Group Experiences in Fátima

Make a pilgrimage to one of the holiest sites in the Catholic faith, with a bus tour from Lisbon to the Fátima Sanctuary. The sanctuary is said to have been visited by angels and the Virgin Mary herself, who appeared to three local children in 1917.

Experience authentic Portugal beyond the warmth and charm of Lisbon on this guided roundtrip. Visit the impressive Sanctuary of Fatima, gawp at the 14th-century Batalha Monastery, and gaze out at the Atlantic Ocean from high upon the cliffs in Nazaré. Having stopped for lunch, your guide will point out photo opportunities and stunning vistas as you drive along the coast to Óbidos. Take in the cobbled walkways and colorful houses of this romantic village, before heading back to the capital.

Fatima is one of the largest sanctuaries in the world, with more than 5 million visitors each year. After arriving at Fatima, you'll start your spiritual journey with a visit to the workshop. Shop for rosaries and other religious articles for the blessing at the Shrine of Fatima. Visit the specific place where the Virgin Mary appeared to the three young shepherds in 1917 and entrusted her three precious secrets. Visit the Chapel of the appearances and if you like, attend mass. You'll see the statue of the Virgin Mary, standing on a pedestal. Visit the village and the home of the three young shepherds, and examine their lives through family photographs, clothes, kitchen utensils, furniture, and more.
