=== North towards [[Brno]] or [[PragPrague]] (D2) {{European Route Number|65}} ===In the north of the city there is a small service station at the motorway going north to Brno. Take bus #34 or #83 from the old town, eg. from next to the Presidential Palace, to the bus stop ''Húščavova''. The bus stop is directly after the bus turns left and crosses the hightway over a bridge. You need to indicate that you want to get off the bus at this station. In the worst case though, you can get off at the next stop ''Lipského'' and walk a bit more. When you leave the bus just walk back over the bridge and turn left and walk to the next traffic light to the station.

Cross over the big road to your right and walk down past the Porsche dealership. Hitchhike on the highway just beyond the bus stop. Its not the greatest spot, but there isn't any other.The road splits into the E75 and the E58/E571 approximately 30 km east from here. === South towards [[Budapest]] {{European Route Number|75}}, [[Vienna]] {{European Route Number|58}} ===
Several options:
# When heading for [[Budapest]] you will see that the border is around 15 km from '''Bratislava'''. It is walkable within walking distance (''if you like that kind of thing'') follow the motorway but be aware that once outside the city there are no [[petrol station]]s and only one parking place which is more or less between the border and '''Bratislava'''. The parking is far from ideal, very quiet, no services and so large its difficult to talk to drivers.
# Go to the shopping centre AUPARK, there is a OMV petrol station with lots of cars going to the motorway, try to get a lift to the first petrol station on the motorway named Jarovce
(I tried this option with a girlfriend. Enough cars, a lot of drivers speak English, but nobody is going to the motorway and everybody has a car filled with groceries, kids or a wife (MF))
From the city centre take a tram number 2 or 4 in direction of Zlate Piesky, get off at the last stop. Then walk along the road around 15 minutes. When you see the beginning of the motorway with a sign Győr, Wien, on your right handside you will notice a petrol station. Go a few metres through bushes, and once you get to the fence, there is a hole in fence. Jump over it (its just one metre or something) and you are at the petrol station directly on the motorway. From there its VERY easy to get a lift to Wien, a bit harder to Hungary. Some people also go to Italy using this way to avoid paying for viniets for Austria, which are expensive.
Another possibility, that you might not think about on the first look of the map is a motorway-petrol station in the northeast of the city. Take Bus 63 (crosses the hole town) and get out at Tesco Lamac (next to a shopping center). Walk 1km 1 km northwards and you get to a bridge that crosses the motorway. Downstairs @ Go down the steps at the bridge and another 100m north and you're there.
