Niš
,→East towards Sofia (Bulgaria) {{European Route Number|80}}
'''Option 1 (highway):''' You need to get to the toll gate called "Naplatna stanica - Niš istok" and it's located here https://goo.gl/maps/4WTEMmG5PphHWGjc8
To get there, take a city '''bus number 4''' from the city center. Ticket costs 60 dinars or 0.5 euros and the ride will take around 15-20 minutes. Follow GPS on your phone and when the bus crosses intersection of "Knjazevacka street " and "Matejevacki put", get off the bus. Keep walking in the same direction for 1.5 km. If you feel like not walking so much, you can try to hitchhike after you cross intersection of "Matejevacki put " and "Somborska street " (when 6 lanes boulevard becomes 2 lane street). Most of the cars go to the villages and some to the highway (same direction). You may get lucky and save your legs of 1 km walking. If not, just keep walking to the toll gate. Make sure with the driver that he goes to the direction of Bulgaria or Pirot at least. Car should go over the highway. Don't make a mistake and go to the right. You will get lost in the highway intersections later and it will be difficult to come back.
You can also take '''bus number 5''' from the city center. Same price for the bus ticket, but it could be slightly faster ride because the route is shorter. Get off at the last stop at Somborska street. Note this: Somborska street has changed name recently, but on Google maps it's still the old name. If the new name ever gets updated on Google maps, don't get confused if you don't find Somborska street but you find "Bulevar svetog Pantelejmona". From the last stop walk 2 km to the hitchhiking spot explained above.
