Going to the <map lat='53.27' lng='-9.03' zoom='11' view='0'float='Aran Islands ferry terminalright'/>' at ''Ros a MhilGalway'' and points further west in Connemara - if you're feeling lazy, catch the number 1 bus from Eyre Square - stay is a city on the bus going through Salthill and get off once the bus turns off the coach road. From here it's about 5 minutes walk to where the bypass meets the old coach roadwestern coast of [[Ireland]], which is the ideal spot for hitchinginhabited by more than 72 thousand people. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get thereCars registered in Galway have letter G after first two digits on registration plates.__NOTOC__== Hitchhiking out ==
If you're short on cash, just walk out along Father Griffin Road === East and Taylors Hill Road to the same spot, around 40 minutes walk; again, you may get lucky south towards [[Dublin]] and get a lift before then but I wouldn't count on it. You could try the roundabouts on the bottom of the Headford Road, on the bypass but near the city centre[[Limerick]], but it has always looked too heavily trafficked with local vehicles to me.[[Cork]] ===
Going to * '''Dublin Road'Clifden'', walk up University Road and Newcastle There are some good spot to hitchhike in Dublin Road. But since there is the new M6 highway, and you can probably stop walking once you get beyond it's maybe not the flashy hotel on the right hand side; again, best if you might get lucky and pick up a lift quickerare going to Dublin. Alternatively, get bus number 5 as far up the Upper Newcastle Road as it goes, get out and walk hitching But good if you are going to the same spotLimerick or Cork.
Going From railway and bus station go right till you get to Frenchville Ln., turn right and go down the road near Radisson Hotel. At the end of the road turn left to Lough Atalia Rd., which is inner city bypass. You will see rail bridge on the right. You can hitch just behind the junction. There's traffic jam quite often. It's about 3 minutes walk. If you continue on the DublinRoad, you''ll find, bus stops, red lights, and nice spots to hitch. You can also go to the Skerritt roundabout by the GMIT College. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. Bus no. 2 goes in this direction.  * ''Cork'M6 to Dublin' or ''Limerick''Since 2010 there is the M6 highway between Galway and Dublin. So it is maybe better to find a better spot where you can hitch the cars going to this highway. If you find a car to Dublin hitchhiking on Dublin Road, you will be lucky, because now, not much people go this way if they want to go to the M6 to Dublin. Morris roudabout could be better.Go to the Morris roundabout which is beside the dual carriageway (N6). There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift and even a petrol station to ask drivers for assistance. Bus no. 3 goes in this direction.I have gone out (François Gobert, French) hitchhiked on this same road on Oct-2015 and got picked up in 10 minutes! Walk a bit further after the ESSO petrol station and start hitchhiking just when the insertion line ends up! Good spot! === West towards [[Connemara]] by the old Dublin Roadcoast road, Aran Islands ferry terminal in [[Rossaveel]] === If you're feeling lazy, but catch bus no. 1 from Eyre Square - stay on the bus going through Salthill and get off once the bus turns off the coach road. From here it's a long about 5 minutes walk to where it the bypass meets the bypass and I have not got old coach road, which is the ideal spot for hitching. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get there.There is also a good spot to hitch where Barna Road cross Ballymoneen Road, after Salthill. If you don't take the bus, it's one hour walking all from Galway. === Northeast towards [[Tuam]], [[Sligo]], [[Derry]] ===Go to the way out. The Ballybaan RoadFonthill roundabout which is beside N17/Monivea Tuam Road . There is space after the roundabout on the bypass might be worth to hitch a trylift. Don't bother with a sign Bus number [http://www.galwaytransport.info/2008/12/3-ballybrit-coming- soon.html 3] goes in this direction. === North towards [[Castlebar]], [[Westport]] ===Go to the Kirwan roundabout which is beside N84/Headford Road. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift . Bus no. 7 goes in this direction. === Northwest towards [[Clifden]] ===Get bus number 5 as far up the Upper Newcastle Road as it goes, get out and walk hitching to where the N6 same spot after the traffic lights. There is plenty of space for vehicles to pull over and N18 divide saves a long walk!help you.{{IsIn|Ireland}} [[Category:Ireland]] [[de:Galway]]
