* I hitchhiked from the bridge in March 2017. It was still low season so there aren't as many full cars. But there is still quite a bit of traffic. I found a ride all the way to Mostar in about 30 minutes. The guys offered to take me all the way to Sarajevo! (by [[User:Henridv|Henridv]])
* July 2017 - we went to the bus station described in Option 2 from where we walked through the bridge (there is a bit of road with no pavement, don't worry, its normal here to walk along the road). On the other side of the bridge, described place looks much better than described in Option 1. There is a lot of space to stop and you are visible. I felt confused by what I found on Hitchwiki, as it was described as a mediocre spot, where in real it looked great. Got a 15 km ride in 20 minutes and another one all the way to Split in another 20 minutes.
* Sept 2018 - [[user:jamesvagabond|jamesvagabond]] waited at the pullout just past the bridge for about 15 mins and got a ride well into Bosnia. The spot seems to have been improved, quite a bit of space. The bridge also has a sidewalk.

*August 2016:
You can take Bus 1a or 1b from Pile Gate(Old Town) to central Bus Station near cruise ship port for 15 Kune, 12 if you buy it at kiosk. From there you can take bus 10 towards Cavtat and get off at Kitzovica 20 km outside of town which might help you avoid the Dubrovnik tourists who won't pick you up...( the name is either Kitzovica or very similar to that, ask your bus driver to tell you when you're there). You can also take this bus simply to the top of the hill above old town and get off there if you don't feel like climbing the hill with your stuff. The #10 bus is only 25 Kune to Kitzovica and progressively less if you don't go that far. From the Kitzovica stop I walked 20m and hitched from right in front of bus stop so cars could pull into bus space and I got a ride within literally 5 seconds all the way to Bar.
*Sept. 2019:
With bus #10, the place you're looking for is called Zvekovica, and it's 22kn for a ticket one-way. On a Monday mid-morning the ride took almost 50mins, then standing just before the bus stop I got a ride within 5 mins to Kotor.

*This is a beautiful spot. Favourite part about my stay was this spot. Be warned, the walk from the spot to the hitchhiking spot is primarily stairs, so plan accordingly if you are trying to get out early.
*Great spot indeed, in the weekend however students were here 'till 1 or 2 am, so prepare for the possible option that sleeping is not going to happen before early hours. June 2016
*one of the best sleeping spot I had. It might be better to arrive a bit before night because of the stairs. We met 2 different groups of hitchhikers the same night. Locals arrived from 8am.
Another option is to go to the peninsula Babin Kuk, which is an area of small forests, beaches and a (quite expensive) camping. It's possible to find a wild camping spot here, and it's a half-hour walk (1 hour from old town) or 5 minute bus ride from Dubrovnik.
