Hitchhiking out

Towards Joniskis, Jelgava, Riga

The spot is located along Tilzes gatve, right after the cross with Ausros gatve, on E77 road heading to Joniskis, Jelgava, Riga. Just walk, or take a bus/micro-bus (No. 21, 17, 5a opposite side of the street where the Bus Station is) to the northern part of the city. It's immediately after a petrol station, near a bus stop, and on the right side you will see a road (Ausros gatve) and signs for other directions (Panevezys). Another good spot, a little bit farther from the city, is the first bus stop after the intersection of the E77, around 2 km after the cemetery.

Towards Klaipėda, Kaunas, Kryzkalnis, Taurage

The spot is located along Tilzes gatve, after you pass a petrol station and the entrance/exit of the supermarket parking, on E77 road heading to Kelme, Bubiai, Kryzkalnis. Take a bus (No. 21, 18, 7, 13 from the same side of the street where the Bus Station is) and get off at bus stop called "Tilzes" which is just in front of the big supermarket called "Akropolis". Go ahead via Tilzes street till you reach a crossroad. The spot is 50 meters straight after the crossroad. Just stand on the side of the street even there is a fence. Cars can stop there.
