Beautiful location with stunning views. Some technical notes if you come from Lisbon. If you use the Lisbon card the ferry is the buses from the river station to the venue is NOT included. At the marina you will find many drivers of various kinds who offer you (some insisting on bringing you lotus (buses in summer every hour at 2.50€a / r .. "private" car or tuk tuk from 10 to 20€ a / r.) Arrived above the hill well maintained ecclesiastical structure von bars and bathrooms. The Lisbon Card does not apply here either and do not be fooled if there is no queue at the ticket offices. After the ticket you turn around the base of the statue and start the real queue for the elevator (our duration about 1 h). The elevator carries 15 people, is single and takes you up near the top Out of the elevator there is a small staircase of 40 steps about very narrow. Religious shop and chapel are also located on the top.

From the ferry terminal Cais de Sodre first for 6,80€ round trip. Then take the bus line 3001 for 1,25€ to the statue. The road is too far to go. Queue at the ticket center to buy a ticket at the vending machine for 8€. Then a felt eternity at the entrance of the statue with many people queuing. It is advisable to bring a scarf or jacket, because it blows here. In the sun you need a headgear. At some point we are standing in the anteroom of the lift, where a slightly fuzzy lady contributes something to entertainment during the waiting time. After the elevator, a narrow staircase goes all the way to the top. Phew... The stay upstairs is considerably shorter. The view of Lisbon is impressive, but in the end you have a beautiful view from the platform below and could have saved yourself the eternal wait.

Exceptional viewpoint over the bay of Lisbon and the monumental neighboring bridge. Very beautiful panorama from the foot of the sanctuary. For €8, you can go up to the panoramic terrace at the foot of the statue to see a 360 degree view of the entire city. Attention ! to get there from Cacilhas, only take bus 3001 (every 30 minutes) it leaves you in front (not included in the metro bus pass at €6.80)

This is a must to visit in a nearby city of Almada from Lisbon. The observatory is great and can visibly see the bridge and surrounding areas of Lisbon and Belem. The stairs down to the gift shop is amazing made of different shades of blue and yellow tiles. Very eye catching. Be there early as the line can be long and if you come close to the closing, your time to explore the ground will be very limited. That’s what happened to us. Best to go there by train from Lisbon. Cross the Tejo River via ferry then take the bus to Cristo Rei. Pls make sure you have Euro for your local bus fare to go to the location.

Panoramic views across Lisbon and beyond, and stations of the cross at the bottom (within a nicely-landscaped complex), barely justified a 90-minute wait in 90F plus heat. Took 3001 bus from ferry terminal, which took under 10 minutes. 19 euro ( 2 adults and 1 child) was very expensive for 2 quick elevator rides and the opportunity to see your overtired 8YO survive a brush with heat-stroke. Glad that we visited - no desire to return. Tiresome amount of tat for sale in the souvenir store. Better Catholic places visited - not impressed by surly and unhelpful staff failing to let some visitors pay by cash for tickets (had to use debit card on their ticket machine).

Cheap ferry crossing from C. Sodre only €3.50 (local navegante card can't be used because you are out of the city limits) to Calcihas. The bus stop is then only a few metres to your left which takes you to the monument. All so simple. The views back to Lisbon and the 25th April bridge are superb. Well worth the trip over. €8 for the lift to the top.

Sublime view of Lisbon! For those in a hurry, I recommend splitting into two groups, one group queues to buy tickets, while the other group queues to take the elevator to Christ Rei (great wait at least 1 hour). Be careful if you arrive at 6 pm for a closing at 7 pm (high season) you will not be able to climb because there will already be people present waiting to climb (they no longer sell tickets for this reason). Free parking on site.

Not to be missed in Lisbon. The Christ dominates the view of the city and it is beautiful to see it illuminated at night. It's a shame not to go there if you are in Lisbon, also because it's quite easy to get there, taking the ferry from Cais do Sodré station first and following the bus 3001 to the monument. Beautiful view from the platform under the statue, accessible by elevator and the last stretch by a flight of stairs. Imposing and majestic statue. Don't forget that it is still a place of worship, where you approach decently dressed and in silence.

Amazing views. We took a ferry over from Lisbon, cost about 3.5 euro's return, then the bus 3001 to the statue, cost 1.25 euros each way. The queue to go up the elevator was v slow but it is worth it. You can stay up the top as long as you want. The cafeteria is well stocked & reasonably priced & the toilets spotless

Cristo Rei, in Almada, is a truly inspiring place with a spectacular view of Lisbon and the Tagus River. The imposition of the statue conveys a sense of peace and spirituality, making the visit unforgettable. It is a perfect place to reflect, take amazing photos and appreciate the beauty of the region. A symbol of faith and a tourist spot that cannot be missed in Portugal!
