Perfect place for HH to Sofia. It's near to semaphore and Gas station. There is a old railway (don't work right now) and cars drive slow because of this.―Anonymous

We were very lucky to the border, but after the border traffic was very slow. Most people seem to be going to Edirne from the border. Also, beware of people asking for (a lot of) money, thinking you actually need a taxi.―Teeshirt

When going to Turkey, don't bother using a sign here. There won't be any direct traffic because that will take the (practically unhitchable) highway, so just put out your thumb, get a ride to the next (sizable) town (Haskovo in this case) and repeat from there until you get to the border.―HolyDrinker

From downtown Plovdiv you can get on bus 66 (make sure you take it eastwards) and get off at Tsarigradsko Shose, before the bus turns into the Trakia district: http://www.masov-gt.com/googleMaps.php?table=66_1D1M0p&Den=1&VidTrans=1&description=%D0%90%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B0%20%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F%20%E2%84%96%2066%20(%D0%BA%D0%B2.%20%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%20-%20%D0%B6.%D0%BA.%20%D0%A2%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%8F%20%D0%9012)Then you can walk over the bridge and find a good spot to hitch (at the bistro).

There is a bus station on the right side of the street. You can hitchhike from there if you want to go outside the city (and reach the highway)―Frederic Henry

The best place in our opinion! Were hitchhiking in a couple (a guy and a girl), with a sign written in Bulgarian [София моля те :) - Sofia, please :) ] and literally stopped a car in 1 minute. Stand on the little corner after the semaphore so that not only cars that go straight to highway could see you, but also the ones turning to the left.―Martinio
