Nelson
Hitching within the city
It's easy to hitchhike inside Nelson. Girls will often be picked up by the first car, boys might have to wait a bit longer.
Hitchhiking out
West towards Richmond
When you're heading west, out of the city, it's better to have yourself dropped off a bit further off, in Richmond. Otherwise you might find yourself waiting quite a long time.
Northeast towards Picton, Blenheim and the Marlborough Sounds
Go to Trafalgar St North of the Roundabout to the State Hwy (about 50 meters), where you'll find a car park with plenty of space to stop – a perfect place.
