Eskişehir (number plate code: 26 ) is a city in northwestern section of central plateau in Turkey, about 300-400 km southeast of Istanbul. This is a university-town, as it is home to two of Turkey’s biggest universities and a large non-local student population.
Hitchhiking out
Walk to the direction of Yunusemre Campus of Anadolu University (about 15-20 minutes from city centre). In front of its gate lies a major motorway, pick your side (right for east to Ankara, left for west/north/south to Bursa/Bilecik, Istanbul/Kutahya, eventually Antalya), and start thumbing.
Sleeping
City has a warm and safe train station (tren istasyonu) open 24-hours a day in a very central location. Waiting lounge (bekleme salonu) is in particular good for sleeping. If any official bothers you (an unlikely situation to happen), just tell them that you are waiting for your train.
