=== South towards [[Marijampolė]] & [[Poland]] {{E|67}} ===
* 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 will see a petrol station. Unfortunately, there is a metal barrier in front of the petrol station that prevents any vehicle stopping at what would have been the ideal location for hitching. The alternative is to either hitch on the E67 slip-road/entrance road to the petrol station, or on the exit road from the petrol station. Keep in mind that traffic is mainly coming from a blind turn and sometimes pretty fast such that hitching before the petrol station can be a bit dangerous as this is also the slip road going onto the E67. Hitching on the exit road (as shown in the photo): there is room for a truck to stop, but usually by the time they see you, they are going quite fast. However, this is still the best place to hitch as you can also catch the slow moving petrol station traffic, most of which, unfortunately, is only going to Marijampole - be brave and turn these lifts down and hold out for one going directly to Poland. If you've ever tried to hitch from Marijampole or its bypass, you will understand perfectly. You might want to have a PL sign handy.
You can ask your driver to let you off right at border. If you walk back towards Lithuania from the border and make a left, you will get to a very large parking where loads of trucks are parked there. You may be able to get a ride to close to any country in Western Europe.
