===East towards [[Ljubljana]], [[Trieste]]===
1. The most popular to hitchhike in Koper is at Vinakoper, the local winery (Šmarska cesta 1), which is next to the entrance to the highwaymotorway. You can either hitchhike in front of the entrance to the parking lot of the building at the traffic lights or in front of the highway motorway sign. The first option is better if you want to have a safe place where drivers can pull over and you can talk to them. The advantages of the second opinion is that all of the cars you see are going to the highway motorway and people still stop even though there's no place to pull over but then you have to get in fast.
Use signs LJ or Trieste. You can also catch rides directly to Austria or Zagreb so an idea might be also to use two signs or something like Zagreb via LJ or if you're going further to Italy just write Italia. People have hitched directly to Venice from here! Waiting time is normally 15-45 minutes.
2. Another place within a walking distance (check the map): You know you're there if you are standing on a bus stop and you can see a yellow sign that says 'Ljubljana-left', 'Olmo-straight', 'some street-right'. If you want to get to [[Trieste]] it's better to have a sign because most of the cars are going towards [[Ljubljana]]. You can also ask for a ride to the first or second petrol station on the highway motorway and ask drivers who stop there to give you a lift (it worked for us once, when it was really late). This spot is well lit so it's doable to hitch hike from there after dark.
===West towards [[Izola]], [[Portoroz]]===
