Without sign (or with sign "PLZ" or "Plzeň") you can easily get to Plzeň (don't take cars before Plzeň). For Germany is better to use sign ("D") (and again, take only cars going to Germany or at least to the border where is good petrol station).
=== Southeast towards [[Brno]], [[BratislavaOstrava]], [[BudapestBratislava]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|59}}{{E|65}} <br />+ south towards [[České Budějovice]], [[Linz]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|3}}{{Motorway Number Czech Republic|3}}{{E|55}} ===It's important good to write have a sign!at this road and definitely for south direction. Every bigger petrol station at [[D1 (CZ)|D1]] is good for hitchhiking.
==== First option ====
Use the Easily reachable petrol station, it is not a good place, easier lot of traffic though. Good in bad-weather or snow conditions. Go to reach than the other options and you'll get rides quickly. From metro station "OpatovChodov" (red line C), red) exit straight out of the station there is big shopping centre, try to not get lost there and take a left following the winding red ramp up to street level/find the road above"Roztylská" going through it. Look on the bus stop timetables (bus stop next Go to the Replay shop) for traffic lights at the stop end of this tunnel and continue by following cyclopath - yellow signs with "K SukovuZáběhlice" on route 363 (you are going south, the buses should leave every 15 minutes (less frequent on the weekend), and you can use the same ticket that you got on the metro). ''Because of a reconstruction the bus now leaves from next (last) metro stop '''Háje'''! (summer 2013)''Get to /or "K SukovuChodovec" (takes roughly 10 minutes) – written. After 700 m you'll know you're there when you see will get to the petrol station in bridge over the distance to your right after getting off the busmotorway. From "K Sukovu" walk in Use the direction the bus is going for about 500m round to staircase at the right beggining of the road. Cross the motorway bridge and to get down to the petrol station is on your right. This is a perfect spot!

Regular local hitchers were about, as well as hitchers doing the race.]]  '''User Dante1919:''' I tried this option and it was the hardest ride end of my trip. First of all you "have to" pay for bus number 363. Although I convinced left lane, at the driver I didn't have money and he let me get in. Petrol station was a hard place to hitch, and most left side of the drivers didn't even care for my sign. You can try truck drivers as the place is a resting stop for them. Just be careful with the Romanian ones. They might ask for moneyroad.
==== Second option ====
From metro station "Opatov " (red line C, red) follow noise to the motorwaymain road up. Walk along the road about 5 minutes, keep going over the crossroad and the bridge over the motorway (see second map). Now you might see other hitchhikers on the slip-road. Alternatively, you can take bus number 177 from metro "Opatov " to next station called (request) stop "U Dálnice". (It's request stop, so press the stop-button after the bus starts moving.) Be careful and stay on the slip road, not on the motorway (sometimes police passes by).<br />Very common spot, not so good in fact. Average waiting time is less than one hour. From the bridge If you stuck there, you can see the petrol station 'Újezd u Průhonic' – it's about 1.5&nbsp;walk 2 km by motorway, but it isn't a good place.[[User:tmoon|Tom]] shared this spot with about 20 other hitchhikers during a race in April 2007 (most started at to the slip-road spot described above, but just got dumped at this petrol station). While his teammates fell asleep on the grass for 3 hours 4 (!)again, he was able to chat with other hitchhikers and drivers, and get ride offers towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]] and [[Kraków]]. The average waiting time was 20–30 minutesif police goes around, plus there were several truck drivers promising longer lifts after a few hoursthey' rest. :'''August 2012''' Hitchhiking to India leg 3: Heading to Brno. Perfect spot just next ll tell you to walk on the McDonald's. I waited maybe ten minutes before someone could take me to a service station within striking distance of my destination. About half an hour there before I was picked up again and taken the whole way. Great spot, just a bit of a trek to reach itfield beside motorway). Lookingforstu
==== Third option ====
Especially good option at night when there is little traffic at spots 1 and 2. At the end of bus stop opposite to metro station "Kačerov" (red line C), find stairs going down. You will go over train tracks, stairs down again, then around metro tracks and turn right before the motorway. You will see OMV petrol station but just cross the grass strip and 2 lanes leading to the station and stay at the shoulder at the beggining of motorway (there is sign). Police doesn't make troubles there and for cars it means end of 50 kmph limit, so they're still quite slow. The shoulder is wide, safe and alight.<br />
There are not many cars at that petrol station behind or they have different directions (often [[Pilsen]]).
* Take Metro C till '''Chodov'''==== Fourth option ====* leaving the metro entry turn [[File:ujezdupruhonicprague.jpg|thumb|right into road '''Roztylska''' until you reach |250px|Hitchhikers at Újezd u Průhonic petrol station. Regular local hitchhikers were around, as well as hitchhikers doing the roundaboutrace.]]First motorway petrol station behind Prague, really good hitchhiking but takes extra time to get there.* the 2nd From metro "Opatov" (red line C) exit straight out of the roundabout is yours, then again turn station and take a left following the winding red ramp up to street level/the first right into road '''Kloknetova'''* walk straight through above. Look on the path in the bush bus stop timetables (bus stop next to the left of the bridgeReplay shop), cross for the streetstop "K Sukovu" on route 363, step over the small fence, and you are in the gas station The gasbuses leave every 15-station is a smaller 30 minutes. You have to show valid ticket or buy one right on the motorway. If from driver!Get to "K Sukovu" (takes roughly 10 minutes) – you won't find a long-distance ride ll know you can ask drivers to bring 're there when you see the petrol station in the distance to your right after getting off the next gas-stations as described bus. Follow the main road in other options. At this bigger gas station lots of people stop to refill bus direction and are going direction [[Brno]], [[Vienna]] after 400 m go over motorway bridge and [[České Budějovice]]down to the petrol station on your right.
On ==== Fifth option ====Quite near city centre, cars are slow, high traffic density and nobody expect hitchhikers there but you can be lucky. At metro station "Vyšehrad" (red line C) get to the Viva con Agua Hitchhike Race in 2009 right side of the main road - one team chose that spot is leading to the huge bridge and it worked our pretty good!:''I got a little lost trying to get therecity centre, don't get confused at opposite is yours - and use the round sidewalk for about or go 300 m. After the small bridge, continue left to weird onramp behind the mallmain road and hitchhike. Once I got there I got a ride There are 3 lanes and one parking lane and ussualy some place to Bratislava in 1minute -lex''stop.
==== Sixth option ====
Go up from metro station "Roztyly" (red line C) and cross all the parking places to the motorway. Hard shoulder there is good and alight at night but it's not allowed to stay there. And cars are already a bit fast.
=== South towards [[Příbram]], [[Písek]], [[České Budějovice]] {{rcz|4}} ===
