The little brother of Rio's version is still an amazing sight with a brillant view . I am big on scenic views and this place definitely delivers that quite well . ????

Chris Campbell

Visited just before Easter and it's a wonderful experience. If you're a Believer it's humbling to be with fellow worshippers honoring the visage of Christ. A MUST if you're nearby.

You should take Bus 101 by TST which costs for 1-way €2.90 (cash only ). Peaceful view of Lisbon .

Francisco Paulos

If you come to Lisbon is must to visit on the other side of the red bridge , called 25th of April Bridge . Go there, go to the top and have a stunning view of Almada and Lisbon .

Rasmus Stoltzenberg

Lisbon 's answer to Rio's Cristo Redentor offers a literally breathtaking view over the sights of the city , the Tejo and the 25 Abril bridge .

Harvinder Singh Dhillon

Have to visit just for the wonderful view of Lisbon . You can forgo the visit to the top of the statue as there is nothing up there for the cost of 4 Euros to go up.

Brunel Muba

Take the commuter ferry from Cais do Sodro metro, then bus 101 from the bus station . 2 Euro return on the bus . Great views , very peaceful .

Big monument of Christ that overlooks the city of Lisbon from the other side of the river . A bit of a copy of the one in Rio de Janeiro

Katrien Marent

Great view on Lisbon and Belem. Take the ferry from cais de sodre and then a nice walk along the water side. Very quiet .

This Catholic monument is similar to Rio de Janeiro 's Christ the Redeemer. Towering over Lisbon , this statue designed by Francisco Franco de Sousa is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

Mathieu C.

Nice and peaceful place to have a superb view of Lisbon . Take the bus from Cacilhas (2€ return).

Fantastic monument . Gr8 view of the surroundings from here

Daniela WolfQueen

Despite having an elevator you’d still have to climb quite a few flights of stairs in a narrow hallway. View is great.

Lutz Weiler

Go there in the evening. Last entry at 18 o'clock. On your way back to the ferry terminal you will have a great sunset

Dragoş O

Definitely the best view over Lisbon

Go to the foot of Cristo for some beautiful views among factory ruins.

It's an excellent view point. You can see Lisbon from the bottom for free or pay 4€ to go up using the lift.

Portugal's version of Rio's Christ the Redeemer, built to commemorate their neutrality during WWII

Don't pay 5€ to go the top, the view is great as it is at the feet of Jesus.

Grab the bus 101 from the ferry terminal to get here.

They only accept Portuguese Debit Cards on the shop at the top. And because their payment machine is GSM, sometimes it doesn't work!
