Really good place for some reason, was not expecting that but someone picked us up instantly :)

We were 2 males, very early morning so it took a while because traffic was low, but in theory a perfect spot for cars to stop going south towards Lithuania and Bauska. Got a ride with sign ”Lietuva” to Bauska

Bad spot right now as there is major roadwork, I think most cars going south use the other road, but technically HH is possible here as the cars don’t go too fast. We walked to a nearby Virsi rest stop where we got a ride in roughly 20 mins

Got a quick ride asking around, driver took us to a better place for hitchhiking, but it turns out this place had major roadwork so cars had no space to stop. We walked to a nearby Virsi truck rest stop for 5 km

lots of locals but one of many bus stops along the way to Latvia. Didn't go far but there was just another bus stop so no problem

Lots of locals but it's one of the many many big bus stops along the way to Latvia. Nothing to complain about:)

all traffic going towards the border goes this way. At night so it took a while but good spot

4 people :)

Had no luck getting a ride straight to Tallinn, but it's a good spot

Friendly local took us (4 people!) to a better spot and gas station :)

perfect spot in theory, but no one stopped. tried thumb, tried sign with Tallinn and sign with EST. ended up taking the bus closer to the border to filter out local traffic more, but if you wait longer you can definitely get a ride north.

brilliant spot. traffic lights before are inconvenient for drivers. was planning to go to kaunas or poland, but was instantly offerred a right to vilnius.

great spot, no complains

indeed good spot for getting out of riga, but sign IS NECESSARY, I was standing with thumb and failed my route.

Ask around from the truckers stopping here to take you further, if you get lucky you can find a direct ride to Estonia, all of the lorries here go distance, but you have to be lucky in timing because this parking next to the petrol station only can have about 2-3 trucks at once stopping.

Towards well Adaži, thought I'd try this bus stop/driveway for once for the honor of the Baltezers cyclist, however it does not work really and if you are here, agree with any car that goes further, even if it's just to Adaži, you'll be stuck here otherwise, wait times of 30-100 minutes expected

Towards north, sort of Latvian middle of nowhere magic applies to this spot also, uncomfortable for cars to stop, but you'll still get a car within 15 minutes

Towards Ogre, poor bus stop, wait times of 60+ minutes expected, for some reason getting a car going out further on A6 never works

Added this here too, since the other spot I had was only for the traffic coming from southbound, don't get the other negative review, as both a bit further south or here, I have always caught a car relatively fast, the most I have ever waited here was 25 minutes, more likely to get a car within 5-15 minutes, just use common sense and dont even think about stopping lorries

A lot of space for cars to stop, traffic lights help a lot, got a ride to Riga in 10 minutes with a sign ”Latvia”

Indeed ideal spot for going basically anywhere towards Riga or major cities in Latvia, as well as even further south, wide enough bus stop to have a lorry stop, decent street lights for the darker times, okay amount of traffic, wait times of 10-25 minutes expected

Tough spot. Not a busy gas station but you can hitch the road from the gas station exit. Didn't have any luck to Latvia from here, only found a ride to the next village. If you wait long enough, getting to Riga shouldn't be a problem though.

Stood at the end of the gas station to catch the road + people leaving the station and quickly found a ride a bit forwards. Probably better to get a ride to Latvia from here though, than to get shorter ones.

Fast speeds but a lot of traffic. Good for Klaipeda but also north towards Latvia. Have a big sign. I had "LV" written and it took me on the right road but not too far.

Perfect place, just check the ferry arrival times, lots of trucks to Latvia and Estonia.

Good spot to catch cars/trucks out of the ferry, there's space to stop and entrance to a parking. If you come in the Viking Line you will have time to catch at least the last half of the vehicles heading out. Got a truck almost all the way to Riga. Solo female, in the middle of a storm, sign Latvia.

Great spot towards Latvia, got taken to the border, easy to continue from there.

very convenient spot to get to Klaipeda/Latvia. to conveniently get to the place take bus 32 until "9-ojo forto muziejus" bus stop from the city centre. costs 1 Euro but you can not pay if you're greedy, no one checks anyway.

Moved here from the other spot next to the Sillaotsa bus stop (waited there 2,5h). From here I got a ride in 10min directly to Ikla (Estonia-Latvia border). Stand next to the motorway at the traffic lights, use a thumb preferably. 16 Jul 2025

Many cars that go to the Latvia. We talked to 3 drivers and found a drive almost to Riga

We tried different signs, but only a few cars stopped. Most went to Klaipeda. Not the best spot to go to Latvia. Very much very fast traffic, but the spot itself is alright.

Wild camping at the water side, and started early in the morning, a man from Latvia picked me up when he was going to work in Bogen

Amazing gas station for either direction, try to find PL cars for going Poland and EST,LV for Latvia/Estonia, a lot of international cars around here, ask around, you'll most likely find someone going your way sooner or later, usually sooner, within 10-20 minutes. You can also hitchhike next to the gas station towards Panevežys if you find no cars going your way (north), still a very good bus stop also

Not a single good spot in Misso to go towards Latvia, I just kept walking on the road since really little traffic, you'll be better off at the straight parts of the road than here

After the closure of the Russian border the traffic has dried up, will take quite some time to get a car towards Latvia, waiting time of 20-30 minutes

Even though it doesn't look that promising the spot just keeps delivering, lots of traffic to Latvia and Lithuania and somehow they always stop here within 10-20 minutes, in itself it's just a bus stop and not many cars turning from Linnavere road

before the nightfall (around 20h in the summer, meaning actually no real night), some cars in two hours, most of the cars going the other direction, it is mostly a road for tourist, because it is on the coast. probably tourist from central Europa come this way north and go south in central of Latvia, still possible to hitchhike and have more luck on daytime
