| + | Take a bus no. 59 from center going to Zarya (Заря) all the way until the last stop. There are other buses going to Zarya as well, just ask. When you arrive, walk 100 metres more and you can start hitching. It's not a brilliant place since it is a big 3-lane road but it is okay, cars do not go super fast. |
| − | Take bus #45 from near the Shevchenko monument in the city center. Ask the driver to let you out at the stop for ''Avtostantsiya Nomer Dva'' '''(АС-2 - Автостанція №2)''', a bus station in the northern suburbs of Lviv. The driver will drop you off on a busy, wide road, where you just continue walking in the same direction for about 1 km until the beginning of road M-09 (E372) going to [[Rava-Ruska]] (Рава-Руська) and the border with [[Poland]]. This road is clearly signposted and once you turn off onto it, it's easy to find room to stop a car. | |
| | | | |
| − | You can also take a minibus from behind the Opera. There are a few lines going to AC-2 and some even further. If they turn left at the roundabout next to the big bus station stay, because then you don't have to walk. Best is to take a bus going to ''Мурованое'', then you can stay until the very beginning of the road M09 (you can recognize it easily, because there is a bridge). It is also possible to take the busses 31, 51, 53 and some others to Rynok Galickij Perekrestok ("рынок галицкий перекресток") to arrive at the same spot.
| + | Take a bus (24, 28,34, 45, 103, 104, 105, 107, 108, 112 and some others) going to Sedanka (Седанка), get off and walk forward along the road. Go under the bridge and there will be the stairs on the right. Go up and you're on the major highway going north! Walk north some 50 meters, there will be a spot with a shoulder to pull over |

| − | If you want to hitch towards Rzeszów and anywhere far away, you have at least two options. <br>
| |
| − | Both the [[Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing]] and the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]] are frequented by people driving long distances towards Kraków, [[Wrocław]] or Germany. The majority is local traffic though. Taking the ''Medyka-Shehyni border crossing'' is probably the faster option, as you can cross on foot (''not'' possible in Krakovets), which will save you the time needed to find a ride across the border, wait in the queue with them and undergo inspections of the car. Crossing on foot should be much faster.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To get to the ''Korczowa-Krakovets border crossing'', take bus #125 from the central train station to the last stop in Ryasny ruske (''Рясне-Руське''), walk a bit further until you're directly behind the road crossing where cars and even trucks have a lot of space to stop. <br>
| |
| − | Here the ring road traffic passes by as well. In case you get a ride until or over the border you can patiently stay there to find a long ride.
| |

| − | To get to the ''Medyka-Shehyni border crossing'' from the central train station, you have two options. <br>
| |
| − | First lazy one is to take the minibus, see under [[#Public Transport|Public Transport]].
| |
| − | Second option is to walk down the road from the train station, at the crossing walk to the right, pass the small local train station, follow the road for another 500m (along a gas station), and walk right again at the next crossing. There you'll find a bus stop which is easy and fine to hitchhike rides out of town, which otherwise would be some 2 or 3 km of walking at least. Let you bring to the "Metro" shopping center thing, there you'll find a huge roundabout which roads going all directions, including Shehyni. There's also a very nice hitchhiking spot 100m further off the roundabout, with a restaurant next to it and satisfying light installations for night hitchhikers.

All the buses stop in the middle of kinda market square. Look around, there must be a bus stop and a gas station hundred meters leftward and a bridge. Go under the bridge and walk 100m ahead.

This mini bus goes just to the circle road. You can walk east along the main road for about 0.5 km and start hitching after the big billboard which stand over the road. There is free place for cars to stop, nd visibility is also very good.

| − | Take a bus from the city centre to the shopping mall ''King's Cross–Leopolis''. (As of May 2014, this is bus number 10 and its starting point is the railway station) The mall is located just a few hundred metres north of the Lviv ring road. Walk south, cross the ring road, and hitch from alongside the first petrol station on your right; you can also ask drivers at the petrol station if you see a truck or car with a Czech or Slovak number plate. Only accept lifts that will take you as far as [[Striy]] (Стрий); writing [[Стрий]] might get you a lift quickly.

| − | The town of Mukachevo is where to turn if you are going towards the northwestern part of Romania.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also this direction is OK if you are going to [[Ivano-Frankivsk]]. In that case just reach Stryi and then hitchhike through [[Dolyna]] (Долина) and [[Kalush]] (Калуш) to Ivano-Frankivsk.

| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | But because of bad quality of this road there are not many cars with far destination point. A lot of people going to Ivano-Frankivsk (Івано-Франківськ) by car use E50/M9 reaching Mykolayiv (Миколаїв) or Stryi (Стрий) and then turning directly to Ivano-Frankivsk. For more details see Southern direction.

| − | You can get a marshrutka (minibus) from Western Bus Station to the closest Polish border point, the [[Medyka-Shehyni border crossing]], which is not far from [[Przemyśl]] in Poland and it is allowed to cross on foot. This minibus costs 80 UAH (year 2020, no credit card). Look or ask for one that says to 'Shegyni' (Шегині).

| − | If you look for a calm and safe place you may choose Vynnyky forest. To reach it take bus №50 from the Puppet Theatre (Lyalkovyi Teatr) and go by it to vul. George Washington. Then go out and move a little bit back to vul. Pasichna. Turn right (to the south) and go around 500 metres along the street looking to the left for an entrance to the forest. Then just find a place you like. The forest is a popular place for picnics at weekends and holidays, but further from the main trails it's not so typical to meet people and especially police.

| | | | |
| − | If you prefer a place close to the city center, there are few big parks in Lviv where it's possible to pitch a tent, like Vysokyi Zamok, Shevchenkivskyi Hay (not the museum but its "wild" part known in Lviv as Kaiserwald) or Pohulyanka. Sure this options provide some risks but if you'll find a relatively hidden place there's not much probability someone will bother you.
