Find main breweries (Gambrinus and Pilsner Urquell), they are at the main road to the highway to Prague. Walk until you see big crossroads and just behind it is great spot ([http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=7688 place at map]). You can also use trolley-buses 11, 15, 16, 17 and get of at station "Šumavská" or trolley-bus 13/bus 28 to station "U prazdroje" and continue to that crossroads by following the trolleys.
+
There are lot of possible spots for Prague (use sign "Praha" or "PHA"). Starting from Option 1 you can use any bus stop on the street till Option 2.  There are enough cars to Prague all day and night long. Alternatively you can also use other highway-links; roads in direction of [[Klatovy]] or [[České Budějovice]].

This is new and probably the best spot. Quite good even in the late evening. A sign with "Praha" or "PHA" can help.

==== Going through/around [[Prague]] ====
 +
It's definitely possible to hitchhike through Prague in major directions. It can take 1-2 hours but searching way with public transport can be as slow and complicated if you don't know Prague. Try to stick to petrol stations at "Jižní spojka" (southern connection) and hop from one to the other.  
  
''Most of cars I have caught went to various parts of Praha (mostly Zličín, Airport, Smíchov...).''
+
From [[D5_(CZ)|D5]] to [[D1_(CZ)|D1]] (direction [[Brno]]) you can use Prague ring road, get off at last petrol station at D5 called Rudná and hitchhike there with D1 or Brno sign.

|description = It's quite long walk from city.

You will see small green bridge for cyclists over it and behind is the ramp. You'll find your place there. Even though cars go faster in 2 lanes and little bit in turn it's good spot. There are lot of prostitutes around, show your backpack!
  
If you want to go eastern/southern from Praha it's easy. Cars going that way use new ring road so they won't stop you automatically in Plzeň (everybody thinks you want to go to Praha) so get off at the last petrol station before Praha called "Rudná" (McDonald is there) and there use a sign "D1". You can save lot of time. Or try to use both signs "Praha" and "D1" in Plzeň. ''Only with sign "D1" I have never been successful.''

Less than 1 km behind this spot is petrol station. There are more prostitutes and their customers than cars going for petrol. But you can find truck for long distance. Another 1 km behind is highway D5. Hitchhiking there is possible also. }}

Ticket costs 12 Kč ~0,50 € and you can't change with it (for changing/long time tickets you have to own a Pilsen card). Buy tickets at tobaccos, machines don't work well. Tickets from the driver cost 20 Kč ~0,80 €

In the city centre there are pretty good maps showing the way out, but for example from náměstí Republiky keep walking Solní (Palackého náměstí – Přemyslova – Skvrňanská – and finally Domažlická) about 1,5 km until you see a bus stop (Škoda VII. brána - trolley-bus 12) that is just before a railroad crossing. You can hitchhike either from the bus stop or the empty area between the stop and the raidroad. This spot is ok, but you'll probably find better ones by taking a bus a bit forward down the road 26.
