Children aged 6-12 pay half the adult fare and under 5 get in for free. Try and arrive as early as possible so as to avoid big crowds and get the best shots at the top. The view up there is amazing!

There is no doubt why this is one of the 7 wonderful things in the World! Its amazing, fantastic view of all Rio de Janeiro. It's definitely a must do when in RJ.

The hiking trail between Parque Lage and Corcovado (the mountain on which is the Christ) is very difficult and reais climbing over rocks and slippery terrain. It takes at least a couple hours.

this place occupied our minds butconsidering the best time of day:)) just do it as earlier as possible and focus on the rest in Rio ✌️even if there is fog up in there, take your sun cream with you.

Highly recommend hiking up from Parque Lage. Takes about an hour and a half and isn't easy going but it's a great feeling when you get up there! You can buy your entry ticket at the turnstile up top.

It a must when you visit Rio. Its a verry powerful experience to take the stairs up to Cristo to get a close view of his face. The city view from the top is absolutely gorgeous 🌟
Billy BachmanJanuary 19, 2015
This is a must see for anyone christian or not. The beautiful panoramic views of Rio plus the immense size and history of Cristo Redentor is a sight you will never forget!

Amazing. Take a moment to enjoy Cristo Redentor and the breathtaking views of Rio De Janeiro! Bring your camera and allow ample time when visiting.
Alex TambuJanuary 24, 2015
Even early in the morning it's crowded so be prepared. But no visit to Rio will be complete without visiting it! Shuttles from Praca do Lido will take you there for much smaller fee than the tour
Michael FriedrichAugust 24, 2019
It looked to tiny on top, but after taking the tour the view is incredible. So many people visiting a famous monument :)
Sabrina BMarch 17, 2014
Purchase your tickets online 24 hours in advance so you don't have to wait hours until the next train up. Just before sunset is the best time to be going up.
Federico GonzalezJuly 18, 2013
Amazing place. Very moving. Very organized. Don't recommend it on weekends, specially if you don't want to wait almost an hour to get up there. Cheap drinks at the base of the mountain.

Don’t forget to make reservation for the cable car to go the top of the mountain by the web site.
Jackie FlemingJanuary 31, 2014
Go early before 9am to avoid the crowds, outstanding views, 33 Reals approx 30 USD £15 entrance fee and 25 reals for a taxi so don't get stung by anything dearer.

With no doubt this's the best place in Rio. The monument is astonishing. It's really crowded, be aware.
Claudia OrmrodFebruary 13, 2018
Beautiful views. I would go back any time
Arturo ParralesJanuary 23, 2014
A definitely must on your trip to Rio! Can get pretty crowded though, so don't expect an easy selfie-shot with the Christ without getting photobombed.

This is the largest Art Deco Structure in the world. 130-feet tall and 98-feet wide, this amazing structure literally stands out, towering above great scenery below.
Emilio BorelAugust 15, 2014
If you wanna come up there, first you gotta take the train down at Corcovado's Station. Adults pay 50.00 BRL (includes round trip ticket and admission to Christ the Redeemer monument).

Thank you for supporting The Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign! Did you know that Cristo is considered the largest Art Deco statue in the world and took 9 years, from 1992 to 1931, to construct?
Eduardo GordonFebruary 16, 2015
The mini buses outside the ticket office can actually help you out by getting to the top faster. Price is higher though.
Joey TMarch 20, 2016
Stunning statue! Don't forget to wear sunscreen when you visit!
Ma LenaSeptember 27, 2015
Ask someone to take a picture of you! Definitely a MUST for your family album!
Fabio LopezDecember 3, 2011
This Place is wonderful, when you get there and see the size of the Christ, you feel something special, there is a great energy, it's something that can't be explain.
Sander ZuurhoutMarch 13, 2019
Come early. First train 7.40am. Do not go when completely cloudy, you see nothing. On a half-cloudy day the pictures are more mysterious.

It is one thing to see the Christ statue on tv and think how amazing it is but to actually be there and see it in person takes your breath away.

There's a shrine underneath Jesus around the back. Don't do what I did, walk in noisily, take pictures, realise where I was and crip walk out.

After taking in the views, check out the little chapel behind the statue before heading back down to earth. - Green Guide Editor

Get tickets in advance on the internet or you will queue a long time, or find the next selling train is hours away.
