Aljustrel, Valinhos & Ourém Tour

Embark on an exploration of some of Portugal's most enigmatic sites, including a stunning medieval castle, through this excursion to Aljustrel, Valinhos, and Ourém from Fátima.

Tour to Aljustrel, Valinhos & Ourém

Your journey will begin with a pickup from your accommodation in Fátima at the appointed time, after which we will head towards the quaint village of Aljustrel, located a mere five minutes away.

Upon arrival in this historic locale, we will uncover its significance: here, three shepherd children experienced visions of the Virgin Mary called Our Lady of Fátima. Our knowledgeable guide will share the complete narrative as we visit both the Aljustrel House-Museum and the Arneiro Well.

Next, we will proceed to Valinhos, a pastoral area where the children once tended to their sheep and a vital pilgrimage location. Here, we will view the Via Crucis of Fátima and the Angel of Peace, affectionately known as the Guardian Angel of Portugal, while learning about its historical background.

Our adventure will then continue with a 20-minute bus ride to Ourém. This town is home to the Castelo de Ourém, a striking medieval fortress of Arabic origin featuring remarkable defensive structures and a regal palace.

We will conclude our exploration by wandering through the historic center of Ourém, taking in the beauty of its medieval architecture. After an engaging four-hour experience, we will return you to your hotel in Fátima.
