The '''Principality of Monaco''' is a citywealthycity-state in [[Western Europe]].That's a small wealthy town on Hitchhiking inside the seashorecity of Monaco is easy. There's probably not very much People feel safe there and will easily take you if you want to do for the kind reach another part of people that are this wiki's audience, except walking in the old city and in or an adjacent one. Moreover, the center and a couple probability of museums (especially the famous 'Musée Océanographique' if you're interested traveling in sealife). One day a high-standing car is usually more than enough. Really overcrowded in Augustquite high.
= Leaving = Hitching out == Instead of hitchhiking from the city itself, one typically takes a public transportation out to a hitchhiking point. === West towards [[Nice]] ===Don't expect to hitch out there, take You can get a train to [[Nice]] (or Saint Laurent du Var if . If you dont want to take a train to Nice, youcan go by walk to the gas station on A8. From Monaco center it took 2.5 walking but it definitely worth it, I got a ride to Barcelona in 30 min. Its hard to describe how to got there, and you definitelly will need a map for that. I was using MapsMe app. This is the coordinates of that gas station 43°45′16.86″N 07°23′53.91″E First you need to get to the village La Turbie. Take bus 11, leaving from the tourism office close to the casino, once in an hour, in the direction ''re going La Turbie'' and get out at the bus stop "Mont Angel". Then walk up the street "Route de Mont-Angel" for 600 meters, then to the left into "Chemin du Col de Guerre", in maybe 30 min you will reach the bridge above the highway, after 5 min more walking you will reach the gate to the gas station, when I came, almost midnight, it was closed, so I just jump over it. But, I guess, you can ring the bell and someone will open. Take in mind that all way from Monaco to hitch westwards) or this gas station requeries to go UP. So think about whether you need it. === East towards [[VentimigliaItaly]] if you go east=== Take bus 11, leaving from the tourism office close to the casino, once in an hour, in the direction ''La Turbie'' and get out at the bus stop "D 2564/RD 63". From there it's around a 10-minute walk to a service station on the highway towards Italy. Follow the street ''Route de Menton'' eastwards and take the second road left going up the hill, be careful about the cars, the road is narrow and cars are going fast. The bus costs 1.50 € (June 2017). Another, cheaper solution possibility for leaving in the direction of Italy is the bus TAM 100, going which goes from [[Nice]] to [[Menton]] on the Italian border, the . The fare is 1,30 .50 € regardless of the distance. It stops in Monaco at the Place des Armes. When you want to go further to italy *DO NOT* Stay at the peage there, it‘s almost everytime Full of italian border-Police and they will fine or warn you and they will tell you, Thats illegal in Italian to Autostop.The best solution is to use the petrol station right behind Monaco and ask to Drive further than Sanremo because it could be hard before. ( we waited more than 6 Hours and still got nothing, we had to walk there.. ) maybe you will be luckier but its your risk :/.
== Circuit de Monaco ==
It is possible to hitchhike the Monaco street circuit, by standing on the start/finish line and sticking your thumb out.
See how fast you can complete one lap (timed from the moment you start waiting on the side of the road, until the moment the car you're in crosses the line). Sanne and [[User:Tmoon|Tom]], hitchhiking as a pair, completed 1 lap in about 9 minutes (we forgot to time exactly) on 10 May 2009. If you are in Monaco, give it a go, time yourself and let the world know how you did!
Better try it during evenings or weekends, the amount of cars during the days makes you going too slow to reach less than 9 minutes.
== Sleep ==
Ofcourse it's better to find a place to sleep in a nearby cities, because it's hard to find a good place for a tent in Monaco. I can recommend you one place in Italy, before the French border. If you age going from Italy, it's a really only one good place on the way from Ventimiglia to Monaco. Trust me, i made all this way on foot and check everything along the road. Two kilometres before the border there is a tunnel Galleria Mortola, after you pass this tunnel, turn left and you will see railway and the small bridge for pedestrians that cross this raillway. Cross it and you'll see nice green area on the rock with amazing view on a night Monaco.
You can also walk from Monaco toward France, near the Route de la Plage Marquet is the beach it situated near Le Lampar restaurant. I slept there, without using a tent, just in sleeping bag and noone bothered me. At the morning you will got just amazing view.
