Valid for Oradea in general: Since the motorway bypass opened, it is much more difficult to get in any direction. for Cluj, get to the bypass close to Osorheirating: 2/5

The traffic is way smaller than in Oradea - especially if you are looking for a long distance ride. I catch a truck directly to Poland, but I was a girl alone and usually I wait around 5-10min. The gas station just before the border is great for spending the night btwrating: 4/5, wait: 180 min 💬+🪧

I waited at the end at the exit of the gasstation to the motorway (that way i could try thumbing for both cars and all the trucks) with a sign for Szolnok, not many seemed to go that direction… finally though, i got a truck all the way to Oradea (Romania) :)rating: 3/5, wait: 70 min, ride: 258 km →

Did get a ride fairly easy, started at half past four p.m. and by five were on the way. There is enough space to stop if you want to. It's a good spot to catch workers leaving towards Oradea. hitched with no signrating: 4/5, wait: 16 min, ride: 157 km ←

If you start early enough (sunrise) it wont be so crowded, Look like a traveler with a Backpack and a Shield and its easy enough to get a ride to Oradea for free. If the driver enjoyed your company he might even drop you at the Border to Hungary if you ask politely!―Erth Walker, November 2015

With patience and some Luck you can get a ride to Oradea, Maybe Cluj. Much more traffic going to Arad though. If you are heading to the Northern part of Romania, consider going via Arad, once you're in Ro hitching will go much faster!―Erth Walker, November 2015

Bus stop outside Szajol, direction Debrecen-Oradea-Cluj, on the number 4 highway. I got here from Szolnok taking a bus to Torokszentmiklos (paid 370 forints, but if you pay for Szajol, must be less than that).From the centre of Szolnok, I walked East and then South over Tisza river (road 442, Kertesz ut.), then turned left at the roundabout and took a bus to T-miklos from a bus stop.

All the local people are hitchhiking from here towards Oradea. Be aware that there will be some guys which will offer you a ride for money, try to not accept it.―Anonymous, May 2015

Spot to hitchhike to Hungary, Slovakia, Poland. Its in the industrial area of Oradea so there are a lot of trucks who do long distances! You can take tram number 1n or 1r until the end.―Anonymous, April 2015
