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.
=== 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 [https://www.google.pt/maps/dir/Senhor+Roubado/38.7849127,-9.168351/@38.7856322,-9.1709325,17z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m5!1m1!1s0xd1932a37471512d:0x1611be5394bc1a1d!2m2!1d-9.172146!2d38.785753!1m0!3e2 walk 5 minutes] to the Galp Gas 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 gas station before the highway, but drivers can still go to many other different directions, you just have to keep asking. 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]], [[Spain]] ===
