Description

Leave Lisbon and discover Fátima in just a few hours with the Fátima Express Sanctuary: Spiritual Experience from Lisbon. This compact tour was created for those who have little time but want an intense experience, full of faith, history, and mysteries that make Fátima one of the most visited sanctuaries in the world. The tour kicks off with private transport from Lisbon, ensuring a comfortable and safe ride to the sanctuary. Upon arrival, we'll start at the Chapel of the Apparitions, where, in 1917, three young shepherds reported the apparitions of Our Lady. Here you can light a candle and say a prayer, immediately immersing yourself in the spiritual energy of the place. We'll head to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, with its iconic towers and details that tell the story of the apparitions. The guide shares little-known stories and secrets, creating suspense and excitement as they reveal interesting facts about the little shepherds. The tour's highlight is a visit to the Casa dos Pastorinhos, a preserved space that lets you get to know the simple life of Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta. It's a unique opportunity to experience the real story and reflect on the courage and faith of the children who changed the history of Fátima. Then, we'll explore the Basilica of the Holy Trinity, a modern and grandiose work that offers moments of contemplation and reflection. Throughout the tour, the guide will point out details that many miss: sculptures, tiles, and religious symbols, enriching the express experience. To make the tour even more exclusive, we've included a secret stop for souvenir shopping at a little-known shop off the tourist track, where you can buy authentic souvenirs. Even though it's express, the tour guarantees a complete and intense experience, allowing you to explore the main points of Fátima, experience moments of prayer, visit the Casa dos Pastorinhos, and return to Lisbon with unforgettable memories.
