[[File:Kns_to_vln.JPG|thumb|left|250px|Along the road towards [[Vilnius]]]]
When going to Vilnius the best way is to take buses 10, 16 or 28 and get out at the bus stop 'Parduotuvė'. Cross the street, there's a path to the motorway where is a bus stop. Another way is to take bus 37 or trolleybuses 7, 10, 15 or 16, get out at the bus stop 'Kauno saulėtekis'.Then cross the park, street and you'll reach Partizanų street and see the same bus stop called 'Parduotuvė'.
=== South towards [[Marijampolė]] & [[Poland]] {{E|67}} ===
The best way to get to [[Poland]] is to get to the petrol station on the A5 (E67) after Garliava (8km south of Kaunas). There are two ways to get to this hitching spot with public transport:
1. Mini-bus 105 goes from the train station to this petrol station so you don't need to walk.
Alternatively, you can get to the Statoil petrol station on the A5 (E67) north of Kaunas, where the highway from Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Baltic Way). Take bus 57 from the centre and get off at the terminus: '9-ojo Forto gatve'. From here, walk northwest in the direction of the A5 (E67) highway for 350m. Cross under the highway and then immediately turn left and climb up the grass embankment to the highway itself. There you will see the Statoil petrol station 100m ahead. You can hitch here or walk 1km or so further along the highway to find good spots to hitch. With a PL or Warsaw sign, you should easily get a lift from a truck to the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border checkpoint]] or further. Be aware that the border is now virtually non-existent, except for an occasional random check, so try to get a ride to at least [[Suwałki|Suwalki]] or [[Augustów|Augustow]].
If you are coming from the north and your driver is going into Kaunas or onto Vilnius, asked to be dropped off at the bus-stop (Devintas fortas) on the A1 just before the A1/A5 intersection. From here, you can walk 1.3kms to the Statoil petrol station.
