We tried to hitchhike to Istanbul (2 men). Overall, the location is average/poor – few drivers were going to Istanbul, most were heading towards Burgas, and the Turks heading to Istanbul were reluctant to pick up additional passengers. First, we tried hitchhiking at a gas station, then we tried to hitchhike directly on the highway. This seemed like a better method. Ultimately, we managed to hitchhike to a gas station on the A1, just before the junction for the Istanbul and Burgas roads.―Anonymous

We tried to hitchhike to Istanbul. Overall, the location seemed quite good, but we had significant difficulties – few drivers were heading to Istanbul; most were heading towards Burgas, and the Turks heading to Istanbul were reluctant to pick up additional passengers. Eventually, we managed to hitchhike to a gas station outside Plovdiv.―Anonymous

An excellent location under the highway to catch a ride from Plovdiv to Sofia. This is where the ramp to the highway begins, and vehicles have sufficient time and space to stop.―Anonymous

I waited at the on ramp and was about to try going onto the highway directly when someone stopped and took me to the split in the highway towards Burgas/Edirne. I wanted to go to Edirne, he would have gone to Burgas.―Anonymous

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
