=== West towards [[Hungary]] {{European Route Number|60}} ===
From Oradea it is 15 km to the [[Ártánd-Borş border crossing]]. Get to ''Calea Borsului'', at the end of the tram line, pass under the bridge, and walk some meters from the little road to the right. There you wait. You may get a lift to Bors, the last village in Romania which is close to the border, but many times people will take you to Hungary. If they can't take you to Budapest, get out at the border, don't go further. That is the best place to catch a ride to Budapest along the whole 250 km route (even taking in account places close to Budapest). If you go further, waiting times will increase significantly. Most of those who cross the border, go to Budapest anyway. Waiting time is a few minutes or 2 hours in daylight.
The hardest part is to get to the border. Sometimes it can be more than an hour to hitch those 15 km. It is worth avoid this wait by getting on a bus. They have big red ORADEA BORS inscription above the windshield, and they usually stop for hitchhikers. They also stop at the end of the tram line. The fare is 1 euro (4 lei).
