Novi Sad (Serbian: Нови Сад) is a city in Serbia, the largest city of the province Vojvodina.

Hitching out

North towards Subotica, Budapest (Hungary)

Take city bus no. 1 from the centre, towards Klisa suburb (bus stop in front of Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište)). Get off at the last station. The street is called Sentandrejski put. Head straight down the same road for another 15 minutes, until you reach a big crossroads with the motorway. Keep walking in the same direction for another 20 minutes after the crossroads, and hitchhike from there.

South towards Belgrade

It is best to take the old road to Belgrade instead of the motorway. The hitchhiking generally works better there and there's no risk of police making you problems. Take city bus no. 3 or 9 (bus stop across the street from "Bazaar" shopping mall in the city centre, on Mihailo Pupin Boulevard. Get off at the last stop and hitchhike right from there, about 30 meters from the bus stop. The place doesn't look like a good hitchhiking spot, but it works fine, maybe even better than the motorway.

If you want to go by the motorway, take city bus no. 5 (bus stop in front of the Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište). Get off at the last station, then walk straight ahead. After about 200 meters you'll bump into the motorway. Head straight for Temerin and Becej, right for Belgrade (wait in front of the parking adjacent to the huge gray shopping mall).

West towards Backa Palanka, Croatia

It is not easy to get out of the town in the direction of Backa Palanka and the Ilok border post (towards Vinkovci, Vukovar, Osijek), because the city ends about 15 km from the centre, so walking is not advised.

Take bus no. 54 to the nearby town of Futog (bus stop across the street from the Futoska pijaca green market, on the crossroads of Futoska Street and Bulevar Oslobodjenja; the ride takes approx. 15 minutes). Near the town centre there's a gas station, a good hitchhiking spot.

The other option is to take bus no. 7 (same bus station across the street from Futoska pijaca market), and get off just before it turns right (you can't know when it will turn right, so just take off after the turn, and then walk back to the main road). There's a city bus depot there, so just hitchhike in front of it.

Public Transport

Controllers in buses are strict and you can never notice them. They are not wearing uniforms and you can't skip paying the fee.
