→Hungarian Border
Alternatively, you can ask your driver to drop you near ''Aupark shopping centre'', but they need to exit highway right after crossing ''Prístavný most''. Getting back on highway is very easy for them. This place is much more closer to centre than previous one, you can get to ''Hodžovo námestie'' in 5 minutes with public transport.

Whatever you do, '''do NOT get dropped off at Bory Mall'''. It is a big shopping mall with (at most) local traffic and the gas stations are incredibly hard to reach, it is also incredibly far from the city centre. There is a lot of construction work going on here and most sidewalks aren't finished yet, there are no signs and it's easy to get lost. Some drivers will offer to drop you off here, thinking that there is a lot of traffic because of the nearby Volkswagen factory. This is wrong.
If you're on the [[E65]], it might be a better idea to jump out somewhere close to the zoo.
== Hitching around ==
Signs will be useful here and, unlike in Vysehradska, all traffic will be headed to Hungary (duh!) - getting a ride to Budapest will be a piece of cake. You can also approach people on either side of the border as they're getting the Hungarian vignette (highway toll) - the shops are located in the old customs buildings.
''My experience was that not many people stop to get the vignette here, only truck drivers and they are skeptical of hitchhikers. Surprisingly, many of them don't go to Budapest at all and I got offered a couple of weird rides, like Croatia. I found a ride to Budapest after an hour. - Rebew (28.07.2021)''
