=== West towards [[Katowice]], [[Wrocław]] {{Motorway Number Poland|4}} {{E|40}} ===
* '''From bus stop behind junction with traffic lights'''
From city centre center take tram 4, 8, 13 direction ''Bronowice Małe'' and get off at '''''Balicka Wiadukt''''' (one before the last one). Turn right (north), go down the stairs from the bridge and continue walking for about 700m till you get to the roundabout. Turn left (west) and hitch at the bus stop just behind the roundabout.
You can get to the spot also by many buses e.g 172, 238 and get off at '''''Motel Krak'''''.
There are streetlights which allow to hitchhike at night. It's better to write Katowice on your sign, not Wroclaw, seems to be easier to start. There are [[Toll station|toll booths ] and [[Petrol station hitchhiking|petrol stations ]] on the way to continue in the direction Wrocław/Dresden/Cottbus.
** '''Recent development:'''
For quite a few months now, the formerly excellent spot near Motel Krak, is undergoing extensive road reconstruction, which according to plans will lead to a giant sort of cloverleaf being constructed here. Although this would be a bad development for hitchhiking here, there is still very little known about how the busses buses are going to be rerouted, and considering it won't be upgraded to motorway standards, probably not even expressway standards, pedestrian access will likely still be possible, and it could very well be that there will be still some bus stops near this site after the reconstruction. For the time being, however, in my opinion, this site should be downgraded to {{bad}}/{{senseless}} in terms of hitchhiking.
* '''From [[Petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station ]] in city suburbs'''
From bus stop ''Motel Krak'' (see above) you can walk down the road for about 1.5km or take any bus in that direction and get off at the second stop called '''''Pasternik Cmentarz''''' (you have to press the stop button otherwise the bus won't stop). There's petrol station and small parking for trucks.
* '''From [[Toll station|toll booths]]'''From main railway station (Dworzec Główny Wschód) take bus 208 or 292 direction ''Port Lotniczy (Airport)''. If you take bus [http://rozklady.mpk.krakow.pl/aktualne/0208/0208rw01.htm 208] get off at '''''Balice Autostrada (NŻ)''''' (you have to press the stop button otherwise the bus won't stop). Walk back for about 30m and turn left (west). Continue walking, go over the motorway by the bridge from which you will see the toll booths. Here's the [http://www.pkt.pl/finddirections.ds?location=50.08418%2C19.80726&location=50.084%2C19.79184&routeStyle=PEDESTRIAN&tab=directions&locationType=latlng&locationType=latlng route] It's a bout 1.5km walk.
If you take the bus [http://rozklady.mpk.krakow.pl/aktualne/0292/0292rw01.htm 292] you have to walk a bit more (about 3km). Get off at the airport and follow this [http://www.pkt.pl/finddirections.ds?location=50.07193%2C19.80054&location=50.084%2C19.79184&routeStyle=PEDESTRIAN&tab=directions&locationType=latlng&locationType=latlng route].
There is also local train going to the airport from main railway station.
