'''Novosibirsk''' (Russian: Новосибирск) is [[Russia]]'s third-largest city, after [[Moscow]] and [[St. Petersburg|Saint Petersburg]], and the largest city of [[Siberia]]. Hitchhiking through, especially from and to the South, is not necessarily a lot of fun.
The city's name is often abbreviated by locals as ''Novosib''.
Hitching out towards Barnaul is a bit complicated. You can try many places along rail road using local trains.
Most convinient is to take the local train to Isktim, located 60 km South of Novosibirsk. The price for the ticket will be around 1 Euro. After arrving there, you can either walk to the long distance bus station, or just take a local Marschrutka there. The bus station is outside the town on the road to Barnaul, so you can just hitch-hike on the opposite side.
== Hitchhiking through ==
Hitchhiking through from and towards Altaiskij Krai (both from East and West), is not necessarily a lot of fun -- the road goes right through the city and becomes a street frequented by pedestrians, buses and pigeons; no hitchhiking here. Make sure you find a ride beforehand or you'll be walking or riding the buses for a while. Hitchhiking past from East to West is a lot easier as the road actually goes around the city itself. A good spot for finding a ride through the city in either direction coming from the West is the big truck stop right before the highway splits towards Baikal (East) and towards the city/Altai (South).
