Places to Visit in Almada: Almada has also nice places to visit, and specially you can get extraordinary views from the South Bank of Tajo River to Lisbon (on the north bank). • Cais to Ginjal – is the sidewalk the starts at the “Cacilhas Terminal” and restaurant “Farol”, and goes parallel to the River. It’s an old port and industry that for long have been abandoned. There are projects to transform the area but…not yet. It looks abandoned but it is full of life with fisherman and people walking. Even during the night, it is safe. Almost at the end of the sidewalk there are two restaurants “Ponto Final” and “Atira-te ao Rio” (check “where to eat”) and at the end there is a small garden with the Panoramic Elevator of Boca do Vento that takes you to the top the “Almada Velha” (Old Almada). • Panoramic Elevator of Boca do Vento – takes you from “Olho de Boi” Gardens at the end of “Cais do Gingal” to “Almada Velha” (Old Almada). Check on internet for schedules before deciding to go. • Almada Velha – you can walk on “Almada Velha” a have very good views to Lisbon from the Almada Castle, as well as from “Casa da Cerca” – Almada’s contemporary art museum. • Casa da Cerca – Almada’s contemporary art museum. It has also a nice garden and views to Lisbon. • Sanctuary Cristo Rei – very nice and free view from below the sanctuary to Lisbon and if you want to pay, you can take the lift to the top and have a bird-eye view on Lisbon and Lisbon bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril)

Sanctuary of Christ the King Monument: Set in Almada on the south banks of the river Tagus, the magnificent Santuário de Cristo Rei looms large on the Lisbon skyline. Inspired by its Brazilian counterpart Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, this towering 92ft statue of Christ was erected in the 20th century to express gratitude for keeping Portugal safe during World War II. Navigating a mixture of narrow stairwells and lift allows visitors to access the viewing platform which gives panoramic 360-degree views of Lisbon and the 25th April suspension bridge, the Tagus River and the surrounding region. Travelling to the Sanctuary from Lisbon is fairly straightforward. Catch one of the many regular ferries heading to Cacilhas from Cais do Sodré station (the crossing takes approximately 10 minutes) and on arrival visitors can either take the 101 bus, hail one of the many waiting Tuk Tuks or even walk the 2-mile journey to the top. After making it back down towards Cacilhas, a short walk along the riverfront past the old textile factories and fishing buildings takes you to the memorable spot of Restaurant Ponto Final. With tables set precariously on the end of a concrete pier by the river’s edge, this popular restaurant allows you to savour fresh fish and seafood dishes and a glass or two of wine whilst gazing across to the glittering white buildings and terracotta tiles of Lisbon on the river’s north bank. Advance bookings are strongly recommended especially during the busy summer months. Tel +351 212 760 743
