might see other hitchhikers on the slip-road. Alternatively, you can take bus number 177 from metro Opatov to next station called "U DalniceDálnice". (It's request stop, so press the stop-button after the bus starts moving.) Be careful and stay on the slip road, not on the motorway (sometimes police passes by). Average waiting time is less than one hour. From the bridge you can see the petrol station 'Újezd u Průhonic' – it's about 1.5&nbsp;km by motorway, but it isn't a good place.

Use the petrol station, it is a good place, easier to reach and you'll get rides quickly. From metro "Opatov " (line C, red) climb the steps to the motorway. Look on the bus stop timetables for the stop “K Sukovu” "K Sukovu" on route 324, 363 or 385 (you are going south, the buses should leave every 15 minutes, and you can use the same ticket that you got on the metro). Get to "K Sukovu " – you'll know you're there when you see the petrol station to your right. From "K Sukovu " walk in the direction the bus is going for about 500m. After you cross the motorway bridge, the petrol station is on your right. This is a perfect spot! (MF)

The gas-station is a smaller one right on the motorway, but even if you won't find a long-distance ride in the first 10 minutes you can ask drivers to bring you to the next gas-stations which is 10 minutes away by car.at At this bigger gas station lots of people stop to refill and are going direction [[Brno]], [[Vienna]] and Ceske Budejovice [[BudweisČeské Budějovice]].
