What people say

"It is located on the opposite bank of Lisbon.Cristo Rei is one of the symbols of Lisbon and shows Christ with open arms, in the act of blessing the city. The statue dates back to the 1950s and was built as a symbol of gratitude from the Portuguese people for having been spared the horrors of the Second World War. 👣How to get there: It can be easily reached by car by crossing the 25th of April Bridge or by taking a ferry to Cacilhas from Cais do Sodré and from there a bus will take you to the sanctuary . 🎟️Ticket cost:Entrance to the Cristo Rei complex is free and the €8 fee is only for those who wish to climb the tower and visit the viewing platform."
Larry Majewski
"See Lisbon's expanse along the River Tejo. The view from the foot of the monument is fantastic, but you can pay €6/€3 (adult/child) and an express elevator whisks you up the 82m to the monument's viewing platform. "
"✏️ It is a nice park with the statue of Jesus Christ in the middle at 25 meters high. You can take the elevator to get right next to the statue and admire the views. "

Mentioned in these guides

You know the exercise of planning what to visit in a city by searching online "what to do in XXXX" and opening 10 tabs in an attempt not to let anything escape? And then not fully understanding what were the most relevant things for your kind of traveller? Well, I've been there multiple times!!! That's why I though that, as a local in Lisboa who has explored everything this city has to offer, I can make things easy for someone planning to visit it by creating a single source of information with all that. 86 places split into categories to make navigation and priorization easy: 1. Lisboa-exclusive places you must go to (3 tiers according to relevance) 2. Places around Lisboa you should visit (includes Sintra, Almada and Mafra) 3. Hidden gems (again 3 tiers according to relevance) 4. Old trams / Elevators / Funiculairs (you can be a fan and go around all of them or simply pick the best ones, which I refer) 5. Viewpoints (again, either go to all of them or just my top picks) 6. Things you can do around the world and here are nice as well On top of that you've got the ultimate Portuguese food checklist with 45 things you shoult try and whithout which your trip will be incomplete (90% of them can be found in Lisboa) My main objective with this guide is not to go into detail about each of these attractions but rather to categorize and give some hints about it so you decide whether to put it on your plan or not. If it is a monument or museum requiring a deep explanation of the hitory around it, you'll find it there. In case you have any question while planning your trip, we can also make a quick call for free ;) I wish you enjoy this city as much as I do and please do send me a message with feedback on this guide, as I use that to improve on it.
