Hitching Out
West towards Sibiu, Serbia, Belgrade
Get the metro to Pacii (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at Gare Du Nord again!). From Pacii you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says Carrefour and go all the way to Carrefour shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway. There's a part where the fence is broken and you can access the motorway here - it's actually a very good spot to hitch, since traffic coming from the big shopping centre stops here.
South towards Sofia, Bulgaria
Take the M2 metro in direction of IMGB. Get off at Eroi Revolutie and look for the City Mall, walk towards it and you will see that the road forks. Take the right fork, the road will be called Giurgiului. Just after the city mall, there's a tram ticket office. Get a ticket (1.2 Lei as of April 2009), and walk a bit more on the road to get to the tram stop. It's right in the middle of the road. Take tram #25 to the last stop. Then walk down the road for 5 minutes and you will reach a service station on the right hand. You can ask people here or stop cars passing on the main road.
South East towards Giurgiu, Ruse, Bulgaria, Istanbul
In October 2008 guaka quickly got a ride straight to Istanbul at a truck rest stop close to where the E70 takes a right turn. The guy working there at the time was from Bulgaria and if he's there any knowledge of the Russian language will come in handy. You can probably also find rides the other direction of the E70.
Northeast towards Urziceni, Buzau, Braila, Galaţi (E85)
Take the metro to Piaţa Obor, then from there take tram #21 north to the last stop. The tram will turn off the main road into its terminus station, but after getting out of the tram continue walking straight on the main road. You will come to a bridge after a large market called Europa. Hitchhiking here is possible, but you will have to compete with other people who are standing alongside the road to flag down minibuses. A better option is to continue walking north for about three kilometers until after the Bucharest ring road, where all cars going northeast are isolated.
