On this tour I will unveil to you the secrets of Fátima, its Sanctuary and the untold history only known by the local people since my family and ancestors are from that area.
Fátima is the religious capital of Portugal, and an essential place of visit for many people. This is the place where Our Lady appeared to the 3 children on the 13th. of May 1917, two of them, Francisco and Jacinta - beatified by John Paul II on May 13, 2002.
Between 4 to 6 Million Pilgrims visit Fátima all year round
At the place chosen by the customer.
We will depart from Lisbon directly to Fátima on the highway A1.
The trip will take us about 1. 30 hrs. one way (130km one way).
Once arrived, the guide will give some useful information, outside the churches, about the Sanctuary.
About 2 hrs. free-time.
Millions of pilgrims go there to pay their promises, to pray or just to feel its mystical strength! The Sanctuary Square is so big that it can only be described by numbers: it can receive simultaneously 300. 000 to 500. 000 visitors and it's almost twice the size of St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.
We will also drive to Valinhos, in the neighbourhood, where we have the opportunity to visit the houses of the 3 shepherds.
About 45 min. free time.
Return to Lisbon.
