== Hitching in ==
  
There are 2 ''youth hostels'' (see map), where you can stay for quite small fee (~5€ in march 2007).<br>
+
=== From the west ===
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]). (here are both places on one [http://arc.um.zielona-gora.pl/zg/start.jsp?o=6766 map]).<br>
 
You can always go with the city buses. Ticket for students cost 1PLN (1€ is ~4PLN) and you can buy them in each bus, but you have to have small change.

== How to get into the town ==
+
There are 2 ways to get into the town from that direction.
There are actually 3 main directions where you can come from:<br>
+
* 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''', '''Carrefour''' or '''McDonald's'''.
* West - which stands for [[Germany]] ([[Berlin]], [[Słubice]], [[Świecko]], [[Gubin]])
+
* lorry drivers (or drivers who don't stop in Zielona Góra) very often the 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 (line 55)
* North - which stands for [[Poznań]], [[Szczecin]], [[Gorzów Wielkopolski]], [[Świebodzin]]
+
 
* South - which stands for [[Wrocław]]
+
=== From the north ===
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.

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

* lorry drivers (or drivers who don't stop in Zielona Góra) takes very often 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).
