Gas station staff approached the customers and was very friendly. I stood parallel to the street. Could have even gone to Sofia, but just wanted to go to the other side of the border. Were not many cars but not 5 minutes waited.rating: 5/5, wait: 5 min, ride: 30 km →

It was really slow on a saturday, but I think I just had bad luck. At first I tried to get to Sofia directly, after an hour I switched to Niš and hitched directly from the sidelane of the highway, which worked fine. There are a lot of trucks and enough cars, so I think in general its a good spot during work days, on the weekend there was mostly local traffic and trucks on a break though. Has a restaurant too.rating: 4/5, wait: 5 min

Gas station with traffic. Mode of it goes to Romania but you have to be lucky and keep asking. I asked to the Serbian border and they ended taking me to Sofia (BG). You won’t have a better spot anywaysrating: 4/5, wait: 30 min 💬, ride: 608 km ↘

Just before the petrol station. It's a good spot to get a ride to the main road west of Bansko, and also to Sofia(I got it in 10 minutes).rating: 5/5, wait: 10 min, ride: 118 km ↑

The best place for going to Bulgaria along a route which is not too frequented. I stayed at the barrier and simply asked drivers with Bulgarian numbers (not big letters BG, which is Belgrade) while they were paying their tickets. Toll workers don't pay attention, but be respectful of course. This way got direct drives to Sofia even in the evening!rating: 4/5, wait: 20 min

The border is a great place to get a ride into Bulgaria! Many trucks, easy to go to Sofia. I didn't even need to ask, just started talking with the truck drivers, and one offered me a ride!rating: 5/5, wait: 0 min, ride: 74 km ↑

The best place in our opinion! Were hitchhiking in a couple (a guy and a girl), with a sign written in Bulgarian [София моля те :) - Sofia, please :) ] and literally stopped a car in 1 minute. Stand on the little corner after the semaphore so that not only cars that go straight to highway could see you, but also the ones turning to the left.―Martinio, June 2016
