Why go, and how to fit it in
A sculpture and monument, Estátua O Homem do Leme is open 24 hours. Visitors come to see the figure and carry on to the Miradouro da Praia do Homem do Leme, a viewpoint 126 m away. The setting makes it a natural point on a walk along Avenida de Montevideu, and it appeals to people who like public art, monuments and viewpoints.
On Sunday, 13:00 is the quietest open hour and 16:00 is the busiest, so come around 13:00 if you want fewer people. The 24-hour opening leaves room to visit at other times. The nearby Jardins da Avenida de Montevideu, 765 m away, add a garden walk to the outing.
Restaurante Flor de Lis By Vila Foz is 85 m away, Restaurante Esplanada Do Molhe is 312 m, and Cafeína is 643 m. Any of the three makes a straightforward meal before or after the statue and viewpoint. Restaurante Flor de Lis By Vila Foz is the nearest.
