'''SuwalkiSuwałki''' is a city on North-East in northeast [[Poland]] along the [[E67]]"Via Baltica" highway. You will most likely have to pass it on your way from Europe to It is a major transit point between the Baltics Baltic countries and Poland and vice versa. It is the last major settlement before the [[Lithuania]]n border.
==Hitching Out=====North towards [[Baltics]] ([[Lithuania]])=Hitchhiking out ==When arriving from [[Augustow]], if driver doesn't go any further than Suwalki, a great spot to get out is immediately at the beginning of town. At the first roundabout, ''all'' traffic for Lithuania is taking the first exit, which is followed by a huge bus stop immediately. A sign (''LT'') helps miraculous and you should usually catch rides to [[Kaunas]] or further here easily. This spot is also perfect for night-hitchhiking. There's a gas station as well for the communicative hitchhiker, but it is definitely worth hitchhiking at the bus stop as ''all'' traffic coming from the South passes here.
It could be also an idea === North towards [[Lithuania]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===From the PKS bus station, walk north about 1km along Utrata street (highway 8 (E67)) till the roundabout. The highway 8 turns right here on Gen. Kazimierza Pułaskiego, so take the right turn and continue straight for 2kms until you are almost out of town. You can hitch at the junction of Knuta Olafa Falka street (opposite the Oil Transfer petrol station). There is a hard shoulder here just wide enough for cars but not trucks; however, traffic is moving reasonably slowly to make it a good enough place to hitch . If you are arriving from [[Augustów]] and you are dropped off at the end beginning of town at where the two-lane bypass roadsplits off, though traffic there is much faster there already a large lay-by just past the roundabout where you can hitch and where cars can pull over. ([[User: Drumroots|Drumroots]] even had a truck just about squeeze into the author of this article currently has no idea if there lay-by to give him a lift). The road enters Lithuania at the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border crossing]] (about 25kms from Suwałki) where long-distance rides further into the Baltic countries are any good spots for hitchhikingpossible. ===South towards [[Augustów|Augustow]], [[WarszawaWarsaw]]{{European Route Number|67}} ===At From the PKS bus station, walk south on highway 8 (E67) along Utrata street for about 4.3kms until you reach the end roundabout at the southern edge of town, at already described . Hitch on the highway about 60m after the exit from the roundabout. Otherwise, there's some space to stop cars going south, but not much to no traffic light available, depending on is a large Orlens petrol station at the spot/visibility roundabout if you want to choose when hitchhiking ask drivers (or if you get caught in the rain/ at night){{IsIn|Podlaskie (Voivodeship)}}
