• Living Tours - An expert guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you from Porto to Fátima, one of Portugal’s most renowned and significant sites due to the Apparitions of Fátima that occurred there in 1917.
• Fátima - It’s time to explore Fátima. With roots deep in history, this settlement flourished during the Arabian occupation and received its name. According to legend, during the Christian Reconquest, Templar knight Gonçalo Hermingues, also known as Bringer-of-Moors, fell in love with Fátima, a Moor captured during an ambush. In return, she converted to Christianity and took the name Oureana.

In the sixteenth century, the settlement became a parish in the collegiate church of Ourém within the Diocese of Leiria.

Its further development is linked to the Apparitions of Fátima in the early twentieth century. It has become a major center for the Cult of the Virgin Mary in Portugal and is recognized worldwide by the Catholic Church.

• Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima - One of the largest Marian centers globally.

This Marian pilgrimage center commemorates the apparitions of Our Lady to the three young shepherds Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta, which occurred in 1917 and were acknowledged in 1930. The location was a rural property called Cova da Iria, owned by Lucia’s parents, who donated it to the Shrine. Five of the six apparitions took place here.

• Capela Das Aparicoes - The Chapel, located at the heart of the current Fátima Sanctuary, was constructed by locals in 1919 in response to Our Lady’s request during one of the apparitions.
• Rua dos Pastorinhos - The three shepherd children to whom Our Lady appeared - Lúcia and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta - were born in the small village of Aljustrel, approximately 2 km from the Fátima sanctuary.
• Coimbra - The final stop will be Coimbra, a city celebrated for its academic life, breathing life into those who have lost it.
