Варшаўскі мост, rus. Варшавский мост) – the biggest crossing point located on [[E30]] near [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]]. Crossing is possible only in a vehicle. Opposite to what you could guess, the crossing is hassle free and the police not more unfriendly than elsewhere. Prepare yourself for long waiting time, if there is a lot of traffic, even very long waiting time. Even when there are just two or three cars in front of you, you can find yourself waiting for several hours.

Дамачава, rus. Домачево) – vehicular crossing located some 40 kilometres south of Brest.

You can walk across this border and it's probably best to do so as the lines of trucks and cars are really long. The border police is actually pretty nice! After you crossed the border to [[Lithuania]] it's only 33 kms to the capital [[Vilnius]]. After the border crossing the main road goes straight to [[Vilnius]] but, as the border takes some time for cars, and even more for trucks, you'll probably won't see that much moving traffic while hitchhiking.

Your bag might be searched at this bordercrossing.

There are no official bordercrossings between Belarus and Russia. It is not a good idea though to cross the border without the right visa!

When coming from [[Kyiv]] you'll probably cross the border [[Skytok-Novaja Huta border crossing]]. It is possible to walk across this border but it will take a while as they search all your stuff on the Ukrainian side. After the Ukrainian border police there is approx. 1 km of No Man's land after which you'll reach the Belarusian side. Make sure you have a visa if you need one! Very little English is spoken.

The road after the border goes straight to [[Homiel]]
