'''Warsaw''', or ([[Poland|Polish]]:''Warszawa'', [[Germany|German]]: 'Warszawa'Warschau'' in Polish, ) is the capital of [[Poland]].  == How to get out of Warsaw ==
==Hitching Out==
Why would you do that? Seriously, unfortunately for its inhabitants and fortunately for the hitchhikers, Warsaw does not have a district motorway nor is it linked to any major town with an expressway. As the city begins, most highways and expressways end and turn into regular surface streets. This is largely due to the density of city construction and importance of existing city transit systems: The destruction of either in order to construct an inner-city freeway network is viewed as unbeneficial. This makes reaching a good spot for hitchhiking much easier, as most major roads in fact start in the city centre.

===Going to [[Poznan ]] and [[Germany]]===
To go in the direction of [[Poznan]] and [[Berlin]]: Take the tram 26 and gett off at Fort Wola. There you can get in the bus 713 and get off at the last but one stop. The stop is just around the corner, you can stand at the street, there's a busstop where cars can stop and a steet lantern so you can also stand there in the dark.
===Going to [[Bialystok ]] and [[Lithuania]]===
To go in the direction of [[Bialystok]] and [[Lithuania]]: Take tram 25 from Central Station or any tram from Metro Ratusz. Get off at Dworzec Wilenska/Park Praski and walk to the bus stop in front of the Cinema. Catch bus 718 until the 2nd from last stop (this is where the bus turns). Hitch from the traffic lights, there is a street light, which helps at night. Note that the 718 goes outside of the city limits and additional ticket is required. The first stop outside the central fare zone is a place loved by controllers, so beware.
