=== North-East, towards [[Mlada Boleslav]], [[Liberec]], [[Goerlic]] ===
You can hitch from a gas station on the E65. Take the metro line B (yellow) to the last station, Cerny Most. From there catch bus number 220 to the stop called Do Certous. When you get off the bus the gas station is behind the big orange bulding building with "H1" on it.
=== North, North-West, towards [[Dresden]], [[Berlin]] ===
You can also get to an easily reachable petrol station on the motorway getting north walking.
You must go to Letňanská (e.g. bus 186 or 233 from Palmovka). Then going down from the bus, you can see the entrance of the motorway straight ahead. Put yourself so you have the motorway on your right, then cross the street (going north then), and then the parkingsparking, and go behing behind the buildings, looking for a small bridge (“most” in czechCzech), going above the motorway. From there you will see the petrol station. There are not so many people stopping there, but they all are (almost) going in the good direction. Just ask if they are going north (“sever”) or if they can just let you on the next petrol station (“příští pumpa”/“prschieschtee pumpa”), where there will be normally more cars.
==== Second option ====
==== Third option ====
Use the third option, if you don't wan't want to go with so many bussesbuses. Just take the red metro line (C) to the terminal station Letňany and then walk from there to the spot marked by Fatidik. It is 300m walking from there. Walk to the street Tupolevova and at the first crossing left into the Beranovych until the end, then right and straight until you see a small walking path leading you to the service station. There are not so many cars and you may wait a little long if you are two male hitchers.
/////////////////// ==== Fourth - BEST Option //////////////////////====From the petrol station point described above simply walk 2km in the direction of the highway (Dresden/Berlin) and you will reach another OMV petrol station which has a Mc donaldsMcDonalds. This is way more populated spot, I only waited less than an hour to be picked up to be driven to Berlin.
=== West, towards [[Plzen]], [[Nürnberg]] ===
From metro Zlicin (line B, yellow), take bus nr 380 or 308 to Rudna. The village main road goes straight through it. Stop around the center of the village. You 'll see the higway motorway passing as a bridge on your right. It's about 5-10 min walking to the petrol station. Avoid going into Plzen or getting dropped off on the bypass. It's better to try to find a direct ride to [[Germany]] from the last petrol station before Plzen.
Another option is to take a tram to ''Motol'', that's where the motorway link starts. Not a perfect place, but cars are not too fast and there are quite a lot of Germans passing.
'''Another option''':
From metro "Zlicin" (line B, yellow) go the the crossroad on traffic lights, theres there's a bridge before (under the bridge are railways), so walk on the traffic light and stand right on the triangle, you can catch cars from both ways, they are going slowly there, and theres there's also a place to stop. Wee been waiting for 10 minutes there. look on the picture for details: [http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/7165/topilsen.jpg nice spot]
=== East, towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]], [[Kraków]] ===
From metro Opatov (line C, red) follow noise to the motorway. Walk along the road about 5 minutes, keep going over the crossroad and the bridge over the motorway (see second map). Now you might see other hitchhikers on the sliproadslip-road. Be careful and stay on the slip road, not on the motorway (sometimes police passes by). Average waiting time is less than one hour. From the bridge you can see the petrol station 'Újezd u Průhonic' – it's about 1.5 km by motorway, but it isn't a good place.

==== Second option ====
Use the petrol station, it is a good place, easier to reach and you'll get rides quickly. From metro Opatov (line C, red) climb the steps to the motorway. Look on the bus stop timetables for the stop “K Sukovu” on route 324, 363 or 385 (you are going south, the buses should leave every 15 minutes, and you can use the same ticket that you got on the metro). Get to K Sukovu – you'll know you're there when you see the petrol station to your right. From K Sukovu walk in the direction the bus is going for about 500m. After you cross the motorway bridge, the petrolstation petrol station is on your right. This is a perfect spot! (MF)
[[User:tmoon|Tom]] shared this spot with about 20 other hitchhikers during a race in April 2007 (most started at the sliproad slip-road spot described above, but just got dumped at this petrol station). While his teammates fell asleep on the grass for 3 hours (!), he was able to chat with other hitchhikers and drivers, and get ride offers towards [[Brno]], [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]], [[Vienna]] and [[Kraków]]. The average waiting time was 20–30 minutes, plus there were several truck drivers promising longer lifts after a few hours' rest.
==== Third option ====
If you're lazy walking long ways till you reach the hitchspothitch-spot, you should try option three:
* Take Metro C till '''Chodov'''
