After greeting your guide at your Lisbon hotel, board an air-conditioned minivan destined for Fátima — home to a world-renowned pilgrimage site that attracts more than four million Christians every year. During the journey, your guide offers insight into Fatima’s history and explains why the religious site is so eminent.
During free time, opt to visit the statue of Our Lady — a shrine that marks where the Virgin Mary appeared — and admire Fátima’s beautiful Basilica. Then, head to the villages of Batalha and Alcobaça to see their UNESCO-listed monasteries.
In Nazaré — a charming fishing village — you’ll enjoy scenes of coastal splendor before delving into the medieval history of Óbidos. Here, you’ll taste a typical Portuguese liquor called ginjinha (made from sour cherries and sugar).
Following a full day of discovery, return to your Lisbon hotel and bid your private guide farewell.
