Niš
,→East towards Sofia (Bulgaria) {{European Route Number|80}}
'''Option 2 (local road):''' This option used to be the best one before the highway was completed in November 2019. Now mostly local traffic goes there and international traffic uses highway, trucks especially because they are not allowed to use local road anymore. Personally I wouldn't take this route, but if you are into more picturescue road through Sićevo gorge, you can use this option.
Take a city '''bus number 1''' from the central square to Niška Banja. One-way ticket costs 80 RSD, which is about 0.70€. Conductors will charge it once you get on the bus. No need to buy ticket in advance. After about a 15 minutes journey, get off the bus on the second-to-last stop, just before roundabout (before bus crosses over the railroad tracks). There is a roundabout and you can thumb after the roundabout. Here, you may catch some traffic driving out of the city to your direction. After highway was completed, most of the people take highway and this road is mostly used for local traffic nowadays. Still, you can find a ride to Pirot or even the border as the road is free and in good condition, so some people choose this road instead of paying for highway.
