'''Irkutsk''' (Russian: Иркутск) is a city in [[Siberia]], [[Russia]] on the western shores of Lake Baikal.
=== Southwest towards [[Sludianka]], [[Ulan-Ude]], [[Chita]] (M-55) ===
From downtown Irkutsk, near the main market, take a minibus (marshrutka) in the direction Shelekhov (Шелехов) until one of the last stops (not the last one); ask your driver for the federalnaya towards Baikal (approximately 50 minutes, about 37 Rubels). You will be on the M55 highway which goes around the southern shores of Lake Baikal to Ulan-Ude. There is a great hitchhiking spot here.
