There are two places in Vilnius offering you a good possibility to get a ride towards Poland. Remember that in order to get to Poland you need first head towards Kaunas - it is a quicker and better way (other possibilities include hitching via [[Alytus]] ([http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=vilnius&daddr=alytus+to:sejny&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=54.399748,24.312744&sspn=1.646814,3.537598&ie=UTF8&ll=54.399645,24.31346&spn=3.293822,7.075195&z=7 map]) or via [[Trakai]] and [[Prienai]] ([http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=vilnius&daddr=trakai+to:marijampol%C4%97+to:Suwalki&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=53.569676,25.872803&sspn=1.67996,3.537598&ie=UTF8&ll=54.482805,23.873291&spn=3.287153,7.075195&z=7 map]) - it is not recommended to take these routes simply because these are very local roads with low traffic).
So the first spot is next to the huge shopping mall "Maxima" which lies outside the city, you . You can get there by taking a free bus run by "Maxima" every hour, at **:45 and **:18 from "Savanorių", or from the centre of the city [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=12102] (all info is in the spot info) [http://www.maxima.lt/pirkeju-klubas/nemokamas-autobusas/ schedule] ("darbo dienomis" = Mon-Fri). Or, from the bus stop "Savanorių" on the Savanorių avenue take a bus 21, 22, 23, 29, 54 or trolleybus 4,6,11,12,14,16. Once you are there [https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.657698,25.137695], jump over the road onto the other side (there's a newly built fence between the two roads, but it's small and you shouldn't hesitate to jump over it) - there you will see a small parking space which is a perfect spot for the cars to stop while you are thumbing on the road. This place has never failed, and waiting times are always good.
The other possibility is to take bus Nr. 29 at Savanorių bus stop towards Grigiškės, get out at huge market Gariūnai and then walk a little bit further, turn right and you'll appear standing on the motorway to Kaunas.
