Hitching out

South towards Miskolc (HU) E 79 E 71

When heading for Hungary you will see that the border is quite close, with not many towns on the way. Take tram 3, 4, 7 or 9, or buses 12, 34, 31 or 38 to VSS Križovatka station, which is under a bridge. Then continue walking on the road going south, in the opposite direction from the city center -- this is the only road to hungary)-- or take tram 4 for two more stops. After walking for a while you will see on your right a large statue of the Pope, with a nice empty bus station to hitchhike from. It's best to hold a large H sign.

If you wish to continue to Budapest or other points, try to avoid entering Miskolc and instead ask your driver to drop you out before the road becomes highway, and continue from there.
