Hitchiking out of Ljubljana is relatively easy, in all directions, Standing on the ''Autostrada'' on-ramp.

=== Northeast towards [[Maribor]], [[Austria]] ([[Graz]], [[Vienna]]), [[Hungary]] ===

From the main street, west of the train station (Slovenska cesta, Dunajska cesta), take buses 6, 8 or 11 in direction north. Get off at the stop "Smelt", at the "World Trade Center" tower. Walk further on towards the motorway, then right after the fountain. You will see the road forking, the left lane going down to the motorway, the right lane going higher up. Stand with your sign in the middle between the two lanes. Even though it might look a bit unsafe, this is the most common spot and it's easy for a car to stop there (enough space and they see you soon enough to slow down).

=== Northwest towards [[Kranj]], [[Bled]], [[Villach]], [[Salzburg]] ([[Austria]]), [[Munich]] ([[Germany]]) ===

This motorway E61/A2 starts from the Ljubljana bypass. The best way to join this motorway is from the street Celovška cesta, at the bus stop Šentvid. You can get there easily by taking bus number 1, 25, or 8 from the city centre in direction of Vižmarje. You can hitchhike at the stop, but make sure you have a sign. Even better spot is a tunnel about 500 m ahead. In that tunnel there is an extra lane for cars to stop and you can catch cars going from 3 different directions into the tunnel, unlike the bus stop, where you only cover one direction. [[File:Help Edit.jpeg|right|thumb|234px|Hitchhiking spot right after the tunnel, direction : Austria ]] To get there keep walking away from the centre and turn right at the traffic light where the cars leave the street and join the highway. The signs are visible from the stop. After you turned right you should see the tunnel. My favourite place is at the end because cars have a lot of time to see you. If people who pick you up don't go as far as you like, you can go off at former toll station Torovo and keep hitchiking there.

=== South or west towards [[Koper]], [[Nova Gorica]], [[Rijeka]], [[Pula]], [[Italy]] ===

If your destination is [[Rijeka]], take also rides going to [[Postojna]] or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and from there walk across the highway (use the bridge). There is a good spot to hitchike southwards just few hundred meters after the bridge.

=== Southeast towards [[Novo mesto]], [[Zagreb]] ===
