Visiting Rio’s World Wonder: Christ the Redeemer
| February 19, 2016
What should I know before visiting Christ the Redeemer?
The statue attracts tourists from all over the world, of every nationality and religion. Because of this, the statue tends to get very busy in the afternoon, and it is best to visit in the morning as soon as the site opens.
The best days for visits are clear and cloudless, so that you can get a great view of Christ (perfect for selfies!) while also taking in the sweeping vistas of Rio de Janeiro from the viewing platform.
Bring water and snacks if you’re on a budget, as those items are really overpriced.
Be sure not to buy your souvenirs at Christ the Redeemer, as they are three times more expensive than other places, even compared to Copacabana.
