Quite far away from [[Vilnius]] there is a huge ''hypermarket'' next to the highway with a free bus to the centre.
===South towards [[Poland]], North towards [[Latvia]] or West towards [[Klaipeda]]===*When going The best way to get to [[Poland]] is to take mini bus 105 from the train station and to get off right after Garliava when you take will see a bus <!-- gas station.The HH conditions are fantastic: there is plenty of space for cars to stop in front of that gas station and cars are not driving that fast.You might want to have a PL sign in hand. which one I forgot --> You can ask your driver to the end of the routelet you off right at border. Make sure If you make it to walk back towards Lithuania from the Polish border. From there and make a left, you will easily find get to a very large parking where loads of trucks are parked there. You may be able to get a long rideto close to any country in Western Europe.

*Alternatively get a bus from the centre to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses), this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the border (or further). Be aware that the border is now virtually non-existant, except for an occasional random check, so try to get a ride to at least [[Suwalki]] or [[Augustow]].
===West towards [[Klaipeda]], North towards [[Latvia]]===
*Heading for [[Latvia]] you want to get on the [[Klaipeda]] road (the A1) and then turn onto the via Baltica (the A8). You can accept rides going to the split (20km) and then hitch past the split. From the split it should not take you more than 10min to get a ride. Whatever you do, try not to get dropped off on the [[Panevezis]] ring. [[Garthelgard]] got stuck there for more than 4 hours. There is a great gas station past the [[Panevezis]] ring and after the roads merge or a lot of space on the side of the road.
