Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra
Description
The Sanctuary of Fátima is, par excellence, a place of Christian pilgrimage and Catholic devotion, preserving the memory of the events that led to its foundation, namely the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima to the three shepherds - Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto - in 1917. In this tour, we will visit the place of Aljustrel, the so-called Aldeia de Valinhos, place where the 3 little shepherds lived. Arriving at the sanctuary, we will visit the Basilica of Nossa Senhora do Rosário. The building, which stands out for its 65 meters high tower, is the place where the remains of the three little shepherds rest. We will then visit the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, the most recent of the sanctuary, and the Capelinha das Aparições where, with a little luck, you will have the opportunity to attend a mass. After the visit we return to your hotel in Coimbra.

My main purpose of coming to Portugal was to come to Fatima. Our driver/ tour guide Xavier was excellent. He explained the history and significance of Fatima to us.
Hi Patricia & Trisha, I am pleased to receive your kind words, and it was a pleasure to meet you. Have a good trip! Cheers! Xavier
Xavier was wonderful…. Great tour and explanation of the sites. Appreciate the time and the visit itself was a must if visiting Portugal
Hi Eleanor, Thank you so much for your words. Lock forward for your next visit to Portugal
Great driver and guide. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We truly enjoyed our trip. We will certainly use this service again.
Hi Helen, And we will be here to welcome you again. Thank you for the review and I'm very happy that you enjoyed our tour. Thanks Xavier
We had a wonderful trip today. We learned a lot about the country as well as Fátima. There were only 2 of us on the tour so it felt like we had a private tour.
Dear Lisa, From time to time our tours take on this "private" mode... of course it depends on the influx of tourists on that day... Thank goodness we made a positive impression, which makes us very happy. Thanks Xavier
The architecture is beautiful and the space completely preserved. Entry is free! The place is huge so I recommend you arrive early and take 3 hours to enjoy Fatima. Enjoy and visit the wax museum and the interactive museum that is located close to the sanctuary!
Agradecemos o comentário. Aguardamos pela proxima visita. Obrigado
Needless to add details about this unique place in the world. I'll write some information that can be useful: behind the Sanctuary there is a large free car park. always behind are available bathrooms also these free. in the perimeter of the sanctuary I did not find places to buy candles, take care to buy them in the country of Fatima. In the Sanctuary you can not light but column to the left of the same where there is a large brazier. The rest is just prayer, faith and for those who are not believers observation of a unique place.
Thanks for your review. Best wishes
Tour guide arrived on time was extremely informative and helpful. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, it was Pouring Rain. But we still were able to accomplish our goals to the sanctuary, light our candles and buy our souvenirs. Thank You Xavier for your help and conversation. Hope to see you again.
Yes unfortunately rained a little but it didn't compromise the visit too much... Thank you for your review and I hope see you again too, it was a pleasure meet you
