When heading for [[Budapest]] you will see that the border is around 15 km from '''Bratislava'''. It is walkable (''if you like that kind of thing'') follow the motorway but be aware that once outside the city there are no [[petrol station]]s and only one parking place which is more or less between the border and '''Bratislava'''. The parking is far from ideal, very quiet, no services and so large its difficult to talk to drivers.
Not exactly hitching, but you can get a bus ticket to Budapest for 90 SKK (~4.50 USD) from the Student Agency on Obchodna Ulica. The place is, if facing towards the old town, on the left hand side of the street just before Postova Ulica, near the McD's/KFC and Slovak Pub. If you're under 26 don't forget to ask for the 10% discount. ===West towards [[Austria]]=== Walk south over the UFO bridge and follow the pedestrian/cycle path to the right. You will arrive at a bus stop on Einsteinova, standing at the front of the marked off lane will give drivers a place to pull over. The road splits shortly after, but both ways lead towards Vienna, so to catch all possible rides it's best to wait before the fork. It's not ideal as three lanes of traffic are moving quickly by, but it is the only real option. If you are unsuccessful, two bus companies operating between Bratislava and Vienna pick up right at that bus stop about every 15 minutes during the day.
