== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Transylvania]], [[Serbia]] (E81) {{European Route Number|81}} ===
Get the metro to ''Pacii'' (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at ''Gare Du Nord'' again!).
The Transylvanian road runs through [[Sibiu]] and [[Cluj-Napoca]]. This is the standard route for central and western Transylvania, the other route through Brasov is a "scenic" journey that takes longer.
=== South towards [[Giurgiu]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Turkey]] (E85) {{European Route Number|85}} ===
Take the M2 metro in direction of ''IMGB''. Get off at ''Eroi Revolutie'' and look for the ''City Mall'', walk towards it and you will see that the road forks. Take the right fork, the road will be called ''Giurgiului''. Just after the city mall, there's a tram ticket office. Get a ticket (1.2 Lei as of April 2009), and walk a bit more on the road to get to the tram stop. It's right in the middle of the road. Take tram #25 to the last stop. Then walk down the road for 5 minutes and you will reach a service station on the right hand. You can ask people here or stop cars passing on the main road.
=== Northeast towards Urziceni, [[Buzau]], [[Braila]], [[Galaţi]] (E85) {{European Route Number|85}} ===
Take the metro to Piaţa Obor, then from there take tram #21 north to the last stop. The tram will turn off the main road into its terminus station, but after getting out of the tram continue walking straight on the main road. You will come to a bridge after a large market called ''Europa''. Hitchhiking here is possible, but you will have to compete with other people who are standing alongside the road to flag down minibuses. A better option is to continue walking north for about three kilometers until after the Bucharest ring road, where all cars going northeast are isolated.
