Kyiv (Київ), also known as Kiev (Russian: Киев (Kiev)), is the capital of Ukraine.
Kyiv is a very big city, however it has a very efficient metro (underground) system, especially if you're hitching west,east or south.
Hitching out
East towards Kharkiv
Take the metro to Boryspolska (БОРИСПIЛЬСЬКА) station (the second last on the green line). There you find a huge roundabout - walk around the roundabout until you see the turn off to Kharkiv (XAPKIB). Walk down the road, and you'll probably see a lot of people also hitching there (there were around 40 last time some anonymous hitchhiker did it in the middle of winter); walk to the end of the queue and try to look like you're going a long distance - most people will only be going 30 or 40 km (having a conspicuous backpack helps). Cost to get there: 2 UAH (1 metro token, which is about 0,16 €)
South-East towards Dnepropetrovsk (M04)
Take the metro to Vydubychi (ВИДУБИЧІ) station (green line) and walk to the car market. Try hitchhiking there. Cost to get there: 2 UAH
West towards Rivne, Lviv (M06)
Take the metro to Zhytomyrska (ЖИТОМИРСЬКА) station (second last of the red line), from there you need to walk some kilometres. Attention: Girls be careful, in the evening there are prostitutes working, so tell to the driver that you are hitchhiking immediately! Cost to get there: 2 UAH. Hitchiking from here can take some time, as there is also a lot of local traffic, so in case you´re standing here for too long, take a marshrutka direction Zytomir, and hop off at the next village called Dmytrivka. Then you're already along the highway where most traffic goes long-distance. In addition to that, the bus stop is quite spacious, so trucks can more easily stop here than at the Zhytomyrska spot.
South towards Odesa (M05)
Get the metro Lybidska (ЛИБІДСЬКА) station (last one on blue line). When getting out of the metro, walk up the stairs and walk to the right. Follow the tunnel for 250m and go up the stairs there to the left. You might see the road to the left and little shops to the right. Walk this way up for 250-300m until you see the bus stop for trolley bus #2 (see picture).Take this one (#2) until the last stop Kibcentr (КІБЦЕНТР). There you'll find a police post, you can just hitchhike behind this post as there is a big bay for cars to stop. But take care, drivers tend to use the parking bay to overtake slow traffic along the road!
