Crtl-Alt-Fn (in X) takes you to virtual console n; Alt-Fn does the same outside X. The usual setup is to start 6 virtual consoles; your X session is the next available VC, so it's usually VC 7. You normally login on VC 1, so Ctrl-Alt-F1 takes you back to the console from which you started X. Alt-F7 then takes you back to X.
