[[File:Donraspunicum.jpeg|right|thumb|150px|[[User:Kristian|Kristian]] hitchhiking towards [[Čačak]] in Belgrade (2013)]]
There are 2 ways to Sarajevo, one through Čačak-Uzice, a bit south, the other one more direct but not written on online maps... The one through Čačak worked well for us. Take the bus 53 from the green open market called "Zelena pijaca" (the stop is called ''Zeleni venac'') in the center, to the last station(''Vidikovac''). Then just follow the street for one minute, turn right, here is the exit to the motorway, climb up the bridge and try to hitchhike there, there is some place for cars to pull over, but in Serbia when they want to stop the car the dont really need a proper place ;). It seems that buses 531, 532, 533 go further, but it's not really needed, and they might be regional buses. Use signs ČA and/or UE (ČaČak-Uzice).[[User:P40fA|Jan]] hitched a ride to Čačak in Sep 2018 here in ten minutes.
This way through Čačak-Uzice is not the fastest but in t0ma5´s opinion very interesting, it will take you 6-7 hours to reach Sarajevo and before leaving Serbia you will pass near by GuČa, where a crazy Balkan music festival takes place every summer and just before the Bosnian border is Mokra Gora, the ethno village that the filmmaker Kusturica made for his movie, Life is a Miracle, you can visit it in few hours if you have the times but there is entrance fee.
After Uzice there is not much traffic going to Bosnia since after the border and before Sarajevo there is not any big city, so if you get a ride the driver will probably take u all the way to Sarajevo :)
This route is also useful to get to Montenegro - just use the ''Montenegro'' or ''MNE'' sign after you get out of Belgrade. The drivers usually go through Nova Varoš and Bijelo Polje.

* [[User:Luelle]] Another option if you don't want to ride a bus for so long: Take the 95 Bus from the city center to New Belgrade and exit at the station called Sava Center. It stops directly passed a bridge that is over the highway. Exit the bus and walk towards the bridge, you will see a petrol station on the highway to the right which is the direction Novi Sad/ Budapest. This a petrol station which you can use to get a short ride out of the city. Finding a long ride is pretty unlikely from this point since its mostly local traffic. Beware: Bring some cardboard with you. There isn't anything around.
* [[User:schlaraffenkind]] I found a different and much easier way to hitchhike out of Belgrade. Take the Bus 601 from New Belgrade to the bus station "Tošin bunar". From Tošin bunar take bus 611 to the station "Zmaj". It stops right in front of a petrol station which is also called (Benzinska stanica NIS Petrol) "Zmaj" (2 stops from Tošin bunar but it's also so obvious, it will be hard to miss). It's outside of the city and on the E-70 motorway. The motorway that leads straight to Zagreb and is right before the junction that leads to Budapest. Definitely try this route if you are in doubt about the others. I got a ride within 5 minutes towards Novi Sad and then just before Novi Sad another one to the border with Hungary.

It is possible to take the underground or train to the station zemun that goes to batajnica every hour and seems to be free :), from there walk 600 to the service station with McDonald's. I got a ride there after 1 hour.
