Hitchhiking out

West towards Berlin, Dresden (D) A 4 E 40

Bielany Wroclawskie A4 motorway exit with Orlen petrol station on the spot

Use website to find bus connection with Bielany Wroclawskie. Then use google maps to walk to Orlen petrol station located on the exit from the motorway.

More detailed description of buses:

133 - get off at either "AUCHAN" or "C.H. Aleja Bielany" (last stop). From "AUCHAN" it is 400m walk, from C.H. Aleja Bielany it is 1000m walk.

612, 862, 872, 892 - get off at "Bielany Wr. - MAKRO". From there it is 1400m walk.

852, 882 - get off at "Bielany Wr. - Centrum Handlowe" From there it is 900m walk.


East towards Katowice, Kraków A 4 E 40

Bielany Wrocławskie A4 highway exit with Orlen petrol station on the spot

Use website to find bus connection with Bielany Wroclawskie.

Then use google maps to walk to Orlen petrol station located on the exit from the motorway. It is the same situation as going towards Germany, you are just on the other side of the motorway.

More detailed description of buses:

133 - get off at "C.H. Aleja Bielany" (last stop). From there it is 700m walk.

612, 862, 872, 892 - get off at "Bielany Wr. - MAKRO". From there it is 600m walk.

852, 882 - get off at "Bielany Wr. - Centrum Handlowe" From there it is 700m walk.


Somebody hitching to east / E 40 on Google Street View

Note : If you're going past Katowice region (for example to Kraków), but your driver is turning off A4 there, then get off at MOP Rachowice at the outskirts of Gliwice - it's a great spot to find a ride further on. Otherwise you might get stuck in some very bad spot with only local traffic.

Northeast towards Łódź, Warszawa 8 E 67

Option 1

Take bus 604 to the end of route. From there you have to only cross the tracks on the left and you will be on very long straight road with very wide shoulder of road. Another option to go there is taking the bus D, and go to the end of route and from there you have to cross a few building and go to the road (more or less 800m). You will be in the same place from first option but on the second side of road.


Option 2

It's possible to take the bus 128, getting off at the stop Psie Pole, and walk in the direction of the train station. Start hitching in front of the train station, before the bus stop (the train station is on the opposite side of the road).

You can also take the train from main station "Wrocław Główny" to station "Psie Pole". It's better option than bus cause this will take you 20 minutes.


Option 3

In the west of the city you can find a roundabout in Graniczna street where it meets with Płaska street, just before the S8. There is a shopping centre nearby. You can stand in the exit of the roundabout with a Warszawa sign. There is just enough place for the cars to stop, and they are going very slow, so they can see you easily.

North towards Poznań, Bydgoszcz 5 E 261

Rafkoo hitching out towards Porznan

Hitchhiking spot: lay-by for bus 908. Bus departure from Dworzec Nadodrze station. It cost 3.40 Zl. Name of the bus station: "Lekarska". And this is your spot. You can't walk further. Having a sign is strongly recommended

Northwest towards Zielona Góra, Szczecin 94 3 E 65

Take tram 10 or 20 to Leśnica from the city centre and get of on the last stop (the ride takes about 30 minutes). Then walk west, after the traffic lights there is a bus stop, from which you can hitchhike.

South towards Kłodzko, Prague (CZ) 8 E 67

Option 1

Take the bus to the village Magnice. This is the place that ring road and old road cross and all the traffic in direction of south has to pass there. This place is even better as it is the bus station straight after the traffic lights, so cars go slower. The bus costs 4,50 Zloty.

All time tables: timetables; (Rozklad jazdy - time table, Dni robocze - weekdays, Soboty - Saturdays, Niedziele - Sundays)

You could use website to find connection with Magnice.

These buses go to Magnice: 862 - Main Train Station (Dworzec PKP) -> Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice, 872 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice. Little longer way: 852 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice, 892 - Wroclaw Krzyki -> Magnice

Option 2

Take the Auchan bus from inside Dworzec PKS (the main bus station) to Bielany shopping centre and get off at the last stop. It costs 1,50 Zloty. Walk along the main road which goes above the motorway till you get to the bus stop just after the traffic lights, where you can hitch.

Option 3

Take Tesco bus from the crossroad of Hallera and Powstańców Sląskich or Wroclaw EPI station (close to main bus station) to shopping center Bielany (timetable; ). It cost 3 Zloty. When you get there you must go behind the shopping center and get to the bridge which is above the road you're at. The best road to Prague is the one through Kudowa Zdroj and Hradec Kralove becouse all of the trucks are going this way (E67).

Warning

In case of getting a lift which will be crossing going by any other place than Kudowa Zdroj, do not take it (only if you can drive directly to Prague or Hradec Kralove). All other roads (as Miedzylesie - Mladkovske sedlo) are pretty dead and you might find it very difficult to get a lift in there.

Hitching in

There are a few different highways that circle around Wroclaw. If your driver isn't travelling directly to Wroclaw, it is unlikely that they will take you to the centre because it is a rather large diversion for them.

If you're driving along the A8, ask the driver to let you out at the airport. From there you can take the airport bus directly to the city centre - it is very cheap.
