Duration

11 hours

Free Pick-Up and Drop-off

Did you know that the Sanctuary of Fatima is one of the most special places of worship in the world?

In 2019 alone, 6.3 million people passed through Fatima.
You can see the admiration felt for the Sanctuary.

It is not by chance that this is known as The Altar of the World.
Relax, take it easy – as soon as you get there, you'll understand why.

The Sanctuary of Fatima is in Cova da Iria, a place that, until 1917, was unknown even to the Portuguese themselves.

That year, one of the most important landmarks in modern religious history took place.
Three children, Jacinta, Lúcia and Francisco — who would become known as the three little shepherds — witnessed the apparition of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Later, in 1930, the phenomenon was recognised by the Bishop of Leiria.

Over the years, the stories of faith and the apparitions of Our Lady to the Little Shepherds have made Fatima a pilgrimage destination for people from all corners of the world.

From 13 May to 13 October, thousands of pilgrims arrive in this region, guided by faith and the desire to keep their promises, in a spiritual retreat along the Pilgrimage Route of Fatima.

This is not just another tour; it is a visit filled with tranquillity and knowledge.

A blessed tour is not done on an empty stomach

Undoubtedly this is the ideal tour for those who also want to taste the typical dishes of the region.

So, get ready to enjoy a meal prepared for you in one of Fatima's best-known restaurants.

Among the traditional dishes are the famous green soups, olive cabbages, cod roasted with chícharos, lamb stew with potatoes and rice morcelas. You’ll be crying out for more.

Food lovers cannot miss the typical desserts of the region: farófias, cream milk, almond pudding and chocolate mousse.

This visit will stay in your memory forever and ever.

And to make the experience even more complete, we've included some of the must-see places in the Prayer Grounds.

After lunch, we have set up a route from the Way of the Cross to Aljustrel, the village where the three Little Shepherds were born and lived, and which is 2km from Fatima.

In this short tour, we will walk the path that Jacinta, Lucia and Francisco travelled between their village and Cova da Iria.

You will be able to see up close the Loca do Anjo — one of the places where the three children would gather to pray — and Valinhos and The Hungarian Calvary, two other symbolic sites related to the history of the apparitions of Fatima.

Join us on this nearly 12-hour tour of one of the most beloved and invoked spiritual sites on the planet.

Prepare for a unique experience that you will remember forever!
