Cristo Rei Sanctuary, the view of Lisbon from the other side

The Cristo Rei of Almada looks at Lisbon from the south bank of the Tagus, next to the 25 de Abril Bridge. A lift goes up inside the pedestal to the viewpoint, with the best overall view of the city, the river and the bridge. It is a natural stop on the way to Costa da Caparica, about 15 minutes away.

It is open every day: from October to March from 10:00 to 18:00 and from April to September from 10:00 to 19:00, with the last ascent 20 minutes earlier. The visit to the monument (Chapel of the Confidants, terrace and multimedia room) costs €10 from age 13, €3 from 8 to 12 and is free up to 7. The sanctuary grounds, the lower viewpoint and the café are free to enter; parking costs €2.
