Valmiera

Valmiera is a city in Latvia.

Hitching out

Towards Riga

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

• Take the local bus from the bus station in town to the last bus stop along Rigas Iela
• Or 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.

Towards Sigulda

If hitching to Sigulda, same steps as for Riga, but get off at Ragana and hitch to Sigulda from there.

---

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!
