}}__TOC__'''Czechia''', officially ''Czech Republic''' (Czech: ''Česká republika'' or ''Česko'') is a country in [[Europe]], bordering on [[Austria]], [[Germany]], [[Poland]] and [[Slovakia]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] as well as the [[Schengen Agreement]].

In past many people used to hitchhike so you get a lift usually quite fast. Hitchhiking on normal roads works very well so if possible try to avoid going by highways. In Czechia there is very many gas stations on the highway which means that there aren't that many cars on any of them which can make gas station hitchhiking bit annoying. If you wanna just pass Prague it is not very easy as most people on the highways go only there and no further so instead of getting stuck on a gas station before Prague it can be faster and less frustrating to get droped in Prague and get to a highway on which you wanna continue.For driving on a highway one needs to have a vignette. Most people have it but some people who don't drive often far don't have one so you can get sometimes a longer lift by those people also on small roads parallel to a highway but as mentioned before most people have it. '''Hitchhiking directly on highways motorways and motorways expressways is not allowed'''; pedestrians are not permitted to walk on these roads for safety reasons. Thus hitchhiking typically involves standing on onramps or at petrol stations on the motorway. While it is not suggested that one hitchhike on highways or motorways, actual confrontations with police are rare, and in the unlikely event that a police car does stop, it is best to be polite and feign ignorance of the rules, and they will usually not give you a fine.

Public transport is generally not too expensive with buses being faster and cheaper than trains. Use this very convenient [[http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/vlakyautobusymhdvse/spojeni/ ?lng=E search engine]] for public transport in the entire CR.
