* Alternatively get a bus from the center to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses), this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border checkpoint]] or further. Be aware that the border is now virtually non-existent, except for an occasional random check, so try to get a ride to at least [[Suwałki|Suwalki]] or [[Augustów|Augustow]].

=== West towards [[Klaipėda|Klaipeda]], North towards [[Latvia]] ===* Heading for [[Latvia]] you want to get on the [[Klaipėda|Klaipeda]] road (the A1) and then turn onto the via Baltica (the A8). You can accept rides going to the split (20km) and then hitch past the split. From the split it should not take you more than 10min to get a ride. Whatever you do, try not to get dropped off on the [[Panevėžys]] ring. [[Garthelgard]] got stuck there for more than 4 hours.
