Description
Your day begins with a peaceful drive north from Lisbon to the Sanctuary of Fátima, one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world. Walk through the vast esplanade of devotion and visit the Chapel of the Apparitions, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. Explore the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, and the serene colonnades filled with candles, prayers, and hope.
Afterward, continue to the medieval town of Ourém, set on a hilltop crowned by its ancient castle. Stroll the cobbled streets and admire the Gothic towers that once guarded Portugal’s heartland. Your guide will share the legend of the Moorish maiden Fátima and the Christian knight Gonçalo Hermingues — a story of faith, love, and destiny that gave this region its name.
This private tour blends spirituality and heritage, offering a reflective yet enriching journey through Portugal’s sacred and historical soul.
