'''Prague''' (''Praha'') is the capital of the [[Czech Republic]].
Writing a sign "PRAHA" clearly informs a driver that you are going to Prague
== Hitching out ==
=== NorthEast towards [[Hradec Králové]], [[Pardubice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Dcz|11}}{{E|67}} === ==== Option 1: Motorway service station on D11 ==== Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. From here, take bus 221, 303, 304, 344, 353, or 398 to the bus-Eaststop ''Na Kovárně''. Walk east along Náchodská ≈600m to the junction with Bořetická. Turn right on Bořetická and walk 1.2km to just over the motorway bridge. Take the path to the right here into the service station. There usually isn't very much traffic, but waiting times are likely to be short. If you get lost ask anyone for "Hummer Garden" (the place only for Hummers) which is just behind the station. ==== Option 2: K+R (Parking Area) Černý Most ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is the K+R (Park & Ride) to the right (east) of the station which is popular with hitchhikers and possibly a better choice than option 1. It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions, e.g. "HK" (Hradec Králové) or "PL" (if going to Náchod and Poland).The disadvantage of this option is that there are only cars traveling out of Prague and not those coming from Prague ring road. However, there is no non-freeway solution to get a lift for those cars. === Northeast towards [[Mlada Mladá Boleslav]], [[Liberec]], [[GoerlicGörlitz]] {{Dcz|10}}{{E|65}} ===You can hitch from a gas [[File:Stop_hk.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Dj-bobr at the beginning of D11 Highway.]] ==== Option 1: Motorway service station on the E65. ====Take the metro line B (yellow) to the last station, Cerny ''Černý Most''. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop called ''Do CertousČertous''. When you get off the bus , the gas petrol station is behind the big orange building with "H1" on it. ==== Option 2: K+R (Parking) Černý Most ====Take metro line B (yellow) to the end station ''Černý most''. There is the K+R (Park & Ride) to the right (east) of the station. Lots of hitchhikers use this place. Use a sign "MB" (Mladá Boleslav) or "LB" (Liberec). It's necessary to use a sign because the road splits in many directions. Due to the construction of sections of the Prague Ring (R1), long-distance traffic is lower each day; however, this spot is still usable. === Northwest towards [[Ústí nad Labem]], [[Teplice]], [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] {{Dcz|8}}{{E|55}} === If you are passing through Dresden, take a look at the [[Dresden]] hitchwiki page. From either of the spots you can take rides to OMV petrol station before Lovosice or to the Agip petrol station after Ústí nad Labem. The hitchhiking positions there are also good. ==== Option 1: D8 ==== Take metro line C (red) to ''Holešovice''. From here, take bus 201 to ''Vychovatelna'' (3 stops). You will find a great spot with lots of traffic still going slow right at the bus station. The author had not noted that there are three lanes on this road, and the two inside lanes take the cars to Dresden. The bus lane of course is great and the cars are not going too fast, but anyone going to Dresden on this road would need to cut across a few car lanes to come pick you up. Quite possible but there are better options than this. ==== Option 2: OMV petrol station / Mcdonalds on D8==== Option 1 walking Take metro line C (red) to ''Letňany''. Keep walking northwest along Tupolevova for 500 m, crossing over Beranovych to the pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights. Cross Tupolevova here and keep heading southwest on the pathway leading onto Opocenska. Walk ≈250 m along Opocenska and you will see a small footpath to the right (before the pedestrian/cycle bridge over the highway) heading straight to the OMV petrol station (≈150 m walk).
===West towards [[Plzeň]], [[Klatovy]], [[Nürnberg]], [[München]] {{Dcz|5}}{{E|50}}= Third option ====Use the third option, if you don't want to go with so many buses. Just take the red metro line (C) to the terminal station Letňany and then walk from there to the spot marked by Fatidik. It is 300m walking from there. Walk to the street Tupolevova and at the first crossing left into the Beranovych until the end, then right and straight until you see a small walking path leading you to the service station. There are not so many cars and you may wait a little long if you are two male hitchers.
=== West, towards [[Plzen]], [[Nürnberg]] = Option 1: Rozvadovská spojka ====From metro Zlicin (line B, yellow), take bus nr 380 or 308 to Rudna. The village main road goes straight through it. Stop around the center of the village. You'll see the motorway passing as a bridge on your right. It's about 5-10 min walking to the petrol station. Avoid going into Plzen or getting dropped off on the bypass. It's better to try to find a direct ride to [[Germany]] from the last petrol station before Plzen.
Take metro line B (yellow) to '''Another option'Nové Butovice''. Then take bus 184 (direction Hradčanská) or bus 174 (direction Vypich) and get off at the second stop:From metro "ZlicinŠafránkova" . (line BThe stop is a request stop, yellowso it means that you have to push the button in the bus to stop it) go the . Cross over the crossroad on traffic lights, there's a bridge before road (under the bridge are railwaysBucharova), so and walk on the traffic light and stand right on south 200m to the triangle, you can catch cars from both ways, they are going slowly thereslip road, and there's also a place continue to stop. Wee been waiting for 10 minutes there. look the hitching point on the picture for details: [http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7165/topilsenRozvadovská spojka as described above.jpg nice spot]
