Great spot for way to Estonia. Bus stop. Got ride in 20 minutes with a sign. I think it is worth to get from Riga, if you want to go to Estonia.

Called the night by the castle and had a local kid my age show me around the town at night. Super good spot for hitching South. Had a sign LT Kaunas

Late at night so not much traffic but managed to get a lift to Bauska without a sign

A fast bussy 2 Lane Road with a bus stop
Not Ideal but worked

If you go to kaunas use a sign bauska, we had a kaunas sign for 45 minutes, than we changed it to bauska and after 5 minutes we've got a ride to iecava. It's also a luck but still. Place just after the construction seemed to us better.

Not the best spot for drivers to stop (due to cpnstuctions) but we've got picked up by a car going to riga after a while

The first Guy we(2) asked took us all the way to Poland. Very good spot for asking people at the gas station and a lot of people going very far.

I agree with the previous review, not so much traffic, but enough place to stop and 5th car stopped me and took me to main road above Vandžiogala. Maybe better if you go to Panevėžys or Latvia, to get from here to Vandžiogala and then further. Bus 23 from centre to Domeikava seniūnija.

Great spot to get to Latvia. Many cars with Latvian license plate were stopping here. We were lucky a stopped a guy travelling to Riga.

Got a ride directly to Latvia, just before Liepaja. A lot of LT cars are going to the campings near Liepaja during the summer and it's never should wait a long time here to get a ride.

we waited for fifteen minutes and got a ride directly to Kaunas, our first ride. Many cars on the road have Lithuania and Latvia plates, so definitely a good spot to get to the Baltics

Stood with signs Kaunas, LT and "Uz Latviju?"
We were lucky that a Polish couple spotted our Latvia sign and took us all the way to Liepāja.

Not much traffic, waited between 30 minutes to an hour and couldn't get a ride. Walked all the way over to outskirts of Valka for a better spot on the Latvia side.

No one goes anywhere apart from Kaunas. Horrible spot to get a ride to Klaipeda or somewhere near Latvia. (you only might find someone going to Vilnus there). If you r stuck there, go to Mega Store and then walk to other spots.

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”

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:)

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.

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.
