=== 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 do 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 in "Segunda Circular" (the ring), 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. Ask for a lift to "área de serviço de Aveiras", the first gas station in the A1. You can check out all petrol stations along the [[A1 (Portugal)|A1]] motorway [http://www.brisa.pt/PresentationLayer/areasservico.aspx?menuid=10 here]
In case you're not going far north, consider taking the [http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b01a8c0RCRD train] to get out of Lisbon - the "zapping" ticket costs 1,80euro for up to 1h30 of travel, no matter where you go nor which train you take (June 2012). In Vila Franca de Xira (30min by train), for example, you have both the national road and the toll for the A1 motorway in a walking distance.
