Lisbon: Private Tour to Fatima with Hotel Pickup – Half Day – Norte Region, Portugal

EXPERIENCE

Explore the religious sanctuary of Fátima on a private day trip from Lisbon. Visit the houses of the 3 children who witnessed the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, and see the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the Basilica of the Holy Trinity.

Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Lisbon. After a 1.5-hour drive, arrive in Fátima, where 6 million people are drawn to this place annually, whether out of devotion or curiosity. Visit the houses where the children lived and learn about their way of life and living conditions in the past.

Next, visit the Well of Arneiro, the place where one of the Angel’s apparitions took place in 1916 and which preceded the apparitions of Our Lady of Fátima. Afterward, head towards the Sanctuary, where you will have free time to visit the main buildings there, such as the Chapel of the Apparitions, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary (where Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta are buried), the Basilica of the Holy Trinity (the largest church in the Sanctuary, with capacity for over 9,000 people), and the Museum of the Shrine of Fátima.

Learn even more about the history of the place and admire the famous Precious Crown of Our Lady of Fátima, made up of valuable jewelry and the bullet used in the attack on Pope John Paul II in 1989. After getting to know the Sanctuary and all the beauty and spirituality that surrounds it, head back to Lisbon, finishing the service at your hotel.
