Maybe better Another option is to use K+R place near Cerny Most metro station(the same for going to Hradec Kralove), lots of hitchhikers use this place. Disadvantage is that there are only cars travelling out of Prague - not those going from Prague ring road. But there is no non-freeway solution how to pick up those cars. My personal experience Use sign MB (dj-bobrMlada Boleslav) for east way (Hradec Kralove, Poland) is that you can try to hitchhike at the beginning of D11 Highway LB (50.098664 N, 14.597708 ELiberec). It's a motorwaynecessary to use the sign, but police don't care, if you stand safe at the shoulderbecause cars are there going to many directions.
=== East, towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wroclaw]] ===
From Cerny most, the last station of B-line metro(yellow) take bus to station Na Kovárně(221, 303, 304, 344, 353, 398), it is about 10 minutes ride and probably you are going to pay few crounds, but not much. Hundred metres behind 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. It is about 1,5 km, but I think it is the best hitch spot on this direction. There usuall isn´t too many cars, but I´v never been there more than half an hour. If you get lost ask anyone about "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station (road E67).

== Hitchhiking out ==
A lot of Czech people don't speak English. (You can try German.) The Czech word for petrol station is "Benzinka". This might come in handy. (MF)
An abbreviation '''PHA''' written on your sign clearly informs a driver that you go to Prague.

You can hitch from a gas station on the E65. Take the metro line B (yellow) to the last station, Cerny Most. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop called Do Certous. When you get off the bus the gas station is behind the big orange building with "H1" on it.
=== North, North-West, towards [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] ===
'''Another option''':
From metro "Zlicin" (line B, yellow) go the the crossroad on traffic lights, there's a bridge before (under the bridge are railways), so walk on the traffic light and stand right on the triangle, you can catch cars from both ways, they are going slowly there, and there's also a place to stop. We have been waiting there for 10 minutes. Look at the picture for details: [http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7165/topilsen.jpg nice spot]
=== South-east, towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] (D1 highway)===
== Public transport ==
'''Always have a valid ticket when travelling by metro!''', unless you look like a Czech! Tourists are the biggest source of income for DPP (Prague public trans.), so the controllers are first to check those, who do not look like Czech citizens. The fine is 700 Kč (30 euro), so better buy a ticket or travel by tram/bus. If you plan to stay longer, you can buy a ticket for one, three or five days that costs 100, 330 or 500 CZK.
On metro stations you can find maps of Prague with public transport, this can be useful, because the lines are changing (especially bus lines).
