Contents
Hitching Out
West towards Sibiu, Serbia, Belgrade
Get the metro to Pacii (note the metro is a bit crazy - if you're not careful the trains change lines without warning and you can end up at Gare Du Nord again!). From Pacii you have to find the main road going west, and go to the first bus stop. Get the first bus that says Carrefour and go all the way to Carrefour shopping centre, this is the start of the motorway. There's a part where the fence is broken and you can access the motorway here - it's actually a very good spot to hitch, since traffic coming from the big shopping centre stops here.
South towards Sofia, Bulgaria
Take the M2 metro in direction of IMGB. Get off at Eroi Revolutie and look for the City Mall, walk towards it and you will see that the road forks. Take the right fork, the road will be called Giurgiului. This road will lead directly out of Bucharest and South to Giurgiu and Ruse. Although there are many places to hitch from I would recommend walking at least to the city boundary in order to maximise hitch potential. Its either an hour walk or a case of catching one of the many trams or buses which follow this road out of the city.
North, East towards Slobozia, Constanţa (Black Sea Coast) and Danube Delta
Take the metro to Obor Square (Piatza Obor). From Obor ask someone te show you the direction to Europa/Dragonul Roshu (Red Dragon - Bucharest Chinatown) or take the tram #21 to the same direction. After two stops you'll see an agricultural plane in the middle of intersection and you know you're in right direction. From the end of the line walk on same direction until you're on the bridge. It is advisable to have a cardboard with your destination. From this point you'll go to Urziceni (where you'll find an alternative route to Ploiesti and Prahova Valley), [[Slobozia||, Ţăndărei/Chirana (a crossroad 10 km from town, routes to Brăila/Galaţi and Tulcea), Hârşova (routes to Tulcea/Danube Delta and Constanţa).
