* '''Option 2''' Take the trolleybus 11, 16 (goes from main station) or 19 direction ''Pašilaičiai'' and leave it on the last bus stop ''Pašilaičių žiedas'' (point A on the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Laisv%C4%97s+prospektas&daddr=Ukmerg%C4%97s+gatv%C4%97&hl=ru&geocode=FesQQwMdBAqBAQ%3BFVxHQwMd4-iAAQ&mra=ls&dirflg=w&sll=54.731039,25.23169&sspn=0.014248,0.052314&ie=UTF8&ll=54.732798,25.236712&spn=0.028496,0.104628&t=h&z=14 map]) and walk around 20 minutes by foot following the route on the map until you will reach point B. Cars don't go fast here because of the lights and there's enough place for car to stop.
=== West towards [[Warsaw]] ([[Poland]]), [[Kaunas]], [[Klaipėda]], [[Alytus]], [[Marijampolė]] ===
There are two places in Vilnius offering you a good possibility to get a ride towards Poland. Remember that in order to get to Poland you need first head towards Kaunas - it is a quicker and better way (other possibilities include hitching via [[Alytus]] ([http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=vilnius&daddr=alytus+to:sejny&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=54.399748,24.312744&sspn=1.646814,3.537598&ie=UTF8&ll=54.399645,24.31346&spn=3.293822,7.075195&z=7 map]) or via [[Trakai]] and [[Prienai]] ([http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=vilnius&daddr=trakai+to:marijampol%C4%97+to:Suwalki&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=53.569676,25.872803&sspn=1.67996,3.537598&ie=UTF8&ll=54.482805,23.873291&spn=3.287153,7.075195&z=7 map]) - it is not recommended to take these routes simply because these are very local roads with low traffic).
The second spot is situated at the end of Savanorių avenue (see the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=Vilnius,+Lithuania&daddr=54.643744,25.203581&hl=en&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=14&sll=54.642453,25.203323&sspn=0.025579,0.055275&ie=UTF8&ll=54.654769,25.227356&spn=0.102285,0.2211&z=12 map], picture on the right), many buses and trolleybuses go there - it is easy to get there but the waiting time can be longer in comparison with the first described spot - it is mostly because of 2 reasons: less traffic towards Kaunas (since it is a road towards Alytus and Trakai, too), and competition (there wouldn't be a day without some local short-distance hitch-hiker standing and thumbing there).
* [[User:tomasmarc]] says: the road to Poland through Kaunas doesn't seem to be the best to me, due to difficulties while leaving Kaunas when you arrive there and a detour that you make. The road through [[Marijampolė]] is used by most trucks and the road through Alytus by most cars that go from Vilnius to Warsaw/Western Europe. Both roads can be reached by bus 51, which goes from ''Vaduvos'' stop (the same spot at the end of Savanorių avenue): go with it until the stop ''Trakų Vokė'', get off, walk to EMSI gas station. From here, roads split: the one on the left leads to Trakai and Marijampolė, the one on the right goes towards Alytus.
