== Public Transport == === Minibus to Polish border ===
Not exactly hitching, but you You can get a marshrutka (minibus) from the train station going Western Bus Station to the closest Polish border point, the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]], which is not far from [[Przemyśl]] in Poland and it is allowed to cross on foot. This minibus costs 25 around 80 UAH as of September 2014(no credit card, year 2020). Look or ask for one that says to ''Lviv - Shegyni'' (Львів-Шегині).
Lviv
,This direction leads to the [[Hrebenne-Rava Ruska border crossing]].
=== West towards [[Przemyśl]], [[Rzeszów]], [[Kraków]], [[Germany]] ===
If you want to hitch towards Rzeszów and anywhere far away, you have at least two options. <br>
Both the [[Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing]] and the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]] are frequented by people driving long distances towards Kraków, [[Wrocław]], or Germany. The majority is local traffic though. Taking the ''Medyka-Shehyni border crossing'' is probably the faster option, as you can cross on foot (''not'' possible in Krakovets), which will save you the time needed to find a ride across the border, wait in the queue with them and undergo inspections of the car. Crossing on foot should be much faster.
To get to the ''Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing'', take bus #125 from the central train station to the last stop in Ryasny ruske (''Рясне-Руське''), walk a bit further until you're directly behind the road crossing where cars and even trucks have a lot of space to stop. <br>Here the ring road traffic passes by as well. In case you get a ride until or over the border you can patiently stay there to find a long ride as.

Second option is to walk down the road from the train station, at the crossing walk to the right, pass the small local train station, follow the road for another 500m (along a gas station), and walk right again at the next crossing. There you'll find a bus stop which is easy and fine to hitchhike rides out of town, which otherwise would be some 2 or 3 km of walking at least. Let you bring to the "Metro" shopping center thing, there you'll find a huge roundabout which roads going all directions, including Shehyni. There's also a very nice hitchhiking spot 100m further off the roundabout, with a restaurant next to it and satisfying light installations for night hitchhikers.
=== Northeast toward [[Rivne]], [[Kyiv|Kiev]] {{E|40}} M06 ===
Take marshrutka (minibus) #8, #14, #36A or #39 from near the Shevchenko monument in the city center. Go till the last stop ''Halytske perehrestya'' '''(Галицьке перехрестя)''' (except for #14 which goes a bit further, so ask the driver to stop at ''Halytske perehrestya''). All the buses stop in the middle of kinda market square. Look around, there must be a bus stop and a gas station hundred meters leftward and a bridge. Go under the bridge and walk 100m ahead. [http://maps.hitchwiki.org/?lat=49.877200532&lng=24.0642106533&zoom=16&trip=0&view=0 The hitchhiking spot] is in front of the gas station.

=== East towards [[Ternopil]], [[Vinnytsia]] (H-02) ===
Take marshrutka (mini bus) #3624 on Local railway station, it goes to Mytna square (Площа Митна). Then take mini bus #68 or #75 105 to ''Vynnyky'' '''(Винники)'''. This mini bus goes just to the circle road. You can hitch within the city limits or walk east along the main road for about 1 0.5 km and start hitching after the bypassbig billboard which stand over the road. There is free place for cars to stop, nd visibility is also very good.
=== South towards [[Mukachevo]], [[Uzhgorod]], [[Ivano-Frankivsk]], [[Slovakia]], [[Hungary]], [[Transylvania]] ([[Romania]]) {{E|50}} M9 ===
=== Southeast towards [[Zvenyhorod]], [[Stare Selo]], [[Ivano-Frankivsk]] (H-09) ===
Take marshrutka (minibus) №160 or trolley №11 from ploshcha Petrushevycha to Kiltseva (Ring road). Start to hitchhike behind the Ring road. (marshrutka (minibus) №160 does not go)
But because of bad quality of this road there are not many cars with far destination point. A lot of people going to Ivano-Frankivsk (Івано-Франківськ) by car use E50/M9 reaching Mykolayiv (Миколаїв) or Stryi (Стрий) and then turning directly to Ivano-Frankivsk. For more details see Southern direction.
== Accommodation and Sleep ==
If you prefer a place close to the city center, there are few big parks in Lviv where it's possible to pitch a tent, like Vysokyi Zamok, Shevchenkivskyi Hay (not the museum but its "wild" part known in Lviv as Kaiserwald) or Pohulyanka. Sure this options provide some risks but if you'll find a relatively hidden place there's not much probability someone will bother you.
