Find Buleardi Deshmoreve Also you can take a bus 10 in the souther part city center, one of the city (or find Blvd. Nena Tereze and walk south till it continues into the former).

Note that Or you will be standing close can say to a bus stop so people might advice you to hop on a busthe driver Valoni petrol station. Nonetheless it's an excellent spotYou can HH from the petrol station which is before the junction or walk further and HH after.
== Maps ==There are two roads leading to Prizren. The old road is the one going south, so you can follow the advice above to get there.The new road (E851) goes west towards Peja. Follow Bulevardi Bill Klinton until you go under the bridge with the roundabout on top. Hitch from the first stop light.
Google maps have no idea about what Kosovo towns are, as well as many other map resourses*[[User:Henridv|Henridv]] (Mar. 2017) There 's quite a lot of traffic on both roads but the spot on the new road is no tourist information office in Kosovo (or we failed a lot easier for cars to find one) but stop. People on both roads will tell you can walk to go to the Grand Hotel other spot. ''I found a ride after 10 minutes on the new road.*[[User:Antonopa|Antonopa]] (not far April 2017) Hitchhiked from here to Prizren, barely had time to put down my bag and hold up my sign before a car stopped. The first car that saw my sign stopped, took me all the Stadiumway to prizren. Excellent spot. *[[User:Janos|Janos]] (June 2018) and ask them Same here, took me like 5 minutes. One car also stopped to offer me a ride for Kosovo/Pristina map - they give one 4 euro.*[[User:Rebew|Rebew]] (Aug. 2022) No luck for freeus on the new road, two guys. Someone offered to take us to a better spot after an hour. A direct ride might've been to ambitious. It === Online Solutions === There is not perfect but at least an online community of hitchhikers where you will have a clear map of the city center and a nice map of Kosovocan find rides from Prishtina towards other cities in Kosova, as well as some info about local sitesTirana (Albania) and Skopje (Macedonia). The community has more than 13k active members and this is a great chance to reserve a drive a day ahead.

You can also download a InYourPocket Pristina guide with a map in it. It's a decent map of the city center. Here is the link [[Category: Kosovo]][http[Category://www.inyourpocket.com/data/download/pristina.pdf Pristina IYPE80]] (in case the address changes go to their website and check in the download section)
→South-west towards Prizren
'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}''' (also spelled '''Prishtina''') is the largest city in the disputed territory of [[Kosovo]].
=== North-West towards [[Kosovska Mitrovica]] ===
To hitch out of Pristina, walk to Bill Klinton Clinton st and continue till you come to a junction. It is not obvious where it is because there is no sign Mitrovica on the way from the city. Walk up the junction bridge and then walk on in the Mitrovica direction (i.e. right if you came from the city center) untill until you come to a petrol station. Of course you can hitch right away without walking to petrol station first, but all traffic here seems to be very local so you have better chances of finding a straight car talking at the petrol station then thumbing on the road.
See [http://travel.yahoo.com/p-map-490643-map_of_pristina-i yahoo maps] for Pristina geometry understanding, though the map is not quite right - the junction is actually inside the city.
=== North-West towards [[Peje]] and airport if you need it ===
Just walk the same road as for Mitrovica but instead of finding the bridge walk on straigh straight till you find a suitable spot (i.e. basically anywhere ;)
=== North towards [[Podujevo]], [[Kursumlia]], [[Niš|Nis]] and [[Belgrade]] ===
Find Bajram Bahtri street in the northen part of the town (near the railways) and follow it, moving north, until it comes into M25.
Beware of many taxi drivers that passing by, tell them that you are hitchhiking before you get into the car.
=== South towards [[Skopje]], [[Ferizaj]] === Find Buleardi Deshmoreve in the southern part of the city (or find Blvd. Nena Tereze and walk south till it continues into the former). Walk until a big roundabout with a lot of bus stops and private taxis. Continue south, pass the gas station and hitch right after the road splits into two, one of them towards [[Skopje]], [[Ferizaj]] and [[Prizren]] ===. There is a car park and a construction site and plenty of space for a car to stop. Note that you will be standing close to a bus stop so people might advice you to hop on a bus. Nonetheless it's an excellent spot.
If you are heading to [[Prizren]] rather don't expect to stop a car that will bring you straight to your desired destination. Most of the cars will be going towards [[Ferizaj]]. If you find a common language with the driver try to ask him to bring you to the place where the road to [[Prizren]] starts - it wont be a problem for him to get back on the road to [[Ferizaj]], there is a lot of space to maneuver a car.
=== South-west towards [[File:Hitchhiking_Prishtina.JPG|thumb|250px|left|The road towards Skopje, Ferizaj, Prizren.]]===
