1st (not far from center of the town) is on [http://arc.um.zielona-gora.pl/zg/start.jsp?o=6764 Długa 13] street ([http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=51.93667187867855&lng=15.489778518676758&zoom=15&trip=0&view=0 Liftershalte.info]) and 2nd on [http://arc.um.zielona-gora.pl/zg/start.jsp?o=6765 Botaniczna 77] street ([http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=51.91902046393112&lng=15.49896240234375&zoom=15&trip=0&view=0 Liftershalte.info]).

* South - which stands for [[Wrocław]]
 
If you want to stay in Zielona Góra, the best idea is to go to center of the town (blue area on the map). You can always ask your driver if he/she can stop (drop you) over there.
 
=== How to get to youth hostels ===
 
From center is very easy :)<br />
 
in both ways you have to catch "'''0'''" bus in direction of '''Botaniczna''' street (not Wrocławska)(bus goes every 10-20 minutes).
 
* hostel at [http://arc.um.zielona-gora.pl/zg/start.jsp?o=6764 Długa] street (that one close to the center). Go with "0" bus till you reach '''Carrefour''' supermarket. Bus will stop just in front of that shop, but this is not your final destination ;) the next bust stop after this one, will be that right one :) When you go out from the bus, turn right. You will see traffic lights, behind them, there will be buliding made of red brick - that's hostel, you can alwaya ask for CKU.
 
* hostel at [http://arc.um.zielona-gora.pl/zg/start.jsp?o=6765 Botaniczna] street. Go with "0" bus to the end. Over there ask for street number. It shouldm't be far from that bus stop.

Hitching in

From the west

There are 2 ways to get into the town from that direction.

  • mostly, drivers with small cars going to Zielona Góra from direction Gubin, Słubice (check it on the map), so then go with them as far as possible to the center :) you can always ask for Castorama, Carrfour or Mc'Donalds.
  • lorry drivers (or drivers who don't stop in Zielona Góra) very often tke the ring road/bypass. So then, you have to stop when you will see Auchan supermarket on the left (on the map it's checked by Łężyca direction). Then, you can go to Auchan and take free bus to town (but goes very rarely).

From the north

First of all, you have to find out where the driver goes exactly.

  • if is taking bypass of Zielona Góra and goes to Wrocław or Germany
    • if driver goes to Wrocław you are rather unlucky ;). You have to stop then at the 1st exit to Zielona Góra and walk for about ~4km to town.
    • if driver goes to Germany then it's easier ;), there are 2 options:
    1. go with driver to 1st roundabout (before it, you will see MAKRO hipermarket on the right). Then walk for about 1.5km to town.
    2. go with driver to 2nd roundabout (after it, you will see Auchan supermarket on the right). Go to Auchan and take free bus to town or walk if you want.
  • or goes straight to the town,that's the easiest ;)

From the south

There are 2 ways to get into the town from that direction.
First of all, you have to find out where the driver goes exactly.

  • if is taking bypass of Zielona Góra and goes to Poznań, Szczecin or Gorzów Wielkopolski, you have to stop then at the 1st exit to Zielona Góra and walk for about ~2km to town. Then you will reach big car park on the left. There's a bus stop aswell. Take "0" bus and go to the center.
  • or goes straight to the town,that's the easiest ;)
