'''Bratislava''' is the capital of [[Slovakia]]. == Hitchhiking out Hitching in ==<map lat === From [[Žilina]] === If you are coming on the motorway from the north-east but your driver is continuing to Hungary or Austria, ask him to leave you at the Slovnaft gas station in ''Zlaté Piesky'' before the airport and the city centre. Jump over the fence in the southwest part of the gas station area (there is a hole), walk across the field to the other road, follow the sign "Center" and after one or two kilometers you will reach the last stop of tram 2 and 4. Alternatively, you can ask your driver to drop you near ''Aupark shopping centre'', but they need to exit highway right after crossing ''Prístavný most''48.131348836914204Getting 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'' lngin 5 minutes with public transport. === From [[Brno]] === Whatever you do, '17''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.14141845703125There is a lot of construction work going on here and most sidewalks aren't finished yet, there are no signs and it' zooms 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 == If you are just passing by the city (e.g. going from Prague to Budapest) avoid at all costs being dropped at a gas station in the city by a driver going into Bratislava. The road splits inside the city, the motorway is in the middle and the local traffic goes on a side road. Because of a wall there is no direct access from the city streets and the gas stations are not on the motorway. If you end up being dropped inside the city somewhere, you must follow the Hitchwiki advice to reach another spot or spend the night in Bratislava. == Hitching out == === North towards [[Brno]], [[Prague]] (D2) {{European Route Number|65}} === [[File:hhtobrno.jpg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking in direction to Brno.'11' view]] ==== Lamač gas station ==== In the north of the city there is a small service station at the motorway going north to Brno. It's not a great spot, but it gets the job done. If it's been a while and you still haven't found a ride, try asking people for "Sekule" - this is the last gas station before the Czech border, so everyone stops here to get vignettes (highway stickers). There are two options how to get there: Get off at bus stop called '0' floatHúščavova''. The bus stop is directly after the bus turns left and crosses the highway over a bridge. You need to indicate that you want to get off the bus at this station. In the worst case though, you can get off at the next stop ''Lipského'' and walk a bit more. When you leave the bus just walk back over the bridge and turn left and walk to the next traffic light to the station. Or get off at bus stop called ''Pridánky''. You need to indicate that you want to get off the bus. Once you leave the bus, the service station is very close but not visible. Follow the direction in which the bus continues for 100 meters and you will see the exit of the highway and the service station on your left. ==== Mokrohájska ==== Go to a bus stop called ''Mokrohájska'', the bus stop is on city road in Brno direction but it's not yet a highway. You can try hitch hiking directly 'behind' the bus stop, there'rights enough for car to stop or continue walking in the same direction the bus was going, about 300 meters further there's a large OMV gas station, McDonald'/>s and non-stop Tesco shopping mall. You also can try to hitchhike on traffic lights nearby.

Take a tram 2 or 4 east to the last stop called ''Zlaté Piesky'First option :''' There is a gas station directly on the highway D1 in Bratislava. It's near the AVION shopping park.
