'''Sarajevo''' is the Capital of [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]].

'''Odessa''' or '''Odesa''' (Ukrainian: Одеса; Russian: Одесса; Romanian: Odesa; Greek: Οδησσός; Yiddish: אדעס ) is located in southern [[Ukraine]]. The city is a major seaport located on the shore of the Black Sea and the fourth largest city in Ukraine with a population of 1,000,000.

=== North towards [[Mrkonjic-Grad]] or [[Banja Luka]], [[Croatia]] ([[Osijek]]), [[Hungary]] ===

=== North to [[Uman]], [[Kyiv|Kiev]] (M05/E95) ===
To hitch north take tram #3 towards the southern outskirts of the town [[Ilidza]]. The road north is marked with a sign towards Mostar and [[Zenica]]. Show the tram driver Zenica on a map and he'll tell you which stop to get off on. You'll see an overpass that looks like a freeway on-ramp. Get up on that road and then walk north about 1km past a grocery store on the right. That will get you past much of the inner-city traffic and to places with more open area for cars to stop.
 
 
 
Second advice: take bus #23 to the last stop, ''Rajlovac''. It gets you on the main road out of town, too, but a bit more north than tram #3. You then nearly don't have to walk.
 
 
 
Road and motorway numbers change often and/or are not posted along the way, so once you get out of town, to get to Mrkonjic-Grad and Banja Luka, head towards Travnik, then Jajce. For Pecs, towards [[Tuzla]].
 
 
 
Note from [[User:nalddo|Nalddo]]: ''If you use the spot above, you will first have to hitch to a junction North of town where the road splits in two. You can get to this junction directly. From downtown, take bus 21 to the last stop, in Vogosca. From there, continue walking a few minutes on the road until you reach a bridge. This is where the road M18 to [[Tuzla]] and motorway A1 to [[Zenica]] split. You can thumb easily to either direction. To hitch on the highway, I recommend walking a few more minutes to reach the toll station''
 
 
 
This advice from Nalddo is very good, we used in May,2013. When you go out on last bus station you just walk north pass petrol station on right side(I ask on petrol station and staff told me that we can hitchhike there but it is best place after bridge on junction on right side and we catch ride there. If you are going to Tuzla like we did, there is no pay toll, so when you come to junction just hitchhike on right side and this is way to Tuzla you can not miss it. If you need to go to Zenica, than you need to go left on junction, walk a few minutes follow sign for Zenica and than come to pay tolls and hitchhike there.

=== Southwest towards [[Mostar]], [[Croatia]] ([[Dubrovnik]]) {{E|73}}, M-17 ===
 
 
 
From the city centre, take tram three in the direction Ilidza. After about 15 minutes, get off at the stop right after a small group of petrol stations located to your left and right. There is a bus stop here where you can stop a car, and as it is just after a stoplight cars will not be going very fast. Because of the large amount of suburban traffic, using a sign is recommended.
 
 
 
Another way to get Mostar. Actual for March 2015. Take the tram to Ilidža and go until the last stop. From there every 30-50 min you can take a bus to Hadžići direction. Then everything depends from your hitchhiking passion and the bus routes:) Price for any distance is the same: 1.60 KM. You can leave your bus at Hadžići and hitchhike along M17/E73 towards A1 and then towards Mostar. Otherwise if bus is going to Tarčin, you can go by bus as much as you can, pass Tarčin and leave the bus on the road near Donja Raselica. So you will meet no suburban Sarajevo traffic. There will be the way to Mostar.
 
  
=== East towards [[Serbia]] {{E|761}} ===
+
Take trolleybus #8 or small yellow bus #208 in front of the Railway Station (McD's). Take direction to the Central Autostation, exit the trolleybus on station Khimichna (остановка Химическая or зупинка Хiмiчна) and walk right. You'll see main street Grushevskogo (Грушевского). Cross this street and turn left. You will see your spot. Best is to hitchhike from there with sign "КИЕВ" (Kyiv)
  
To go east take the tram to Baščaršija and you will see the road which seems to go into the hills along the river. Before the river makes a sharp turn right, is a nice spot opposite a petrol station and the Haris Youthhostel on Bentbaša Street 11
+
Take bus 84 from in front of the Central Railway Station. Ask the ticket seller for the stop '''Kievskaya trasa'''. From near the stop you can see a road signposted for Kiev.
  
=== Southeast toward [[Montenegro]] ===
+
Participants of the 789 Festival found this a challenging direction to hitchhike, with waiting times typically around 3-5 hours. The road soon becomes a modern motorway where cars are moving far too quickly to stop, so you cannot be easily dropped off and continue onwards. Try to get a lift all the way to your destination.
  
There are two options:
+
A good '''alternative option''' seems to hitch from the '''WOG service station''' right at the motorway to Kyiv, located about 1 km from Khimichna/Grushevskogo. We caught a ride straight to Kyiv from there in the middle of a summer night. The service station was pretty busy even at that time, offering all kinds of amenities like free wi-fi and toilets.
  
The first one: Walk  from Bačaršija to the street Garaplina that goes uphill. At the end of Garaplina, there will be a traffic light. This is the intersection with Mladih Muslimana street, which is leaving the city in the direction of Montenegro. Hitch at the traffic light or from the petrol station 50 m further down the road.

Go in the direction Trnovo and Foća, avoid Goražde because there is not much traffic there. At border with Montenegro on Hum crossing there are not many cars, but you can catch ride there and road to border is very bad, full of holes. (Ask drivers on the border).

====Option 1====
  
Second option: If you want to go direction Trnovo and Foća from Bačaršija you can take the tram #3, #4 or #6 (you can take this tram illegaly for free) towards the southern outskirts of the town [[Ilidza]], and you go out in Stup. Climb to the big road crossing the avenue and you follow it to the right (M18 direction Foća, South). After few meters the road has only one lane in each direction. There are some wide parts of the road good for hicthhiking, but a bit later there is a petrol station where you can ask the drivers, if you prefer.
+
On the M15 just after the Dva Stolba roundabout. It's a huge roundabout with a monument in the middle, called "dva stolba" that people are familiar with by name. It is a busy bus stop for Marszrutkas where locals also hitch rides. You may want to go up the road a few meters to get away from the crowd. You can also take M16 to Chisnau (next road just to the north), but be aware that you will pass through [[Transnistria]].

Hitchhiking out

Cross this street and turn left. You will see your spot. Best is to hitchhike from there with sign "КИЕВ" (Kyiv)

Take bus 84 from in front of the Central Railway Station. Ask the ticket seller for the stop Kievskaya trasa. From near the stop you can see a road signposted for Kiev.

Participants of the 789 Festival found this a challenging direction to hitchhike, with waiting times typically around 3-5 hours. The road soon becomes a modern motorway where cars are moving far too quickly to stop, so you cannot be easily dropped off and continue onwards. Try to get a lift all the way to your destination.

You can also take M16 to Chisnau (next road just to the north), but be aware that you will pass through Transnistria.
