Attention !!! Impossible to reach by walking!!!
Good spot, a lot of traffic, get a ride to Leiria.

As the gas station was impossible to reach by walking, I started to hitchhike here. It's an illegal spot but it works, a lady dropped me to the gas station where it's easy to find a ride for the south

Essa foi a mais rápida e certeira do dia, um casal muito bacana, ela portuguesa e ele inglês, me levaram até próximo ao centro do porto. Posto muito bom pra caronar.

Chegando ali fui de encontro ao meu amigo Gabriel, na verdade Luana, a amiga caroneira, encontrei em Lisboa, foi mal. Gabrielzão ciclo viajante. E daí começou o drama de saber como ir barato a Eslováquia pra voluntariar com o I@E e também onde deixar a mochila que o Andrew me deu na África do sul. Acabei voltando a Lisboa e deixei a mochila com a amiga angola Magdalena, como não consegui voltar a Portugal desde então, minha amiga Anki, que foi faze residência artística, levou pra mim de volta ao Br. Obrigado a todos.

Not the busiest in terms of cars but bunch of trucks. Waited for just over 3 hours at this station. Asked around, stood at the exit, tried the highway too. Eventually a truck stopped at the exit and agreed to take me to Porto.

We (Girl & Boy) started asking around 14:45 and got a ride in 1 1/2h ! There were two other hitchhikers with us and they also got picked up relatively quickly. One with a sign and one asking the cars directly. I recommend doing both or atleast talking to them, that way they see how you are and you can google translate. Great spot 😁🌱

Just take the train from Sao Bento (Porto) till Silvalde Vouga, and reach this point, but don't expect something special.;) N109 is a bit narrow road but has some luck on HHiking to Coimbra or Lisbon.

Take Metro (line D; costs: 1,50 â‚¬) in direction to D.Joao II. At the final station (D Joao II) go out and wolk on the street a bit untill you come to the round about. There take the street "R.Soares dos Reis", which you follow untill you alreadz can see the place where a tunel enable you to cross the motorway. Walk to the indicated place (there is a walking path there - which is slightly hidden, so look and).

PLACE good to go to south (LISBON, or AVEIRA).

The other side (untested) might be good to go north.

To head south from Porto (e.g. towards Lisbon)
This gas station is right before the beginning of highway A1, to Lisbon. Just ask people if they're heading south and you're good to go!

Don't let anyone convince you this is a good spot. Cars will have to cross a lane of traffic to pull over, and then cross a land of traffic again to head southbound. This makes drivers feel uneasy and is inconvenient. While it is POSSIBLE to get a lift from any location, statistical probability is not on your side here. Don't do it. Go to the petrol station past Gaia.

perfect place, just take a metro and the walk towards gas station, there is an abandoned building site you have to cross which is not fenced, to go to the station. ask people around in gas station, drivers who stop and they will take you. waited 5-10 min. really perfect place

My friend (male) and I (female) waited for 50 minutes with a sign "Lisbon por favor :)" and got picked up by a soft toy factory van with old cartoons painted all over it. He took us all the way to Lisbon and even bought us a snack at a rest stop! Great spot with shade.

I think I got really lucky. I used just my thumb and the 2nd vehicle stopped for me. Took me about 30km from Lisbon and bought me lunch. But ya, he avoided the A1 as much as possible, criss crossing around and taking the side highways. Added an extra hour or so to get to Lisbon.

It's the best place i know to leave Porto towards south! many drivers are not following to the A1 motorway, so you have to ask many people and waiting time can vary a lot.
