'''Warsaw''' (Polish: ''Warszawa'') is the capital and largest city of [[Poland]].

You can cross city very fast by using public transport. Check public transport lines at bus and tram stations.

== Hitching Out ==

=== West towards [[Łódź]], [[Poznań]], [[Berlin]], ([[Germany]]) {{National Road Number Poland|A2}} {{National Road Number Poland|S2}} {{National Road Number Poland|92}} ===

'''Option #1: S8 onramp (busstop) Warszawa-Powązkowska'''

Next bigger rest stop on the A2 highway is in Biskupice - MOP Brwinów Południe.

'''Option #2: A2 highway service station MOP Brwinów Południe / Mcdonalds'''

Alternative way: bus 743 from Cmentarz Wolski till Wolica Plochocina end stop and than walk to Biskupice 5 km (look a bus stop list some buses goes to other final stop)

'''Option #3: S8 onramp Warszawa Zachód'''

You can take the trains from platform #3 at ''Warszawa Śródmieście'' which is next to the Central Station

'''Option #4: S2 bus stop on the entry to bypass from southern part of the city'''

Take the bus from metro station Wilanowska to the stop '''Żołny''' (lines 319, 709, 715, 727, 739). Then go back a bit to the direction you arrived under the overpass and turn left. There is a place where a lot of the southern inhabitants of Warsaw go to A2. There is an unused bus stop on the highway entrance. There is enough space to stop a truck. The drivers will come around the bend, but if you stay at the end of the bus stop they will go slow enough and they will have much time to see you and stop. It is a great place to catch direct car to Łódź, to Poznań or even Gdańsk you can change on the service station (MOP) Nowosady (there are Burger King and Shell gas station), if the driver comes to Łódź and you want to go west or north it is important to left before A1 and A2 junction.

'''Option #5: National road 92 slower option'''

When you get out at the station in ''Ożarów Mazowiecki'' (make sure you keep an eye out for the correct station, Ożarów Mazowiecki only has one sign at the end of the station) just leave the station to the right (facing away from Warsaw) and follow Marii Konopnickiej Street until you reach a bigger street, Poznańska (about 500m). Another few hundred meters to the East you will find a bus stop with plenty of space to stop (it's across the street from the church). It's just one lane, cars are going quite slow and you avoid a great deal of local traffic out of Warsaw. Even though this is the old main road to the West and some drivers (especially trucks) take it to avoid the highway fees, it will probably take longer than using the highway.

=== South towards [[Radom]], [[Kielce]], [[Kraków]] {{National Road Number Poland|7}} {{E|77}} ===

As for 2020, there's new piece of S8 expressway, which goes around Janki. You can go to '''''P+R Aleja Krakowska''''' as mentioned before. From there take bus 721 in direction of ''Kosów'' or 728 towards ''Złotokłos''. You can go out on stop ''Sękocin Las'' (Second one, after the crossing & joining with main road. There are two stops with same name, if you get out on first, right one is ~100m further). There's some forest if you want to sleep, but not a lot of lights for after sunlight. You can also go further to stop ''Wygoda'' and try on road or gas station there.

=== Southwest towards [[Wrocław]] {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}}, [[Łódź]] {{National Road Number Poland|72}}, [[Katowice]] {{National Road Number Poland|1}} {{E|75}} ===

'''Option 1'''

From the stop ''Janki'', note that the road splits. The Mszczonowska road going right will cointinue on S8 highway. Place next to Mszczonowska street 9 has nice place to hitchike. Using a large sign can be very effective.

'''Option 2''' - AMIC Energy gas station / MOP Urzut rest stop

A good place to hitch from near the bus stop ''Dzierżoniowska'' (you need to press STOP for that busstop). To get here, either take bus 114 from metro ''Młociny'' in the direction ''Młociny-UKSW'', or take bus 181 from the metro station ''Plac Wilson'' in the direction ''Cmentarz Północny''. Once you get off the bus at ''Dzierżoniowska'', you can see the main road going north and there are several places to stand. Best is trafic lights next to McDonald.

=== Northeast towards [[Białystok]], [[Kaunas]] ([[Lithuania]]) {{National Road Number Poland|S8}} {{E|67}} ===

First bigger rest stop on S8 highway is MOP Małopole

Also there are some small lakes and nice place to camp overnight

Bus 412 from Dworzec Wileński till Wolności (3 stops). There is also a Shell fuel station (Piłsudskiego 2) with space next to it. A bit back is Geodezyjna bus stop where you may try to hitchike. Better have sign Bialystok.

(Opposite side of higway are some lakes. Search maps for Wake Family Brwinów)

=== Southeast towards [[Lublin]], [[Lviv]] ([[Ukraine]]) {{National Road Number Poland|17}} {{E|372}} ===

''Wał Miedzyszynski - Bronowska Street'' intersection is also quite a good spot.

=== East towards Siedlce, [[Brest (Belarus)|Brest]] ([[Belarus]]) {{National Road Number Poland|2}} {{E|30}} ===

Get to the station Szosa Lubelska (see above). Try to hitch right from the bus stop at Szosa Brzeska.
