About
Fakta singkat: Bayangkan deretan 33 tokoh sejarah berbaris seperti kru kapal, wajah-wajah mereka menatap cakrawala dan menyuntikkan rasa petualangan pada siapa pun yang lewat. Naik ke puncak memberi hadiah pemandangan panorama laut dan plaza, sementara mosaik kompas di bawah kaki terasa seperti peta raksasa yang mengundang untuk dijelajahi.
Sorotan: Dulu ada versi sementara yang dibangun untuk Pameran Dunia 1940, lalu pada 1960 monumen itu direkonstruksi menjadi struktur beton setinggi 52 meter. Di bagian haluan ada 33 figur berukir, termasuk nama-nama seperti Infante D. Henrique dan Vasco da Gama, dan dari balkon batu kamu bisa merasakan angin asin dan mendengar desiran ombak seperti ikut berlayar.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, stairs to the terrace are steep and uneven.
- Bring a windproof layer and sun protection, the Tagus waterfront can be very windy and bright.
- For photos, frame the monument with the 25 de Abril Bridge in the background from the southern lawn, or shoot panoramic city views from the top terrace.
- Avoid midday cruise-ship crowds by visiting right at opening or late afternoon, and skip the small indoor exhibit if pressed for time to focus on the terrace.

4.0Went at sunset and it was packed, expect queues and limited space on the terrace. The monument itself is impressive but I skipped the paid audio guide, felt unnecessary for the price.
Came at 9am and the line was short, maybe 10 minutes. The viewpoint ticket was 6 euros and absolutely worth it for the skyline and river views.
Visited midafternoon and it was busy but moved fast. Museum inside is small and 4 euro entry felt fair, the rooftop view made it worth the stop.
