We tried to get a lift and we didn't succeed, the morning after we got a lift in 30min, if there is traffic I would suggest you to wait until it get quiet so people have more time to stop

Perfect place for Makarska/Dubrovnik. I get there with nr60 buss. There is alot of space for cars to stop, drivers slov down on turn. Also for hich-hikers in summer there is some trees for shade. After 20 minutes of waiting, a couple picked me up to Makarska and offered me a place to stay.

That's very good spot to Trebinje. About 3-5pm there is a lot of people going back from work in Dubrovnik. This spot is also used by locals, there was like 4 guys hitchhiking, so I went down to Kaufland for some shopping, when I came back there were gone and I get a ride in about 10min. To get there I walked from Dubrovnik old town, there is an old road between the sea and main road. Quite long uphill walk, but views are amazing and spot for hitchhiking is worth it also.

I spent a night in a tent on Velki Zal beach, really nice spot. In the morning it was easy to get a ride to Dubrovnik, only con is that there is a curve and drivers can see you in last seconds.

It's not great, but it was the best place for me to stop from other ride. Also I took a break and visited a beach just below this parking and it was quite nice. To get more cars I was standing on the exit ramp from main road to parking, it is illegal in this road, but whatever, it worked. Cars are going really fast downhill, but it's manageable. I think in summer season the best way would be to just ask people who stopped on a break, it looks like quite popular viewpoint.

Previous driver left me there and recommended this bus stop to hike. It's really good, a lot of traffic, good visibility, decent place to stop - classic hitchhiking

―mandat, October 2025

There is no good place for drivers to stop on this road. There is a barrier for like kilometers, so I used small crossroad and it worked good. I had sign Opuzen and I recommend it. It should be quite easy to get to main road in Opuzen and then you can go to Dubrovnik/Split

Classic gas station. It would be a good spot, but croatians dont take hitchikers.

It's not a good place for a couple we waited a whole afternoon then slept here in tent on the next morning we found a truck driver who took us to Croatia. If you are alone it can be good there are some trucks there and most of them willing to take one person. ou can go to Slovenia or croatia from here but come here only if you are alone.

It was July and many people were driving to Croatia etc. so it was very hard to find someone who have a free place :( It's always better to ask drivers for a ride. In July it's 1/5 star

Good Spot to go to Croatia but you need some time, I stood at the exit with a sign Zagreb Lubljana, possible to sleep near the River

There was no one going towards Slovenia or Croatia. Everyone was local people, and on top of that the gas station was under reconstruction. Only the McDonald's was open, but even there it was just locals.

Worst place you can find for hitchhiking. We waited here for more than a day in the summer. Every car is rather full of families returning from vacation or refugees with car from switzerland. We had a cardboard saying Hrvatska, then we switched to Croatia, then we just asked people, but nobody wanted to take us or they had full car. After day on this gas station it seems like spawn for refugees with expensive cars. Stay in Belgrad instead, it's a nice city

Its okey place to go in direction of Croatia, Cacak or Novi Sad. After 40 min with sign "Novi Sad" we got a ride where we needed.

Not much traffic to Croatia, many full cars and families, most going North East, finally got a Swedish couple to take three of us Southish, where I got out at Novo Mesto to try my luck again for Zagreb.

Lots of traffic due to a 2cv citroen car festival. It meant a lot of the traffic was local but there were also cars going further. I was picked up by a smart car. My first time in a smart car - they're bigger than you think! Driver took me past where he was going and dropped me at the border crossing for Croatia.

Not sure about this spot, but we (2 people) catched a ride with a sign with woman going on vacation to croatia. Guess you have to be lucky here

Only gas station when you want to get out of the city direction south. We had no other option so we stayed there more than two hours, many people going to Hungary or west of croatia. At the end we were just super lucky and one guy took us to huge highway parking place behind Dakovo

―Kamionpicokamion, July 2025

croatia joined schengen in 2023 so this border is no longer strictly controlled and cars might be more willing to pick you up. but still, if you can, try get dropped at the service station before this one. we might have been here longer but we got a ride quick enough to zagreb from someone going to bosnia.
