== Hitchhiking out ==

=== North towards [[Coimbra]], [[Porto]], [[Spain]], [[France]] {{E|80}} {{E|01}} ===

==== Option 1 ====

Note: If you're going to Spain and France, reach the "área de serviço de Santarém", the second petrol station on the A1, and find someone who goes to the A23. "Vilar Formoso", near Guarda, is the busiest border Pt-Es, and this is the best (and shortest) way to cross Spain, through Autovía de Castilla.

==== Option 2 Motorway Toll ====

Search rides on tolls or on the entry road to tolls

=== North towards [[Torres Vedras]], [[Caldas da Rainha]] ===

If you want to go North through the A8 highway (which passes through cities closer to the coast, until [[Leiria]]), take the metro (yellow line) to "Senhor Roubado". From there [http://goo.gl/maps/XdOLb walk 5 minutes] to the Galp petrol station in the bottom of the road "Calçada de Carriche". You'll have to cross this multi-lane road to be on the right side (direction out of Lisbon), be patient and careful... This is the last petrol station before the highway, but drivers can still go to many other different directions, you just have to keep asking (feedback so far varies from hopeless to great spot!). The first service station in the A8 will be "Loures", some 20 km away, and the second "Torres Vedras".

=== South or East: [[Beja]], [[Évora]], [[Faro]], [[Madrid]], [[Spain]] ===

Check out all the petrol station on [[A2 (Portugal)|A2]] motorway and [[A6 (Portugal)|A6]] (towards [[Spain]]).

'''Option 3:'''

Catch the ''Feragus'' train to ''Fogueteiro'' station. This station is adjacent to the [[A2 (Portugal)|A2]] highway. Exit on the south side and follow the footpath around the nearby buildings (you should be able to follow other passengers). Turn right and cross the bridge. From here you can hitch near the on-ramp or illegally on the highway itself a there is plenty of space for cars to stop in the emergency lane. This is a good spot to catch a lift south to the [[Algarve]] or east towards [[Spain]]. However keep in mind highway patrol near metropolitan areas such as Lisbon are far less patient with hitchhikers than their rural counterparts.

Go to the train station ''Sete Rios'' (by train or by metro to ''Jardim Zoologico''). Leave the train station in direction of Campolide (South) and when you take the southern exit go straight (follow the street over some kind of bridge), turn right at the crossing and you will see the motorway in front of you. Go behind the bridge to the roundabout, you'll see the directions towards Sintra. Plenty of space and cars go not to fast. You will get on the IC19 going all the way to Sintra. If you don't get a direct lift try to hitch from exit to exit.
