<map lat='58.371' lng='24.530' zoom='12' view='0' float='right'/> Pärnu small town in the south of Estonia - ca. 80 km from the border with Latvia.

Hitching in and around

Pärnu is a long coastal city with no ring road, so it is difficult and time-consuming to continue hitchhiking on the Via Baltica if you are dropped off at one end of the city or the other. If your driver will stop in Pärnu, try asking him to take you to the right exit for your onward route. Otherwise, you can take public transportation. Bus 19 runs between the north end of the city (Tallinn road) and the centre. Bus 40 runs between the south end of the city (Riga road) and the centre.

Hitching out

South towards Riga E 67

There are two good places in Pärnu for hitchhiking south towards Riga. If your location is near bus station or somewhere in northern part of Pärnu, walking through whole town is not a good idea. Rather going to Ehitajate tee where go cars straight south, not entering the city. Road is wide therefore comfortable for drivers to stop.

If you're in southern part of Pärnu, try to go through the town and wait behind the crossing to Sindi. Before this crossing is also a petrol station. Try to get a direct hitch to the border or further - no more good spots except a petrol station 20 km before the border, open 24 hours open and heaps of trucks, great for cold winter and late night hitches!

East towards Tartu, Viljandi

Same as for Riga. But 8km to south of Pärnu you need to turn left. There is no village or anyhing significant there, just a crossroad. Spot is locally knows as Uulu.
