==== Option 1: E67 (Laagri) ====
1. Take bus [httphttps://webtransport.trafitallinn.comee/#!schedulesbus/tallinn18/18a-Busb/20819-Viru-keskus-Laagri1/tal_bus_18 map bus 18] from bus-stop ''Viru'' (close to the Viru Gate entrance to the Old Town where the McDonalds is) to the final stop ''Laagri'' (about a 30 minute ride). Walk on about ≈150m along Pärnu maantee, the large road to the south, and hitch. Traffic is going fairly slow and there's a wide hard shoulder.<br/ >
One stop earlier, you will also find a petrol station. Also buses 10 and 14 stop nearby at their end stations.
=== East towards [[St. Petersburg]] (RU) {{E|20}} ===
==== Option 1: Highway 1 at Pae ====Take one of the following buses : 12 (Väike-Õismäe - Priisle (this is an express line and costs more)), 13 (Väike-Õismäe - Seli) or 54 (Mereakadeemia-Estonia, 67 (Estonia-Seli) or 68 (Estonia - Priisle; does not circulate at Sundays) or better still , tram 2 (Kopli-Ülemiste) or 4 (Tondi-Ülemiste) to Pae. The tram-stop to take from the centre of the town is Hobujaama. When you get to Pae hitch from the crossroad of Peterburi tee and Pae. Although buses in the 100's and 200's (e. g. 156) go there from Balti Jaam as well, they drive out of town and are therefore much more expensive than normal buses. Also, Pae street is still pretty much in town and hitchhiking from there might be a bit more difficult.
==== Option 2: Highway 1 at Pirita Jõgi ====A better option is to hike hitch from Pirita Jõgi, which is on the border of Tallinn. To get there one has to walk for some distance, though. One can go on any bus leaving from Balti Jaam to Loksa (e.g. 152). These are also buses that leave town and therefore cost more. To get there by Tallinn's public transportation one can take one the buses 13 (Väike-Õismäe - Seli) 49 or 54 (Mereakadeemia-Estonia), 67 (Estonia-Seli), 68 (Estonia-Priisle) to Priisle (or Seli if you take bus 67) and then walk along Rahu tee until one reaches Peterburi tee and walk eastward. It's best to start hitchhiking from after the bridge over Pirita river.
To get from Pae (Option 1) to Pirita Jõgi (Option 2), one can (in addition to buses 13 and , 54, 67, and 68) also take either number bus 50 (Seli-Pae) or 58 (Priisle-Pae) to Priisle.
=== Southeast towards [[Tartu]] ===
While on the ferry, you should hitchhike already on the car deck of the ship. Go to the car deck about 30 minutes before arrival time to the harbour and start asking around. If you have a large backpack, keep in mind that at some point the car deck's doors will open and the cars will start flowing out into the harbour. You don't want to be between large trucks at that point! As over 50% of Finns live more than 150 km away from Helsinki, you will be able to get a rather long ride this way!
'''Cheap Ticket''' Since the ferries aren't hitchable, you might have to buy a ticket. One way tickets cost cost between 15 and 70 Euro/person (depending on the season etc.) So instead you might want to buy a "minicruise" ticket. That usually means you stay on the boat until it arrives back at your starting point. Anyways, no one is controlling the leaving passengers, so you just leave after half the ride you paid for. These tickets are usually a lot cheaper, since they expect you to buy food etc. while on board.
====Ferry companies====
The ferry terminals close for the night. However, outside the terminal entrances there are benches where you can unroll your sleeping bag (if the weather is relatively warm). In summer Pirita marina is a perfectly calm and cool place to set up your tent in tje wood or sleep in the beach and try your luck hitchin boats the morning after
