<map lat='53.27' lng='-9.03' zoom='11' view='0' float='right'/> Galway is one of the bigger cities in Ireland, located at the atlantic coast.
Hitching out
West (Connemara, Aran Islands ferry terminal)
If you're feeling lazy, catch the number 1 bus 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 about 5 minutes walk to where the bypass meets the old coach road, which is the ideal spot for hitching. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get there.
North (Tuam, etc.)
Go to the Fonthill roundabout which is beside N17/Tuam Road. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. The number 8 bus goes in this direction.
North (Castlebar, Westport, etc.)
Go to the Kirwan roundabout which is beside N84/Headford Road. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. The number 7 bus goes in this direction.
Northwest (Clifden)
Get bus number 5 as far up the Upper Newcastle Road as it goes, get out and walk hitching to the same spot after the traffic lights. There is plenty of space for vehicles to pull over and assit you.
East or South (Dublin, Cork, Limerick)
You can go out the old Dublin Road, but it's a long walk to where it meets the bypass and hard to get a lift inside the city. The Ballybaan Road/Monivea Road roundabout on the bypass might be worth a try.
