free, Lisbon, history, photoop
Looking south from most anywhere in Lisbon, the Cristo Rei Statue dominates the skyline. Patterned after the famous Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, the statue is 28 meters high and sites on top of an 82 meter pedestal and sits on top of a knoll on the south shore of the Tagus River next to the 25 de Abril bridge. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lisbon. You can go up to the top of the pedestal for a stunning view of the city. There may be a small fee, depending on when you go. To get to the statue from Lisbon take the ferry from Cais do Sodre to Cacilhas and then hop on a bus for the short ride to the statue.
