'''Brno''' is the second largest city in the [[Czech Republic]].
== Hitchhiking Hitching in == === From [[Prague]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} === If your driver is not going to the city but continuing 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. At the Bratislava exit there is a shopping centre Avion with a free bus to the city centre. The driver can easily get back onto the D1 too by driving about 2 km. If driver is going toward Vienna or Bratislava it's quite clear where to get off. == Hitching out ==
=== Northwest towards [[Jihlava]], [[Praha]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
==== First option =====
This spot is quickly and easily accessible from various parts of Brno with hitchability from average to good. Find trolley-bus 25, 26 or 29 and get off at stop "Čtvrtě". From the bridge you can see big road to Prague. Go down and after 200 m there is smaller petrol station. Next to it is great place to hitchhike just a few metres from pump machines where you can ask people. Unfortunately on this lane often parks some truck or two so you can only hitchhike cars leaving station or ask.
If you get stuck here, you can try your luck in another spot which is quite close to this one. Walk towards the highway and the bridge over your road, climb up the bridge and follow the road NW until you see traffic lights and you can stand right after the lights where you get people from both directions.
This station is bigger than the one at first option, little bit harder to access, good hitchability.
Small petrol station OMV on the motorway near Bosonohy - almost without cars. To Bosonohy, bus stop "Hoštická" you can get by bus 69 (from Masaryk's University campus, or trams 6, 8 stop "Dunajská"). Then go little bit back to the main road and right. After 1,5 km you will see that station. Or from "Dunajská" you can go by bus 401 or 402 (you have to pay the driver; once an hour) to request stop "Tranzitní plynovod". Just few metres back and right is that petrol station.
==== Second 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]] {{rcz|52}}{{E|461}} ===
Take the free bus from behind Tesco, at the tram 2 stop 's 'Ořechovská'', to "Futurum Shopping the shopping center" (''obchodni centrum'') or tram 2 to Ořechovská (the Tesco stop)Futurum. The Tesco´s is near the main train station, and the free bus has its stop right near the pedestrain bridge between the two big buildings. Once you are at at the shopping center Futurum, you will find a Tesco gas station, but most of the people there are just staying in town. Better to So, walk south a few hundred meters couple of kilometres to the a Unicorn petrol station down the way or continue . You can hitch with a few more stops south with the tram (number 2 ?big!). Instead of holding a sign for reading "Wien" you could try or "Mikulov" as well. It is , the last city in the Czech Republic just right at before the border. There Cars are going very fast here, however, and don't have much room to stop, so you will find another gas might try alternating between thumbing on the road and asking drivers who stop at the Unicorn station and also good places for hitching with a sign.
=== Northeast towards [[Prostějov]], [[Olomouc]], [[Ostrava]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|462}} <br />+ east towards [[Kroměříž]], [[Zlín]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}} <br />+ east towards [[Uherské Hradiště]], [[Trenčín]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|50}}{{E|50}} ===
At the highway connection near tram 1 stop "Tylova".<br />
Both spots are probably better than Second option spot. [http://hitchwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Brno&action=edit§ion=11 Add more specific info please]
