Hitchhiking out

West towards Hrodna, Vilnius

  • Option 1: Take Metro (2nd (red) line Aŭtazavodskaja linija (Аўтазаводская лінія)) to the last station Kamiennaja Horka (Каменная горка), get off, walk 50m (direction west) and hitch right from the bus stop.
  • Option 2: Take Metro (2nd (red) line Aŭtazavodskaja linija) to Kamiennaja Horka, get off and go west towards M9 (~2km). The spot is right after on-ramp from M9 to M6.

East, Southeast towards Mahilioŭ, Babrujsk, Homiel

Take Metro (2nd (red) line Aŭtazavodskaja linija) to Mahilioŭskaja' ("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus #112 to Sokal get off at the junction with M1. You can try hitching just after the junction or walk 1.5 km towards junction of M4 (towards Mahilioŭ) and M5 (towards Homiel) roads.

Alternatively, you can take bus #93 from the same station and get off right after it turns off from the motorway, walk a few hundred metres in the same direction with the traffic to the closest bus stop on the motorway to start hitchhiking from there.

East towards Barysaŭ, Moscow, Russia

  • Option 1 (night-time): take Metro (1st (blue line "Maskoŭskaja linija")) to Uručča ("Уручча") station, then get the bus #15, #99, #263 to 9-y kilamietr ("9-ы кіламетр") stop, get out and walk 0.5km NE along the road. The spot is right after junction.
  • Option 2 (day-time): take Metro (2nd (red) line Avtozavodskaya linija) to Mahilioŭskaja ("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus #512 to Sokal get off at the turn from M1 to Sokal. Spot is right after this crossroad.

An alternative is to take any public transport going to the airport of Minsk. It is outside the city on the road to Moscow. If you let yourself drop on the last turn before the airport, you are on a perfect spot and direct lifts to Moscow are not uncommon.

Southwest towards Brest, Poland

Take Metro (1st (blue) line Maskoŭskaja linija) to "Malinaŭka" ("Малінаўка") station. Then you can either walk about 1 km or take bus #28 (direction "Karžanieŭskaha" ("Каржанеўскага")) to Pavarot na Malinaŭku ("Паварот на малінаўку") stop (next stop). Travel time by bus is about 3 min.
