==To Hitching Out==<map lat='54.895564790773385' lng='23.87744873046875' zoom='10' view='0' float='right'/>==East towards Vilnius==
When going to [[Vilnius]] you take a bus to the highway. There is a bus stop (look below) on the highway where it's possible to get rides, but it might also be a good idea to not deal with the hitchhiking competition and place yourself at the entrance of the highway.
Quite far away from [[Vilnius ]] there is a huge ''hypermarket'' next to the highway with a free bus to the centre.
===South towards [[Image:Kns_to_vln.JPG|thumb|right|300pxPoland]] ==To Poland, North towards [[Latvia ]] or West towards [[Klaipeda ]]===*When going to [[Poland]] you take a bus <!-- ... which one I forgot --> to the end of the route. Make sure you make it to the Polish border. From there you will easily find a long ride.[[Image:Kns_to_vln.JPG|thumb|left|250px|Along the road towards [[Vilnius]]]]*Alternatively get a bus from the centre to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses) , this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the border. Note that this border is *very* slow for trucks to cross and theres always about a 2 hour delay, so when the truck stops, get out and walk (or try to hitch a normal car) to the border, just after the polish side theres plenty of room for anyone to stop. *Heading for [[Latvia ]] this road also goes to [[Klaipeda]], so if you just hitch signless the road that branches off to [[Klaipeda ]] is about 20km from here, so you're not sure where you'll end up.
Note, that this spot is usually quite busy for hitching - last time I was here there was 16! people also hitching, so holding a sign to your destination will make things faster.
