Ferry is often free for pedestrians, but basically no traffic going south/greece in late september

Bad for direction south/Greece, took a bus (100lek) to Butrint

Do not hesitate to stand in the middle of the roundabout

Amazing spot, we went as a couple and with extreme luck found a ride in under 5 minutes to Theth.

Constant traffic direction Himarë/Dhërmi. Not super much space to stop but still doable. Also lots of strand bars nearby if you want to grab a drink 😉

Seems like a good spot, waited for 50minutes then decided to give up. On the way a taxi stopped and wanted 2000all to Pogradec, the most i could do was 700 and a cigarette. He accepted

A little bit down the road there is also a bus stop where you could wait, but you can easily wait at the roundabout, cars go slow, a cute little parking bay and even a little food truck there.

Despite what hitchhikers wiki tells you this is NOT a good spot. Traffic goes very fast, dangerous to stay by the highway, not many cars stop for the patrol station (but you can ask around there and by chance get lucky).

We waited for about an hour for somebody to pick us up to Shkodër. I recommend standing there at the times the ferry arrives from Fierze (sep 26: 3pm). Then there are many cars driving by but otherwise there is not too much traffic.

Had to cross the highway which was a little scary but i managed Industrial area and lots of cars, around 17:00 everybody going home and many people to Tirana, because of that also some traffic jam so enough time for people to pull over

Not great spot, not much room, but I got lucky and a guy who wanted to thought i was just going to shkoder outskirts brought me all the way to right before Tirana

Many cars going, 4th car pulled up and gave me a ride to Shkoder

great spot, many cars going by, first car that passed me stopped and brought me all the way to Theth

Few cars but high visibility and kind locals

Took us to koplik

Most cars going to Saranda. They have enough place to stop. Got a ride by a guy from our hometown in Germany

A lot of traffic going into the direction of Saranda. A lot of toursim cars though, like Hotels and whatever.

Cars are going to fast and can‘t really stop. Watch out that you dont get ran over. Have to get lucky I guess

Just one road but a lot of cars are tourism for rafting and stuff. Got taken by a policeman

Ok spot, but probably the best one around. We were three and caught a ride all the way to Albania.

Nice place to go to albania, although the traffic was low, we got a ride to elbasan (2male)

Solo female. I asked my previous ride to drop me off here so I can get another ride into the national park. Traffic was very very light here at the NP entrance for the first 30min of waiting, then a bunch of cars came from the Albania direction. But many were unwilling to take me However, the fee station guy also nicely helped me ask (in Macedonian), and he found me a couple who took me to the Koritski Rid viewpoint. I just asked a car at the viewpoint to take me back down when I was done

still the best spot to get from koper in south directiom, unfortunately the driver didnt want to make a roadtrip to albania with us so he tool us atleast to pula.

Can‘t really recommend if you want to get to the border/Albania - Try at the roundabout down the road instead. Was dropped of here after I was told that it will be easy to get a next ride here from the guys who brought me here. Got a sign with „AL“ and „Shkadar“ and tried for about half an hour by directly asking people at the gas station with nobody going anywhere else than Ulcinj itself or towards the other direction to Bar or even willing to take me. The gas station was very full though, but workers were super Slow. Sun was absolutly brutal with about 40 degrees hot air so I could just stand in a small shadow from a gas station sign at the edge of the street but unlucky for me some big ass travel busses decided to somehow block the entry of the gasstation and the street so cars has to go slowly around them and couldnt really see me anymore. (Even when thats not the case, you better go to the gasstation itself or before or After it, cause directly Next to it people can’t pull over cause its locked of with some sort of barriers.) Decided to Walk towards the roundabout more south at the street to catch more people actually going to Albania/Shköder - worked way better :)

Ideally placed to get out of Podgorica, towards Albania. I stood right after the roundabout, there was room for the cars to pull over and even some shade from the road sign. I had a sign reading “Albania”. Had to wait quite a bit but going to Tirane that was worth the wait.

Very good spot towards Budva/Bar or if you are on your way to Albania! Right after the gas station and before the beginning of the tunnel, lots of space for cars to pull off easily. Was taken after 3 minutes my a Bosnian couple going towards Petrovacna between Budva and Bar :) (Late afternoon of a sunny monday in the summer - single male on the way to Albania with a sign „AL“ and another saying „Bar“)

Quite good spot, you got some shadow and are located right after the roundabout with cars possibly going in the direction of Ulcinje/Albania. Despite that there was somehow apparently not soo many traffic to Albania -lot of local license plates, and people turning into the parking lot to go shopping. Sign with AL/Shkadar - collected two middlefingers with that :) (the majority of people in that part of Montenegro don’t seem to like Albania the most). Was waiting for around 1 hour, until getting taken by some french family turning in from the parking lot on to the street and going to Ulcinj :) (Eventhough I thought people would go via the shortcut (R-29 road) to go from Bar to the Albanian border it seems like the majority is going the longer way through Ulcinj, so you maybe will be more successfull with a „Ulcinj“ sign)

Probably the best spot to Shkodër/the Albanian border, but I was still waiting some time, cause somehow nobody stopped. 2 cars offered to take me to the border for 10€ though. A bit of shadow if you stand directly behind the roundabout, otherwise you standing in the brutal sun :) Good space to pull over, cause there is a small shop at the road, where people stop to buy something to drunk or to Go to the bakery/fruit shop at the other side of the road. Was given some water by some locals, which were also waiting for some sort of local bus there :) After waiting for over an hour with no success, I just asked one of the cars, which stopped at the small shop if they maybe drive to Shkodër, and for my lucky suprise they Did :) 2 very friendly Albanians from Shköder, drove to the border, walked over without even getting my passport checked and switched cars there (he got 2 - one for each country, to skip the line at the border). They let me out at the center of Shköder after stopping at quite some stores on the way, to buy all possible attachments for water tubes that probably exist in whole of Albania - very nice :)

Very quickly were picked up by a driver who eventually spent the whole day with us traveling around South of Albania

I was lucky to have a car to Albania here, there is no much cars but you can speak to people and I think it's better in Greece because they're afraid of hitchhiking. The two girl form the gas station are so nice, they offered me a bottle of water :)

Super easy to hitch a ride in Albania. This spot doesn't look promising at first (it's next to an abandoned lot) but I stood just before the petrol station and was quickly picked up by a family going to Koplik for lunch. Then at Koplik I was dropped off at a roundabout leading onto the road to the Hani i Hotit border crossing. There was picked up within 1 minute and brought all the way to Podgorica.

Most people will go to Albania/Skhöder I tried at the exit of the town but no space ro stop and no shade. At the roundabout people might not notice you but shade and shops nearby. Got a ride from People going to Tirana to my Hostel in Skhöder. 1m Sunday 10AM

Long wait no pick up. People stare u down while driving? Strange, worst place in Albania for hitchhiking so far for me

Great spot, cars move slow. Someone tried to offer me a ride for 5 euros but that’s really not the idea lol I got a ride 20 min after . Sign with “Albania”

tourists going to Albania, I got of at ulcinj. Had a Sign with “South” on it.

we waited a bit at the roundabout before but a local man suggested to go here because all the albanias go shopping here, worked out quite well, had a sign with albania (1girl 1boy)

A lot of cars, going quite slow, a minibus took us to Albania. Stand with sign

Picked up by Albania to sarande

Thumbing and walking on side ride into Albania
