'''Brno''' is the second largest city in the [[Czech Republic]].
=== From [[Prague]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
 If your driver is not going to the city but continuing continue on this motorway, you can ask him to leave the motorway at the Vienna exit, and turn right onto a smaller road after 150&nbsp;m. This road then leads under the large street ''Vídeňská'', where there is a tram stop. The driver can drive on to a roundabout and easily get back onto the D1.
At the Bratislava exit there is a shopping centre Avion with a free bus to the city centre. The driver can easily get back onto the D1 too by driving about 2&nbsp;km.
If driver is going toward Vienna or Bratislava it's quite clear where to get off.
=== From [[Vienna]], [[Bratislava]] {{Rcz|52}}{{European Route Number|461}} ===If your driver is not going into Brno, ask him/her to drop you off at the "Futurum" shopping centre on the motorway. There you will find a free bus to central Brno.
=== From [[Bratislava]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|2}}{{E|65}} ===If your driver is not going into Brno, ask him/her to drop you can jump off either at the "Olympia" or "Avion" shopping centre on the motorway. There From both you will find a free bus to central Brno.
== Hitching out ==
 
=== Northwest towards [[Jihlava]], [[Praha]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
==== First option ===== 
This spot is quickly and easily accessible from various parts of Brno with hitchability from average to good. Find trolley-bus 25, 26 or 29 and get off at stop "Čtvrtě". From the bridge you can see big road to Prague. Go down and after 200 m there is smaller petrol station. Next to it is great place to hitchhike just a few metres from pump machines where you can ask people. Unfortunately on this lane often parks some truck or two so you can only hitchhike cars leaving station or ask.
==== Third option ====
 
Small petrol station OMV on the motorway near Bosonohy - almost without cars. To Bosonohy, bus stop "Hoštická" you can get by bus 69 (from Masaryk's University campus, or trams 6, 8 stop "Dunajská"). Then go little bit back to the main road and right. After 1,5 km you will see that station. Or from "Dunajská" you can go by bus 401 or 402 (you have to pay the driver; once an hour) to request stop "Tranzitní plynovod". Just few metres back and right is that petrol station.
=== South towards [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|2}}{{E|65}} ===
 
==== First option ====
Take bus number 67, or the free "Avion bus" (it goes from 9am till 10pm every 20/30 minute) that starts on the bus stop "Úzká", and get off at the commercial zone “Avion”. There is a petrol station (where you can shower and even sleep) along the motorway which is going to [[Slovakia]]. It's a big commercial zone with big shops. One of them has free internet access, it's the electrical shop before Ikea.
This isn't the great spot, but there just isn't any better, so don't expect any miracles. [[User:Ondercan|Ondercan]] would say that the average waiting time is close to 2h and there's always a lot of local traffic near this mall. The petrol station is on the parallel road to the highway that goes directly to Bratislava so there aren't actually many cars going to Bratislava but mostly local people stopping by after shopping. Also it's almost impossible to hitchhike from the exit of Avion too, Ondercan stood there more than 2h with a sign with no success. In total Ondercan waited there more than 5h, when deciding to go back and take the train. While hopping the train it's important to remember that tickets are controlled twice, both after getting in the train and after entering Slovakia.
==== Second Option ====
 
This is probably a much better one than the first option. Take bus 40, 48, 59, 67 or the free "Avion bus" and get off at Hněvkovského. Walk 450m in the direction the bus was going (if you took the bus from the city center). After passing a crossroads with traffic lights, you will see a gas station. Now you can choose whether you approach people that stop at the gas station or stand at the beginning of the fairly long driveway to it.
=== South towards [[Vienna]] {{rcz|52}}{{E|461}} ===
==== First option ====Take the free bus from behind Tesco, at the tram 2 stop ''Ořechovská'', to the shopping center (''obchodni centrum'') Futurum. Once you are at at the shopping center Futurum, you will find a Tesco gas station, but most of the people there are just staying in town. So, From here you can walk south a couple of kilometres or use tram 2 to a Unicorn petrol stationsecond spot. You can hitch with  ==== Second option ====Take a (big!) sign reading tram 2 to the stop "WienModřice, Tyršova" or "Mikulov", . And walk little bit back near the last city in the Czech Republic before the borderUnicorn petrol station. Cars are going very fast here, however, and don't have much room to stop, so you might try alternating between thumbing on the road and asking drivers who stop at the Unicorn station.!!! ATTENTION!!!As for august 2014 the tram number 2 is not going this way due to some construction!!! The situation might be back as before, so ask the locals or the drivers.You need to take the tram 2X which should be longer and then it will drop you at the good spot. You can change from 2 to 2x at the stop Vsetinskà.The best would be to go to the stop named: Modřice, Tyršova. Where you just have 400m to the petrol station on the main road to Vienna.Other ==== Third option:====There is a nice spot for hitchhiking just next to the tram spot 2 stop "Ústřední hřbitov (2x at the moment (08.14) " where you can hhike hitch south to Vienna or just to the next petrol station. When you get off the tram just go on the main street and then turn right 100m and you will find a nice place to stop cars. Keep in mind that this spot is not on the main road so there's a litle smaller trafic.
=== Northeast towards [[Prostějov]], [[Olomouc]], [[Ostrava]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|462}} <br />+ east towards [[Kroměříž]], [[Zlín]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}} <br />+ east towards [[Uherské Hradiště]], [[Trenčín]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|50}}{{E|50}} ===
 
==== First option ====
Take tram number 8 to station "Krásného", from the station go to the overbridge. To Olomouc you will stay over head 30 minutes.
==== Second option ====
Take the trolleybus number 33 from the railway station (Hlavní nádraží) to the station "Langrova " (it takes 13 minutes). Cross the street and go up the street Slavkovská, after two minutes you come to a main road which you also cross and continue on a footpath straight for another 50 meters to a petrol station which already lies on a highway.
==== Third option ====
Best spot (for D1 only): From the stop Úzká (next to the big Tesco close to train station) or bus station "Zvonařka " take bus 402 602 or 702 to "Jiříkovice, motorest Rohlenka " (about 20min). Cross the street and you are at a huge petrol station (with KFC, McD, etc.) which is outside of Brno right at D1. Lot of drivers to Olomouc and Ostrava.  <nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki>I couldn't find bus number 402 and it is better to ask about Rohlenka than Jirikovice ( if you ask people on the street, drivers). Be carefull, the pronounciation of Jirikovice changes meaning. I took bus 702 from bus stop autobusowe nadrazi near main bus station. I recomend you this petrol station. You can catch someone even directly to Poland.
=== North towards [[Pardubice]], [[Hradec Králové]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|43}}{{E|461}} ===
At the highway connection near tram 1 stop "Tylova".<br />
Both spots are probably better than Second option spot. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Brno&action=edit&section=11 Add more specific info please]
