Pécs (Fünfkirchen in German) is a beautiful city in Hungary, near the Croatian border.

Hitching Out

North towards Budapest

When hitchhiking from Pécs to Budapest, take a local bus (240 Forint, roughly 1 Euro, but it's easy to blitz, just watch the controllers) to Budai Allomas bus stop. Although the road 6/E73 goes straight through Pécs, you simply won't get a ride inside the city. At Budai Allomas you'll get one fast.


South towards Sarajevo

When hitchiking from Pécs to Sarajevo take local bus 20 or 20A to the last stop. Walk to the main road, which is the 57 and hitch south in direction of Mohacs. Eventually you'll hit a roundabout where you can either go straight into the city of Mohacs or right towards Udvar - the border crossing from Hungary into Bosnia. Head towards Udvar. Rides are a bit sparse here and most heading that direction are actually heading into a back road of Mohacs, not to Udvar. So if your ride drops you off here, you'll have a more select audience if you walk a bit until you cross a bridge and pass the small road to Mohacs on the left. Once you reach the border crossing, there's quite a few trucks there you can catch a ride from.
