There's a very useful info about Murmansk on Russian page [1]]. Use a translator.
Hitching out
North-East towards Norway
Take bus #18 or trolleybus #4 from the train/busstation and get out at Dostoevskogo - one of the last stops before the buses return to the city centre. A ticket will cost you 25,- RUB (Expression error: Unexpected < operator. €) and you can buy it in the bus.
Although the Dostoevskogo stop will be announced via the speakers, it is recognizable from three small streetshops on the right side. Go out here. Walk a few meters down the road and you will see a recently built church on your right hand sight. Behind that church, you can see the Kola Bay and a huge bridge crossing that bay. This is the only in bridge around Murmansk over the Kola Bay and forms, therefore, the connection between the M18 highway with Murmansk.
Before entering the bridge, you will see traffic lights. This is a good place to put your thumbs in the air to get a ride towards the Norwegian border.
