'''Pärnu''' is a small town in the south of [[Estonia]] - ca. 80 km from the border with [[Latvia]].
== Hitching in and around ==
Pärnu is a long coastal city with no ring road, so it is difficult and time-consuming to continue hitchhiking on the Via Baltica if you are dropped off at one end of the city or the other. If your driver will stop in Pärnu, try asking him to take you to the right exit for your onward route. Otherwise, you can take public transportation. Bus 19 runs between the north end of the city (Tallinn road) and the centre. Bus 40 runs between the south end of the city (Riga road) and the centre.
=== South towards [[Riga]] {{European Route Number|67}} ===
There are two good places in Pärnu for hitchhiking south towards Riga. If your location is near bus station or somewhere in northern part of Pärnu, walking through whole town is not a good idea. Rather going to Ehitajate tee where go cars straight south, not entering the city. Road is wide therefore comfortable for drivers to stop.
=== East towards [[Tartu]], [[Viljandi]] ===
Hitch in the direction of Riga, but turn east at the Uulu crossroads some 8 km south of Pärnu.
