== Hitching out ==
=== East towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|11}}{{E|67}} ===
From "Černý most", the last station of the B (yello) line of the metro, take a bus to the stop "Na Kovárně" (221, 303, 304, 344, 353, 398), it is about a 10-minute ride and probably you are going to a few euro, but not much. A hundred metres after the stop turn right and go along Tlustého street, after last house keep the right (bigger) road, then left before the cemetery. Go across the bridge to the petrol station. The walk is about 1.5 km total. There usually isn't very much traffic, but waiting times are likely to be short. If you get lost ask anyone about "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station.
Disadvantage is that there are only cars traveling out of Prague - not those going from Prague ring road. But there is no non-freeway solution to get a lift on those cars.
=== Northeast towards [[Mladá Boleslav]], [[Liberec]], [[Görlitz]] {{rczDcz|10}}{{E|65}} ===

Another option is to use the K+R place near "Černý Most" metro station (the same for going to Hradec Králové); lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB" (Mladá Boleslav), "LB" (Liberec). It's necessary to use a sign, because the road splits in many directions. Because of building of Prague Ring (R1) sub-parts, long-distance traffic is lower each day, but this spot is still usable.
=== North, Northwest towards [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Teplice]], [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|8}}{{E|55}}===
'''Warning''': If you are passing through Dresden, take a look at the [[Dresden]] hitchwiki page. From either of the spots you can take rides to OMV petrol station before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after Ústí nad Labem. The hitchhiking positions there are also good.
From metro terminal station "Zličín" (yellow line B) go under the road and immediately left. Continue along the road for 150 m to crossroad with traffic lights. You can stand right on the triangle, down at the highway (police can kick you out) or ask people at the nearby petrol station, KFC or parking lots. None of the places is good (1st and 2nd option are recommended).
=== Southeast towards [[Brno]], [[Ostrava]], [[Bratislava]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|59}}{{E|65}} <br />+ south towards [[České Budějovice]], [[Linz]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|3}}{{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|3}}{{E|55}} ===
It's good to 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 ====
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]] {{rczDcz|4}} ===
From Smíchovské nádraží (subway line B) take bus 129, 241, 243, 244, 314 or 318 to the stop Malá Chuchle. It's a request stop so press the button. There you can easily hitchhike. Usually very short waiting on Friday afternoons when many people go out from Prague.
=== West towards [[Karlovy Vary]], [[Cheb]] {{rczDcz|6}}{{E|48}} ===
This is good option for Karlovy Vary direction. Take tram 22 to Bílá Hora. Go straight in the street Karlovarská and there is quite good place to hitch-hike behind the red-white banister.
If you prefer petrol stations, try this option. The first one is quite far though (30 km from Prague center) - take a bus from Praha-Hradčanská (Metro ''Dejvická'') to ''Velká Dobrá, u skoly''. Once there follow the direction of the bus and turn first left (Unhošťská street), than second right (Lesní street) and after 200 m you should see the highway and the petrol station on your right.
=== Northwest towards [[Kladno]], [[Chomutov]], [[Chemnitz]] {{rczDcz|7}} ===
From Dejvická (subway line A) take bus 119 to Dědina. There you can hitchhike. You can also try another bus stop on Evropská road e.g. Divoká Šárka but probably further is better.
