=== South East towards [[Giurgiu]], [[Ruse]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Istanbul]] ===
In October 2008 [[User:Guaka|guaka]] quickly got a ride straight to [[Istanbul]] at a truck rest stop [http://maps.google.com/?q=bucuresti&ie=UTF8&ll=44.435718,25.964658&spn=0.002896,0.006191&t=h&z=17&iwloc=addr close to where the E70 takes a right turn]. The guy working there at the time was from Bulgaria and if he's there any knowledge of the Russian language will come in handy. You can probably also find rides the other direction of the E70.

'''Bucharest''' (Romanian: '''Bucureşti''') is the capital of [[Romania]].
== Hitching Out in and around == Bucharest has a ring road completely surrounding the city, which means that hitchhikers can accept a lift to Bucharest and then go further without having to enter the city center and then hitch out again. Southbound travelers headed for [[Istanbul]] might want to stop at a truck rest stop [http://maps.google.com/?q=bucuresti&ie=UTF8&ll=44.435718,25.964658&spn=0.002896,0.006191&t=h&z=17&iwloc=addr close to where the E70 takes a right turn], where one can possibly find a lift straight there. == Hitching out ===== West towards [[SibiuTransylvania]], [[Serbia]], [[Belgrade]] (E81) ===
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!).
From ''Pacii'' you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says ''Carrefour'' and go all the way to ''Carrefour'' shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway. There's a part where the fence is broken and you can access the motorway here - it's actually a very good spot to hitch, since traffic coming from the big shopping centre stops here.
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 [[SofiaGiurgiu]], [[Bulgaria]] , [[Turkey]] (E85) ===
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) ===
