Approached a stopped trucker with my sign. Took me across the border.

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.

It looks like bad hitchhiking spot, but if you have a sign and reflectors, it actually pretty good. A lot of cars going to Palanga, and it make sense to accept short ride and get further on the way to Liepaja

Only local traffic. Not good for hitchiking towards Liepāja. It make sense to walk 15 min to the next spot on the road after the turn to Palanga.

Iconic hitchhiking spot. A lot of place to stop for the car, but the speed of cars ir fast, so use you sign. Easy rides to Klaipeda, but it's possible to get a car to Riga as well.

Drivers see you from far away, even though the speed of cars is high. You need a sign and reflectors, to be able to hitchhike a car fast. I got a lift to Kaunas in less than 15 min.

got extremely lucky, was a 11km to get there, I was about to pass out and a Ukrainian took me in, invited me for burger and drove me all the way to warsaw with my Kaunas sign

Super busy gas station when I was there. Ask couple people and instantly got a ride to Vilnius. Or you can just stand at the exit if you want there enough traffic for it. Idk how much cars go to Kaunas but I can imagine you find some for sure

After asking some people on the gas station, I ended up hitchhiking on the exit. It's a narrow place to stop, however drivers do stop there. Got a direct ride to Warsaw.

It's better to stay here, in front of the entrance to gas station. All the drivers can see you and there is enough safe space to spoton the bus station behind you.

Good spot - we thought we might have been the first to ever hitchhike in this town. Got a guy who was very nice and took us all the way to Vilnius - even offered to drop us where we want.

Cars going bit fast but enough space to stop before highway signs. Got a ride with a sign to Kaunas.

If you are trying to get to Riga dont get off here. People who go to riga stop at Circle K gas station after Panevezys. Your best bet is to try to find someone going to Pasvalys and get of there and get to Riga. If you are going to Siauliai its alright. But the gas station has low traffic. And most of the traffic are locals

―kiausiniuvagis, July 2026

I would say the best spot into riga direction but i would recommend first trying to get to panevezys and then to riga because i dont think there is a lot of cars going straight to riga. But try to get to circle k after panevezys because its the most popular gas station. And getting off earlier will mean you will likely get a bit stuck

Okay, it seems like I’m the first person in 10 years to do this hitchhike so I will try and be as thorough as possible. I started early in the morning after sleeping in the airport. I walked here and I used a sign from the nearby supermarket that said Belarus. A sign is very necessary. After 45 minutes, I was picked up by a Polish Belarusian Father and son and as for the border, it was completely fine. Took about 2-3 hours in total. I have a Ukrainian stamp And it was still fine. EU passport, you can still buy insurance at the border. Still a good spot

Tried catching by the road, not on the gas station. Was a bit tricky for drivers to stop, but who wants, they take you.

A lot of cars going to the north east direction stops here. Got a direct ride to Lithuania on a Saturday morning.

Good spot, last place u can really HH if going to Lithuania aha. Like the 4th car took me, but it genuinely took about 15,20 mins for 4 cars to go past.

―SunnySupertramp, July 2026

54.44476, 25.91689

Good spot, just extremely empty, not many cars going to Lithuania anymore :/ Thankfully a nice Belarusian truck driver stood with me and flagged down another truck

Good for Lithuania, getting as far lift as I got is just pure luck

―Autostopeks, July 2026

Normally it work much better but today I was just unlucky. Still the best way to get on S8 towards Lithuania and Białystok

―Autostopeks, July 2026

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

Asking everyone around if they are going to Lithuania. But half of it was staying in Suwalki. Lithuanian cars were usually full of things. But eventually a estonian camper took us to Kaunas. But still probably its the best gas station to get to Lithuania

―kiausiniuvagis, May 2026

Probably the best gas station to get a ride between warsaw and ostrow from my experience. We were trying to go to Lithuania but we accepted a ride to Bialystok which was maybe not the best idea because it can become pretty hard to get out of there. So if you are going to Baltics just stick to the main highway. Eventually you will get someone who is going there.

After roundabout trying to catch cars coming from Suwalki headed to north, great to get Polish going home but most Lithuanian cars are really full, at first declined local rides, but in all honesty, you should take the first car that takes you further up north, for a ride of 20kms or so you will get a car within 20 minutes, for a ride to Lithuania or further you will have to wait way longer

Towards LT, been here quite some times, always conflicting, this spot is ideal for long distance cars, but you have to get here in the first half of the day when those cars come by, in the evening or in the dark it really is long long wait, if you even get a car. The spot itself is great, huge roadside where you can stop anything, also behind top! there are few lorries parked for the nights, but most of the companies are at the most going to southern Lithuania. If you get here early you'll get a ride within 5-10 minutes, if you come here in the evening expect 60+ minutes of waiting

―estohiker, May 2026

Towards Lithuania, first somewhat okay spot, even though as there are loads of good places for cars to stop along the way from Auce, noone will cuz about 95% of the cars are locals headed to any of the border villages as well as this road being generally little used, try to aim for Lithuanian passenger cars, wait times of 30-50 minutes here, anywhere before probably 60+ minutes

―estohiker, March 2026

Busy service station. Was able to find a lift to Suwalki but should be very easy to find one to Lithuania.

It rained quite heavily, so I found shelter nearby Vynoteka. A lot of people going to Lithuania buy cheap alcohol in Poland's border, and I believe this is one of the last alcohol stores in the north.

A bus stop with enough space for cars to stop. Good spot if you want to get out of Augustów and go to Suwałki (which is eventually much better city to get a ride to Lithuania). Waited 25 minutes with sign Suwałki/Kaunas.

Small gas station. Going to Lithuania, the station is right after a curve so drivers dont see it that good. We were in pair, one hitchhiked on the entry to the station and the other at the exit. Sign "LT" - Lithuania. Got a ride past the border to the closest town.

―Tobiacha, August 2025

Tried my luck here for 90min towards Lithuania. Although there are many cars passing and there is an unused bus stop to stop safely, no one took me. Seems like a good spot, and also quite a few Lithuanian cars. After 90min, I moved further to the other mentioned spots on this map, and waited 60min more to be picked up.

One of the better highway exits in Lithuania outside the big towns. Took a fairly short ride, would have waited for direct ride to kaunas hadnt it rained.

Good spot how to get to Lithuania. Infront of the gas station. After 25 mins guy called us from gas station and take us to Kaunas.

mostly local traffic. many lithuania cars but almost none stop. I declined 2 rides to marijampole in the hopes of getting a ride further but it was a mistake and i got stuck for 2 hours. its not a bad spot but i think i was just very unlucky. in the afternoon many lithuanians go back from shopping so in the end i got a ride to Kaunas.
