Valmiera

Valmiera is a city in Latvia.

Hitching out

South/West towards Riga(LV), Sigulda (LV)

Sorry about the non-descriptiveness, but the road name says it all really.

Riga

You'll be hitching from Rigas Iela (Rigas Street) towards Riga There are two options here:

1.) Take the local bus from the bus station in town to the last bus stop along Rigas Iela.

2.) Walk to the last bus stop along Rigas Iela in the direction of Riga.

Either way, this is the place to hitch. I got a lift within 5 minutes while holding a sign.

Sigulda

If hitching to Sigulda, get off at Ragana

For both locations, do not bother attempting to hitch any closer from in Valmiera than this last bus stop, as I did... and it wasted over an hour of my time.

Enjoy!
