Statue of Christ the King of 28 m on a base of 82 m high offering a guaranteed superb view of Rio de Jainero and Corcovado.

Do the hands stretched out over the city remind you of anything? Of course! Of course! Rio de Janeiro and Corcovado, which inspired Cardinal Cereijera in 1934. The King Christ, his Portuguese reduction, was built at the end of the Second World War in gratitude for the fulfillment of a national vow and the episcopate's promise: Portugal had not been invaded. On a 82 m high base, the statue, inaugurated in 1959, still stands 28 m high. Superb view guaranteed.

Magnifique vue sur Lisbonne depuis l'esplanade. L'accès au sommet du monument y est onéreuse, nous avons donc renoncé.
Faire le chemin aller en bus et le retour à pied à travers les petites rues.

Nous sommes arrivés trop tard pour monter en haut du Cristo Rei mais je pense que la vue, même d'en bas est tout aussi spectaculaire. C'est un de nos moment préférés à Lisbonne. Il faut impérativement faire ce détour!

Vue Magnifique sur le pont et Lisbonne. Pour vous y rendre le mieux est de prendre un taxi pour emprunter le pont et vous pourrez revenir en prenant le bus pour vous rendre au port et prendre le ferry. Vous pouvez monter tout en haut mais un peu d'attente pour prendre l'ascenseur Vous trouverez un restaurant sur le site mais aussi à Cacilhas.

Petite sortie sympa faire quand on est Lisbonne.
Il vous faudra prendre le bateau pour traverser le Tage ( une dizaine de minutes) puis un bus qui vous mènera directement au Cristo Rei.
La vue sur le pont et Lisbonne est superbe !
Peu de choses a faire cependant sur place si ce n'est admirer la vue et le Cristo Rei de près :)

I strongly recommend walking at all times in Lisbon! We go by boat, which allows you to enjoy the city and its hills with a little backward. Once on the spot the view on Lisbon is incredible, especially at the summit of Christ king and at sunset.
