== Hitching in ==
=== From [[Prague]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
If your driver is not going to the city but continue on this motorway, you can ask him to leave the motorway at the Vienna exit, and turn right onto a smaller road after 150 m. This road then leads under the large street ''Vídeňská'', where there is a tram stop. The driver can drive on to a roundabout and easily get back onto the D1.
If driver is going toward Vienna or Bratislava it's quite clear where to get off.
=== From [[Vienna]] {{RczDcz|52}}{{European Route NumberE|461}} ===
If your driver is not going into Brno, ask him/her to drop you off at the "Futurum" shopping centre on the motorway. There you will find a free bus to central Brno.
=== From [[Bratislava]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|2}}{{E|65}} ===
If your driver is not going into Brno, you can jump off either at the "Olympia" or "Avion" shopping centre on the motorway. From both you will find a free bus to central Brno.
=== From [[Olomouc]], [[Kromeriz]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}} ===
'''If the driver continues to Prague''' jump off at OMV petrol station at the end of Brno (Starý Lískovec). There '''don't''' go though the appletree plantation - it is too complicated. Easier way is more hidden - go back next to the highway for about 300 m and then there is a path going under the motorway. Go left and you'll get to the town (and public transport) in 5 minutes.
== Hitching out ==
=== Northwest towards [[Jihlava]], [[Praha]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
==== First option ====
Bigger petrol station Shell on the motorway near Popůvky. A bit further from Brno (3 km after the Third option) but almost all cars go to Prague or even further. Take bus 401 or 402 (↑↑) to the "Popůvky - Vintrovna" stop. Continue on the main road 850 m and there is the spot. You can also walk & hitchhike to this place from Bosnohy.
=== South towards [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|2}}{{E|65}} ===
==== First option ====
This is probably a much better one than the first option. Take bus 40, 48, 59, 67 or the free "Avion bus" and get off at Hněvkovského. Walk 450m in the direction the bus was going (if you took the bus from the city center). After passing a crossroads with traffic lights, you will see a gas station. Now you can choose whether you approach people that stop at the gas station or stand at the beginning of the fairly long driveway to it.
=== South towards [[Vienna]] {{rczDcz|52}}{{E|461}} ===
==== First option ====
There is a nice spot for hitchhiking just next to the tram 2 stop "Ústřední hřbitov" where you can hitch south to Vienna or just to the next petrol station. When you get off the tram just go on the main street and then turn right 100m and you will find a nice place to stop cars. Keep in mind that this spot is not on the main road so there's a litle smaller trafic.
=== Northeast towards [[Prostějov]], [[Olomouc]], [[Ostrava]] {{Motorway Number Czech RepublicDcz|1}}{{E|462}} <br />+ east towards [[Kroměříž]], [[Zlín]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}} <br />+ east towards [[Uherské Hradiště]], [[Trenčín]] {{National Road Number Czech RepublicNcz|50}}{{E|50}} ===
==== First option ====
'''Good for Uherské Hradiště.''' Take a bus 33 from Hlavní nádraží (train station) and go to stop "Slatina sídliště" (terminal). Go right and you will see a roundabout 50 m ahead. Cross it straight and hitchhike there. Usually you get first car to Slavkov u Brna and then second car to Uherské Hradiště or further.
=== North towards [[Pardubice]], [[Hradec Králové]] {{National Road Number Czech RepublicDcz|43}}{{E|461}} ===
There are several good spots and hitchhiking is easy in every village/town on the way.
