“The next traffic light worked for me better, 30 min to get a lift to Warsaw”

“At busstop. In direction of Warschau (Warszawa) With sign "WWA" which is short for Warschau, standing there for ~10 mins. Not the most ideal place, but you shouldnt have to go much further out of town. You can walk a few meters away from the city so cars have more space to stop. To get here take a bus, read http://hitchwiki.org/en/Krakow”

“I've been standing at the next bus station after this one. I used a sign "WWA" After about 1.5 hour I've got a ride directly to Warsaw with a super nice guy.”

“With a ''Warsowa'' sign i waited 40mins, as always it's terrible with a sign, so i gave it up and in few minutes i was taken to a rest area on the main road”
