Come on, you are in Rio. You have to visit Christ. Here's the deal--go up first thing. It opens at 8:30 am and there are very few tourists. Highly recommend hiring a driver to take you up to the top rather than the train. Costs almost the same. First thing in the AM there are very few people and the...

the statue itself is very impressive but the views are spectacular and 360 degrees - it's a must see for tourists. The trip up to it through the Tijuca Rain Forrest is also amazingly scenic

When you get to the base of the Corcovado, you have to take an elevator up then a few escalators to get to the very top. It is optional to go up by stairs though from the bottom of the elevator level.
I had a private tour of Rio for the morning and it was fantastic! My guide got me...

You cannot visit Rio and not go to Cristo Redentor. It can be seen from below in all parts of the city(at least the parts I was in) but you have to go to the top. You can get there by tram,cab or van but you must get there or you haven't really seen Rio.

Anyone who is coming to Rio, this is a place you must visit. The statue is amazing and the scenarios around are amazing. We took a bus to go to Corcovado mountain and from that place, we took the train to go to top of the mountain. I recommend the people to take this train since it is nice experience...

Christ the Redeemer seems to look down on you wherever you are in Rio. A trip up to this impressive monument is a must-do.

Take a day tour as I did (Rio Line Tourismo is really good and reasonable price). Attraction cable car ride was fun and extremely good views. Try to spend atleast 90 minutes and take pictures from all angles. Sunny weather is a must. Take stairs on going down. Ask the guide about various city points from the top.
This is...

The statue is worth the visit. There's a small chapel in the base that is a lovely place to sit and think. Despite the crowds, the statue is visible from 360 degrees and an amazing experience.

I recommend you go up with a driver. The prettiest view is of Sugar Loaf, which is half way up. You would miss it if you took the tram.

I have always wanted to go and see the Christ the Redeemer and it was just a dream come true to go to Rio! The day that we went up it was really foggy and when we got to the top we couldnt even see it. After a few minutes the fog disapeared and Christ just appeared! It was soo...
