Good spot, on this gas station we were just asking people around to Marseille direction.

Not so busy, we tried to ask people for Nice / Marseille direction. A Swiss older couple on Tesla took us before Nice, above Monaco. From there it was easier because we were finally in France. Good luck.

I got incredibly lucky as a Romanian truck driver picked me up (the BEST people) and I had a sign to Genova, but ended up going further as I wanna get to San Marino. Hard to get into this spot as i walked on the road, and police came and waved a finger no, but i ignored them and thankfully got a lift quickly after

Worst spot ever no one stoped after more then 5 hours and even worse in the evening some French people started throwing rocks at me and i was feeling very unsafe.

This spot is sh*it. Just don't go there. Nobody will take you or only for a small ride.

Ok so I guess I was lucky to have a couple of kind italians taking me to Ventimiglia in like 10mn of waiting. BUT I think, if it wasn't them, I could wait a lot. There's almost no room to stop, it's just after the border so there are some cops & carabinieri and it puts a negative atmosephere for hitchhiking which reflects on people attitude. Also a lot of fancy cars and tourism which won't likely be the kind of person taking you for a ride (it's valid for the whole coast of Liguria IMO). Grazie Marco e Sofia :)

Honestly I've been lucky to find someone in 10mn for Monaco. It's a very tiny place with very few cars and if unlucky I'm sure you can wait hours

Two guys with sign to Monaco. There’s bus stop where car can stop so pretty good place. Maybe also good for getting to Italy from Nice.

I'm backdating this story because I initially missed it when doing my trip write-up.

This is the only service station servicing Monaco, for that, it seems quite promising! It's a bit of a quest to get to though, first, a bus will take you most of the way out of Beausoleil; after which you need to walk up a motorway service road and hop a fence. Not too good, not too bad. It'll do.

The sun was getting ready to set when we started hitching, our sign read “Italia” but the evening traffic wasn't looking promising. We weren't too bothered, however, because the views were fantastic, and it looked like a wonderful place to camp!

Right as we turned round to walk into the woods for the night, we heard a horn honking behind us! Five older Brits on a jolly outing to Italy! They gave us a very entertaining lift to Alassio, where we proceeded to find a place to spend the night.

If hitching from here, I'd strongly recommend not accepting anything that isn't to at least Sanremo. The Italian police don't like hitchhikers at the best of times, let alone those that get stuck on a border toll booth with no pedestrian access.

just ask people on the traffic light if they drive out of town, if you don't wanna waste time taking a bus outside of town!worked pretty good at this spot here, so would be interesting if you give it a try

Same as the other two. Bon Voyage bus stop. But zoom in on satelite view and look at this marker. If you are heading West just walk a ways next to the on-ramp (past the overpass) and youÂ´ll see a great spot where there is a perfect shoulder for cars to pull off for you.
