My buddy Gustavo and I were waiting here for a bus that we were pretty sure existed, and put our thumbs out on the road just to kill some time. It didn’t work. Of course it didn’t work. We never thought it was going to work. Everybody and their grandmother knew it wasn’t gonna work. It’s a terrible spot. Really bad. Don’t try this at home. You’re better than that, bucko.
real expert pro tip life advice: take Blue Line from here to Sutorina, you can get dropped off at gas station very close to border control. €1.50

In direction HR, only 6 cars in line and nobody was too interested in taking us. As we were about to walk across border control, we got into a conversation with two German guys who were in a car next in line, and they agreed to take us to Dubrovnik. On Saturday afternoon in March, there was much more traffic towards HR than towards MNE. Car line at the EU checkpoint was very long, so you can walk between border controls for better odds of you are feeling up for it.
Also very important note: GUSTAVO’s FIRST HITCHHIKE!!

Tried to ask around at this gas station but there was very little traffic, most of it in direction HR anyway. If you’re stuck at this spot, go to the cafe next door, Marian the owner is a super nice guy, we had a good talk. He also suggested in take Blue Line minibus to Herceg Novi for €1.50, which I ended up doing. This was my last spot in a very unsuccessful attempt for hitchhiking Dubrovnik-Kotor. With more time and patience I am sure it can be done in the offseason, but it certainly isn’t easy.

In direction MNE, I walked between the border control posts and asked the five cars in line for Herceg Novi or Kotor… most cars full… waited 15 minutes more and nobody else had come, so I walked across the border myself to the nearest gas station

Very good Spot to go to Albania. Went the from Bar Train Station 20 minutes walk. Stood the with a sign to Ulcinj and after 15-20 two guys from Albania, were taking us directly to Durres, so we were really glad 10/10 would recommend!

we asked around a couple cars on the serb side of the border, if they could pick us up after they cross, and they did

Just right after a border control. First stopped a bus and asked 8 euros, after refusal albanian with Italy plates stopped and took us to Podgorica. But I asked to drop me near waterfall.

Waited only for 10 minutes, but there were a lot of cars and because of the high speed they couldn't stop, but two men picked us up

When we arrived point, one car stopped. It was good spot. We did December, in rainy day

perfect for long distance, good spot at the end of the town, cars are not going that fast and lots of room to stop

Nobody stopped until about an hour of trying when a guy stopped and took us to the Croatian border.

Spot is great, plenty of space but not a lot of traffic goes there in the winter (also we are a mixed couple and that might explain why we waited).

There is place to stop and a lot of people drive there to avoid the tunnel road. We got a ride very quickly

Not the best stop, cars are going really fast. But fortunately for me, when I get out previous car, the next one stopped to ask me for directions, after some talk I came with them

Road to Mojkovac is closed, and there was also a lot of road construction works near the bridge on both sides so I ended at this place. This is not great, only small space to stop and you need to walk uphill to there. I had no idea how I can get to Prokletije, but actually after 15min two Czech girls stopped and they were going straight to Plav, one of the luckiest hitchhiking rides ever.

I walked by foot through the tunnel and after that there is small place for drivers to stop. There was almost no traffic, in 10min only 2 cars, but actually the second one stopped - great guy living in the mountains, people are really helpful in this area.

decent for heading towards montenegro, but pretty unlikely they will be crossing the border. always a pleasure hitching with albanians

Stood there for almost 3 hours, and nobody took us and made us clear that they are not going to montenegro...so we had to take a bus . Wouldnt recomment , its not worth the wait , better to take the bus to Podgorica

Going to Montenegro without a sign, in during Christmas. Two cars stoped, both offered a ride to Koplik

A lot of local traffic, harder to get ride to Montenegro but easier to Bosnia

Enough traffic but most is tourists or people who don’t want to stop. I still put 4 stars cause it was a pretty place to wait with a nice view and a lot of traffic so a good chance to get lucky. 2 people (boy and girl) got a ride to the Montenegro border in 1.5 hours

In theory, it was a great place – a hostel, a gas station, and a place to buy vignettes for TIRs (entry and exit from the same side), but we came across a little traffic. It was getting late, so after almost an hour, we decided we'd be done in 10 minutes and were going to sleep here at the hostel. We were about to head back when a couple from Poland on their way to Montenegro stopped by. We got to Zvolen SK with them.

Great spot to get to Montenegro. Can hitch from the petrol station but we found it better to go onto the lay-by on the other side as traffic moves pretty slow so plenty of time for people to read sign.

Option 1 on hitch-wiki, seemed like a bad spot to go to Montenegro as two locals told us to go to the other side of the city and head south.

We waited maybe 25mins? Then some guy took us to Zlatibor. Good hitchhike spot, probably the best on the highway to Zlatibor/Montenegro

Good spot if you want to go to Dubrovnik or Montenegro from Mostar, a guy doing Mostar - Dubrovnik took me after 30-40 min

Bus stop there, plenty of space for the cars to stop, but there are just few cars going fast on their way to Montenegro.

Started hitchhiking at night right after crossing the Serbian border on feet. There's a huge queue of trucks there, don't use sign there, because just near the Montenegro border there will be another huge line of trucks. Use this place to just hitchhike a ride through 3km buffer zone with your thumb and cross next border by walk.
Border workers are helping you to get a ride

It's a highway and there's a whole unused line for cars to stop. Traffic is going surprisingly slow and drivers can easily see you. Got a ride to Montenegro direction in less than 10 minutes.
Technically hitchhiking on the highway is illegal, but come on, who cares about rules in Serbia?
That's why I love Balkans where you don't get 150 euros fine for doing something innocent and nobody will ever snitch on you.

Was going Montenegro direction.
This place is not popular at all. Too small traffic and most of it goes to Cacak. Didnt get any ride for two hours, after that I went to hitchhike to the highway and got a ride very quickly

This place is hard but doable.
Mostly no cars go to Montenegro here, but truck drivers go directly to Podgorica. I had to beg on my mom to get one truck driver take me at least to the border. He had to drop me before, because he had only driver seat in his cabin and didn't want any problems at control.
Overall, it has plenty of place for cars to stop, but barely anyone go to Monyebegro

I got to this station by Bus from Beograd(they're currently free due to protests in Serbia), but be careful because they're chaotic and Google maps doesn't show real bus schedule and routes. Better use Serbian app 'Moovit' to see actual information.
This spot was amazing! No many cars stop here, but for me it was a direct shot! After 5 minutes of asking drivers directly for a ride, I got picked up by a nice Serbian truck driver that went all way to Montenegro, which was extremely lucky!!!

Lot of people going to Montenegro, Budva should be a good sign. We got a ride to kotor quickly, and the bus stop is good for pulling over

Good spot to go into Kosovo. Decent traffic and a good view. Got taken quickly but then the driver had to drop me between the Montenegro and Kosovo border stations for some reason.

I was at the bus stop in front of the airport. A man from Norway going to Montenegro took me to Herceg Novi where I can take a bus to Kotor.
