=== North towards [[Pärnu]] or [[Tallinn]] ([[Estonia]]) {{European Route Number|67}} ===
Take a tram #1 or 6 from the city center (for example, from a stop called ''Merķeļa iela'') to the final stop called ''Jugla'' - there you will find a road to the north, you will see there a petrol station, traffic lights, a bus stop (and "McDonald's" in case you want to go to the toilet). It is not the best idea to hitchhike after the speed limit road sign (70) - there, cars are already going quite fast, and stopping a car there can cause a crash. Note, that about 750 metres farther from the traffic lights (after crossing the bridge) there is a nice big [[rest area|lay-by]] where cars stop. If you're heading to [[Estonia]] have an ''EST'' sign - it will make all go a lot quicker.
Another option is to take bus #1 ([http://saraksti.rigassatiksme.lv/?a=p.routes&transport_id=bus&t=xhtml&l=en#2595 see route]) towards "Pansionāts" and get out at stop "Brīvdabas muzejs" which is first stop after lake that you'll see on right. Walk few steps back and you'll be exactly at the same spot as mentioned above.
=== South-East towards [[Daugavpils]] and [[Belarus]] {{European Route Number|22}} ===
