Visited the monument on foot. Was not so difficult to find. From the location, the view of Lisbon was breathtaking. You also have a clear view of the bridge.
We didn't go to the top since it had a large queue.
Overall, it was great and free.

One of the best places to admire the entire Lisbon. If you want to go on top of the statue, prepare to wait in a big queue. The parking near the statue is very big.

The place is beautiful but there are two things that could be improved :
