Lisbon to Fátima Half-Day Tour
Description
What to expect from a day in Fátima:
Fátima is a place where history, faith, and emotion converge.
We begin in Aljustrel, visiting the humble homes of Lúcia dos Santos, Jacinta, and Francisco Marto — the three children who witnessed the Virgin Mary’s apparitions in 1917. These houses offer a glimpse into rural life of the early 20th century, with original furniture, family photos, and personal items.
Then, we move to the Sanctuary of Fátima, a powerful symbol of devotion and peace. The Chapel of the Apparitions marks the exact location of the visions, and the two basilicas — Our Lady of the Rosary (neo-baroque style) and the modern Holy Trinity Basilica — showcase the architectural and spiritual grandeur of this sacred site.
Whether you're a pilgrim or a traveler seeking meaning, the energy of Fátima is undeniable.
This tour offers a free visit to the sanctuary, with time to attend Mass, reflect, and explore at your own rhythm.
