Towards Belgrade:

We recommend taking the old road to Belgrade. The hitchhiking generally works better there and there's no risk of police making you problems.

Old road: Take city bus no. 3 or 9 (bus stop across the street from "Bazaar" shopping mall in the city centre, on Mihailo Pupin Boulevard. Get off at the last stop and hitchhike right from there, about 30 meters from the bus stop. The place doesn't look like a good hitchhiking spot, but it works fine, maybe even better than the highway.

Highway: Take city bus no. 5 (bus stop in front of the Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište). Get off at the last station, then walk straight ahead. After about 200 meters you'll bump into the highway that you can see on the photo below. Head straight for Temerin and Becej, right for Belgrade (wait in front of the parking adjacent to the huge grey shopping mall).

Towards Subotica:

 
Take city bus no. 1 from the centre, towards Klisa suburb (bus stop in front of Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište)). Get off at the last station. The street is called Sentandrejski put. Head straight down the same road for another 15 minutes, until you reach a big crossroads with the highway. Keep walking in the same direction for another 20 minutes after the crossroads, and hitchhike from there.

Towards Becej:

City bus no. 5 from the city centre (bus stop in front of Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište)). Get off at the last stop. The street is called Temerinski put. Head straight until you reach the highway, cross it and hitchhike from just after the crossroads.

Towards Zrenjanin:

City bus no. 5 from the city centre (bus stop in front of Uspenska church, just next to Serbian National Theatre (Srpsko Narodno Pozorište)). Go untill the crossroads with Partizanska street (ask someone on the bus, or check on your map). The other option is to take bus no. 21 for Shanghai (a gipsy suburb of Novi Sad), and when it takes a turn and leaves the Temerinska street (big crossroads, big traffic lights), the bus stop is almost on the highway. Head straight for 200 meters, until the street starts to turn and ascend the bridge (that is where the cars slow down). Make sure you have a shield saying "ZR", because this is also a hitchhiking spot for Belgrade. The place is notorius for the prostitutes who sometimes hang out there.

Towards Irig, Ruma, Sremska Mitrovica, Šabac:

1st option: Take city bus no. 72 for Paragovo (starts from the main bus station, stops along Bulevar Oslobodjenja, the big boulevard spaning from the bus/train station to the bridge), get off at the last stop, and hitchhike from there. Make sure you buy the bus ticket all the way to Paragovo, since it's a different zone.

2nd option: Hitchhike near the bus stop at the beginning of Sloboda bridge (Most slobode) on Bulevar Oslobodjenja. Make sure you have a shield saying where you're going, since the road branches after the bridge, just after the tunnel.

Towards Backa Palanka and the Croatian border:

It's not easy to get out of the town in the direction of Backa Palanka and the Ilok border post (towards Vinkovci, Vukovar, Osijek), because the city ends about 15km from the centre, so walking is not advised.

Take bus no. 54 to the nearby town of Futog (bus stop across the street from the Futoska pijaca green market, on the crossroads of Futoska Street and Bulevar Oslobodjenja; the ride takes approx. 15 minutes). Near the town centre there's a gas station, a good hitchhiking spot.

The other option is to take bus no. 7 (same bus station across the street from Futoska pijaca market), and get off just before it turns right (you can't know when it will turn right, so just take off after the turn, and then walk back to the main road). There's a city bus depot there, so just hitchhike in front of it.
