Quite far away from [[When going to Vilnius]] there you take a bus to the motorway. There is a huge ''hypermarket'' bus stop ('''Maxima Baze'''look below) next to on the motorway with where it's possible to get rides, but it might also be a free bus good idea to not deal with the hitchhiking competition and place yourself at the centerentrance of the motorway.

=== East towards Vilnius ===When going to [[Vilnius]] you take a bus to the motorway. There is a bus stop (look below) on the motorway where it's possible to get rides, but it might also be a good idea to not deal with the hitchhiking competition and place yourself at the entrance of the motorway.{{European Route Number|85}} ===
=== South towards [[Poland]] {{E|67}} ===
* Alternatively get a bus from the center to IX Fortas (I think its bus 23 or 35 buses), this is the main road where the motorway to Vilnius joins up with the E67 (Via Baltica north and south) - with a PL sign you should easily get a lift from a truck to the [[Budzisko-Kalvarija border checkpoint]] or further. Be aware that the border is now virtually non-existent, except for an occasional random check, so try to get a ride to at least [[Suwałki|Suwalki]] or [[Augustów|Augustow]].
=== West towards [[Klaipėda|Klaipeda]], North north towards [[Latvia]] === * Heading for [[Latvia]] you want to get on the [[Klaipėda|Klaipeda]] road (the A1) and then turn onto the via Via Baltica (the A8). You can accept rides going to where the roads split (20km20 km) and then hitch past the splitthat point. From the split there it should not take you more than 10 min 10 minutes to get a ride. Whatever you do, try not to get dropped off on the [[Panevėžys]] ring. [[Garthelgard]] got stuck there for more than 4 hours.
There is a great petrol station a few hundred meters north from the northern junction of the [[Panevėžys]] ring and a lot of space on the side of the road.
