== Hitchhiking out ==
If heading towards [[Poland]], choose carefully which of the several border crossings you want to take.If you are just crossing Poland and heading for [[Germany]] or further West, you should definitely take
=== Northwest towards [[Rava-Ruska]], [[Zamość]] (PL), [[Lublin]] (PL) {{E|372}} M09 ===
Take bus #45 from near the Shevchenko monument in the city center. Ask the driver to let you out at the stop for ''Avtostantsiya Nomer Dva'' '''(АС-2 - Автостанція №2)''', a bus station in the northern suburbs of Lviv. The driver will drop you off on a busy, wide road, where you just continue walking in the same direction for about 1 km until the beginning of road M-09 (E372) going to [[Rava-Ruska]] (Рава-Руська) and the border with [[Poland]]. This road is clearly signposted and once you turn off onto it, it's easy to find room to stop a car.
You can also take a minibus from behind the Opera. There are a few lines going to AC-2 and some even further. If they turn left at the roundabout next to the big bus station stay, because then you don't have to walk. Best is to take a bus going to ''Мурованое'', then you can stay until the very beginning of the road M09 (you can recognize it easily, because there is a bridge). It is also possible to take the busses 31, 51, 53 and some others to Rynok Galickij Perekrestok ("рынок галицкий перекресток") to arrive at the same spot.
This direction leads to the [[Hrebenne-Rava Ruska border crossing]].
=== West towards [[Krakovets]], [[Rzeszów]], [[Kraków]], [[Germany]] ===
If you want to hitch towards Rzeszów and anywhere far away (even towards [[Warsaw]] consider the route via Rzeszów) you should stick to the [[Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing]], because most cars going a long distance pass by this border crossing.
Take bus #125 from the central train station to the last stop in Ryasny ruske (''Рясне-Руське''), walk a bit further until you're directly behind the road crossing where cars and even trucks have a lot of space to stop.
Here the ring road traffic passes by as well. In case you get a ride until or over the border you can patiently stay there to find a long ride as.
=== Northeast toward [[Rivne]], [[Kyiv|Kiev]] {{E|40}} M06 ===
=== West towards [[Przemyśl]] ([[Poland]]) M11 ===
It's a fast way to Poland, because you don't have to cross in a car, but be aware that there is mostly local traffic going to polish supermarkets and doing business in the border region.
From the central train station, you have two options. First lazy one is to take the minibus, which costs 15 UAH (Nov 2009) and might be on the road for some 2 hours. For more, check the information below. Second option is to walk down the road from the train station, at the crossing walk to the right, pass the small local train station, follow the road for another 500m (along a gas station), and walk right again at the next crossing. There you'll find a bus stop which is easy and fine to hitchhike rides out of town, which otherwise would be some 2 or 3 km of walking at least. Let you bring to the "Metro" shopping center thing, there you'll find a huge roundabout which roads going all directions, including Shehyni. There's also a very nice hitchhiking spot 100m further off the roundabout, with a restaurant next to it and satisfying light installations for night hitchhikers.
