Hitchhiking out
South towards Frýdek-Místek, Olomouc and Brno
From the city center, take a tram #1, #3, #10, #12, #17, #18 or #19. Get out at the last stop Dubina Interspar and continue in the original tram direction along the Plzeňská street. In about 2 km, you'll reach the intersection with Mitrovická street. Cross this street. The place between the intersection and the bus station is a good place to catch a car towards Olomouc or Brno.
Second option From the city center take a tram #2 and get off at the stop "Obchodní centrum" - it is a huge shopping center called Avion. Cross the subway, go through the shopping center and you´ll get to the parking. You should see McDonald´s on the left. Next to it there is a roundabout - turn right. The street is going down, to the big street called "Rudná". Continue on that street for about 5 minutes, you´ll cross the bridge and right there is a stopping lane. There is a lot of local traffic heading to other parts of city and other directions. Highly recommended to have cardboard with your destination.
