'''Lisbon''' (''Lisboa'' in Portuguese) is the capital of [[Portugal]], the westernmost capital of continental [[Europe]].
=== North towards [[Coimbra]], [[Porto]] {{E|80}} {{E|01}} ===
Take bus #25, #45, #81 or #745 to the area east of the airport, the closest bus stop is Qta de Morgada [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=201578823617693527800.0004b87a37e82162e0505&msa=0&ll=38.780266,-9.121324&spn=0.004416,0.009645]. Note that you can calculate how to get there with public transport on Google maps! From there walk to the Galp petrol station next to it [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=38.77931718779921&lng=-9.122262597084045&zoom=18&trip=0&view=1]. This petrol station is right before the motorway [[A1 (Portugal)|A1]] direction north towards [[Porto]], [[Coimbra]] & [[Aveiro]]. But it could be difficult to get a ride here because a bit further on the same side of the petrol station, there is an exit which goes back to Lisbon. Most people might only come to fill up their car and then return to the city. You can check out all petrol stations along the [[A1 (Portugal)|A1]] motorway [http://www.brisa.pt/BRISA/vPT/Viajar+na+Rede/Transito+Online/?tipo=estrada&idae=1 here]
=== South or East: [[Beja]], [[Évora]], [[Faro]], [[Spain]] ===
'''Option 1:''' Go to ''Alcântara'' (Alcântara train station or bus e.g. #720, #52, #24, #773) and walk to the acess of the motorway that leads you directly to the bridge over the river direction south via the [[A2 (Portugal)|A2]] motorway. Walk up the on-ramp and immediately before the motorway there'll be a little parking space where cars can stop [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=38.70942420843887&lng=-9.177961349487305&zoom=18&trip=0&view=1]. Traffic on the bridge is huge so the cars aren't going that fast.
'''Option 2:''' Take the ''Fertagus'' train, at ''Entrecampos'' or ''Sete Rios'' train station for example, cross the river and get off at ''Foros de Amora'' [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=38.621556314953445&lng=-9.130969047546387&zoom=17&trip=0&view=1]. From there just walk under the [[A2 (Portugal)|A2]] motorway and get to the petrol station right next to it. Station is surrounded by net fence together with motorway so in case to enter it is needed to ring the bell next to gate leading to backup.
This will be the first petrol station on this motorway and from there you can ask people which way they headed and take off towards south or east. But as a lot of drivers in this station are going in different directions or very short distances, it is good to take first ride to service station in Palmela where it is much easier to get longer ride.
Check out all the petrol station on [[A2 (Portugal)|A2]] motorway and [[A6 (Portugal)|A6 ]] (towards [[Spain]]).
=== West: [[Sintra]] ===
