A less awkward place to hitch north or west is by the bus stop at Resselstraße, next to the stadium. Drivers can see you easily here and there is lots of space to stop. [[User:Jophro|Jophro]] got a ride here in 20 mins after failing to find one in 45 mins at the aforementioned DEZ centre, same for [[User:madde|madde]]. It's clearly a popular spot (you'll notice a worn patch of grass ahead of the bus stop) - when he arrived another hitchhiker was there who got a ride in 7 mins. He found it more effective to take his approach and simply write 'D', instead of the city - if you're going to Germany.
In case you are confused, although the road signs are hard to see, its the bus stop next to the stadium, not the one in the opposite side of the street.

Innsbruck is quite pricy, especially in the christmas holidays - as of 26.12.2015 the cheapest backpackers were around 30e/night if booking 1 day in advance.
The airport seems to close for night, but the main train station is open 24h. In the lower floor, as of 12.2015 there is a room in Info, with chairs where people wait for trains, I suppose you can sleep there, if you look enough like you are having a train :D

Though it is questionable if it is ethically correct to get hosted in the places that are ment for homeless, not hobo travellers.
