One of the better spots in san marino. But far from the main city ://. At least hour of walking by the side of this regional road. Not that fun. But here drivers see you for a while and go at kinda normal speeds. Also you can ask at the gas station. Fr my case during rush hour it was fuuull. But they just didnt care about me. So got depressed and went to stand with a sign and after 25 mins a very cool italian guy took me to rimini―kiausiniuvagis

Good spot getting out Pesaro. If you try hitchhiking this road dont expect long rides. So write the next town over or a bit further. For my case i wrote Fano and got ride pretty quickly.―kiausiniuvagis

Two young people took me to gabicce mare (i stood with a cattolica sign). I was during rush hour and the traffic was veryyy slow and there is a loot of space to stop and a gas station to ask if you need. Good spot if you dont go that far―kiausiniuvagis

What a spot, I had a sign to Rimini and got picked up by a lovely lady in 15 mins, petrol station for people to drive into, lots of cars going by and traffic so they can see you―SunnySupertramp

to go to Bologna: take the bus from Pesaro train and bus station to Strada di Borgheria or somewhere near, go on the roundabout, try to get to the service station, climb the fence on the most left side where the road and the service station come together, the fence is already damaged by crosspassers, found a ride in 5 minutes there, straight to Bologna―Cippino

You can get here by bus from Riccione (41,43) and access from the service road in the back - try your luck in convincing someone to open the gate for you, or try to jump over the fence a bit right of the gate―Anonymous

a gas station just outside rimini and it's good for either north or south, however, you got to stay at the entrance, since the staff is very hostile towards hitchhikers―Anonymous

The petrol station is not so busy, you can also try to hitchhike next to the road. After 15 minutes the first car that came into the station picked me up and took straight to San Marino.―HUNmeszabi

I arrived from Fabriano and continued towards Rimini. Friendly people waving and smiling from cars and buses. There's lane enough to stop within the roundabout. A family picked me up.As long as it gathers drivers from Jesi and Fabriano free highway, this spot serves the south direction too. If not, Ancona south toll can be better.
See you in 5!

Narrow toll entrance road, illegal to stop after the roundabout, carpooling happens on the exit side of the toll booth. If you stand at the roundabout, then you miss the cars coming from Urbino. I would recommend this spot only in case of low traffic. Go to other wider toll booths otherwise. Marotta, Riccione, Rimini North (Santarcangelo station). I'm heading to Rimini north by train, let's see how it goes :)―GiovanniTonucci

Enough place for the cars to stop but as everywhere in Italy, its difficult to get a lift. I tried with a sign to Rimini. After 30 minutes i got a lift.―HUNmeszabi

Direction--->everywhereSlow cars and vans from the ships/cruises are about to start their journey, most of them smiled or waved at me. Also those driving from "parking north" (opposite the ship i was in) pass by here. As less long-range drivers and tourists pass by there, I don't think the yellow northern spot on this hitch-map could be more strategic.
If the lane on the right is closed, you can stand and wait. Just be respectful of traffic and police will tell you nothing. Some tourists asked me for info and wished me good luck.
Nearby buses regularly connect the train station. 9:30am to Vatican and Rome.
A very young guy took me to Rome after 2h when i hid my sign to Rimini, however i could have waited longer for a further ride.

Easy spot towards Pesaro. Stand before the gas station displays. 2 different men offered me a ride for few kms within 30 minutes. Seems like hitchhiking was popular in the past :) After almost one hour waiting under light rain a young guy took me to Pesaro. After 20.000km across the Middle East and North Africa, it was my first ever hitchhike within the province i grew up in.Hopefully italians will start trusting us again :)

Got a ride to Pesaro in 3 minutes. This spot can be helpful for short distances within touristic coastal towns (Riccione, Cattolica). Come here either on a 40-50 minutes walk or bus 9, 124. Expect longer waits on rush hours.Kind elder driver in a new Smart car went out of his way. he told me about his seasonal trips across Sahara and Sahel countries by car in the 70s.
Try your luck!

Very easy spot to leave Pesaro without going far away. I started hitchhiking here to play music in the streets of Rimini recently and got 5 rides in less than 10 minutes - especially in the mid-afternoon with less traffic. A lady even turned back at the roundabout to pick me up in the morning. They averagely dropped me in Cattolica or Misano as furthest.Compared to drivers in next towns, people here are more smiley, reactive and interested in conversation. Still, they'll go out of their way, like a girl who drove 30 more kms just to exchange ideas.
Come here by bus 30, 130, 14 (direct) or CS (10 minutes walk).
