It was a reasonable price to enter, however the wait wasn't worth the view. Only a small elevator to take around 10 people at a time. The view from the grounds was lovely enough. We got the ferr…Full review by Eralco

Can you see this statue from the Vasco da Gama tower side of the water (Parque das Nações)? Or is it not visible from there?
A:
Yes you can. It's actually visible from most places it's that big. However, it does start to get cloudy over the river late afternoon which can obscure the statue at times
What’s the easiest way to travel from Alcochete to Cristo Rei by public transport?

Hi Marie, I used maps on my phone which shows all best public transports also. I believe there is a bus route that goes that direction but I enjoyed walking to the ferry at Cais Do Sodré. Ferry was like €4 there and back. Which takes you to the other side and you can either walk (40 minute walk up hill) or get a bus. Anymore questions let me know ☺️
Is this worth going to? There are 2 hour tours with skip the line or just take a taxi/ferry and walk around. I heard the lines are long and a tour gets you right in. Steps or elevator?
A:
No need to get any guides. Easy access, get Uber or hire a car. Best options
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.
When you say "Lisbon main square" I think you mean Praca do Comercio.From here,you can walk to Cais do Sodre ferry terminal,it's less than 1km alongside the Tagus/Tejo …
When you say "Lisbon main square" I think you mean Praca do Comercio.From here,you can walk to Cais do Sodre ferry terminal,it's less than 1km alongside the Tagus/Tejo river's bank.You have to take a boat to Cacilhas(the company that operate this route is Transtejo;it's an about 20 minutes trip,there are about 3-4 departures/hour).From Cacilhas you have to take bus line 101.The bus station is very close to the ferry terminal.At end of the line(after 20-25 min) is Cristo Rei sanctuary.
