Sanctuary of Fatima & Aljustrel Tour

We'll meet on Emídio Navarro Av. in Coimbra and head towards the village of Fatima. The first stop will be the historic village of Aljustrel, where, according to Catholic tradition, three young shepherds witnessed apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1917.

In Aljustrel, you'll visit the houses of Lucía, Francisco and Jacinta, the three shepherd children. After exploring Aljustrel, we will continue to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, a pilgrimage center that receives more than six million visitors each year.

The visit includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, featuring a 65-meter tall tower, the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, and the Chapel of the Apparitions, where the three children reportedly first saw the Virgin Mary. There may be an opportunity to attend mass.

After visiting the key monuments and religious sites at the Sanctuary of Fatima, we will return to the meeting point in Coimbra.
