The views from the top are stunning, all the way round. It gets crowded so get there early if you can.

You can't skip a visit to Cristo Redentor, regardless the weather. The views and the trip to up there are simply astonishing.

Of course you cannot go to Rio and not see this. Very crowded. Very touristy indeed. Everyone does the "spread the arms pose" and you really could barely move. Nice to see

Great views. The statue is very large. Sunny day is best. Clouds can obscure the view.

It was too foggy, so we couldn't see anything from the view, and the Christ only appeared for a few seconds and then became foggy again. We were lucky though that we had the... More

Worth going there, the area is small, you only need less than an hour. The surrounding view is stunning and the size of the statue is amazing large.
