Your private half-day tour begins with a pick-up at the door of your accommodation in Lisbon by our professional driver. This tour is particularly special for Catholics and pilgrims visiting the main sites of the Sanctuary of Fatima, but it is also open to anyone seeking a moment of peace and reflection.
The professional tour driver will provide you with all the necessary information and tips for a memorable visit before reaching the Sanctuary.
Upon arrival, enter the Sanctuary of Fatima, which is the main pilgrimage site in Europe, and visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, an impressive church where believers gather to pray. The Chapel of Apparitions is another significant spot, marking the location where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to the children and where, at her request, a shrine was built in her honor. Erected between April 28 and June 15, 1919, it was later blessed, and the first mass was celebrated here on October 13, 1921.
Take in the majestic statue of Our Lady of Fatima and the crown adorned with gemstones. This crown contains the bullet that was fired at Pope John Paul II during the assassination attempt in 1981, which was incorporated as a symbol of devotion and spiritual protection in Fatima.
Do not miss the opportunity to enter the impressive and modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, inaugurated in 2007 at the opposite end of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary.
