    AMAZING VIEWS OF LISBON

    We visited Cristo Rei Statue during our four night stay in Lisbon in November. It’s an amazing monument to visit and you certainly don’t need to be a religious person to enjoy your time here. To be honest, I think that it was probably the...More

    Great views, a little claustrophobic

    If you come for the views, this is your place. From top of statue and from bottom. You can walk from ferry or take the bus. On the top, the passages were narrow and two-way. I was lucky as it was not too crowded. If...More

    I think it's all covered in the review. Turn right out of Praça do Comercio and follow the river. You will eventually come to Cais do Sodre where the Ferry Terminal is.
