Fátima, a religious journey to the center of Faith in Portugal

This 10-hour circular tour departs from Porto and heads to Fátima, one of the world's most important Marian pilgrimage centers. Dedicated to religious themes, the route offers a journey of faith, contemplation, and spiritual discovery, with additional visits to the Sanctuary of Fátima. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the Sanctuary's imposing esplanade, where the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary stands, home to the tombs of the three shepherd children: Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta. Nearby is the Chapel of the Apparitions, the spiritual heart of the site, built on the exact spot where Our Lady appeared in 1917. After visiting the sanctuary, visitors can also explore the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, with modern architecture capable of accommodating thousands of pilgrims, and the Rosary Paths, with meditative outdoor sculptures. Lunch is served in Fátima at a traditional restaurant, featuring regional dishes such as cod, roast goat, or duck rice. In the afternoon, the tour continues with a visit to Aljustrel, the home village of the three shepherd children. There, you can visit the homes of Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta, still preserved with period artifacts. Nearby, in Valinhos, is Loca do Anjo, the site of the apparitions of the Angel of Peace in 1916.
