'''Slovakia''' is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]] with borders to [[Austria]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Poland]], [[Ukraine]] and [[Hungary]]. Off the international routes, few drivers may stop when you are standing on the road, so it is best to ask directly at gas stations. Some, but not many drivers speak English or German. Russian is more widely understood, but not necessarily liked. It is not common from the drivers to ask money for a ride. Hitchhiking in Slovak is called ''autostop''.
Slovakia has one major highwaymotorway, the [[D1 (Slovakia)|D1]]. Hitchhiking directly on this road is not allowed, but one can hitchhike from entry ramps or ask drivers for a lift at petrol stations. On the country's national roads, you can simply stand wherever cars are going slowly and put out your thumb.
