'''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.<br/><br/>Be aware that it's forbidden to hitch-hike there because the parking plot is considered as part of the highway. You may be spotted by the camera and they may come specially to bid you to leave the place.<br/>
'''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. Other option: right after crossing under the highway, go up and get around the highway fence and then walk right next to the highway for 100m until the gas station.
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.
