=== Towards [[Plovdiv]], [[Sofia]], [[Serbia]] ===
In order to get to [[Plovdiv]], [[Sofia]] or further west you should take the bus that goes to [[Dimitrovgrad]]. You can take it from ''Lebeda, Chochko or Rakovska''. The price of the bus in 2012 was 1 BGN. Tell the driver to stop on the junction that leads to [[Plovdiv]]. Then walk to the bridge that is above and you can start hitching from there. It is relatively easy because the cars have plenty of space to pull over.
The rumor is that in the middle of next year (2013) the highway that connects [[Sofia]] with [[Istanbul]] will be finished and it will pass very close to [[Dimitrovgrad]].
=== Towards [[Stara Zagora]], [[Bourgas]], [[Varna]], [[Rousse]], [[Romania]] ===
Do the same as if you would go to [[Sofia]] but when you get off at the beer factory ''Astika'' don't go on the bridge and keep hitchhiking north. The ring of [[Dimitrovgrad]] is new and there is a lot of traffic passing by.
