Itinerary and highlights
Fatima was a small village that became one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations. It gained notoriety in 1917 when three young shepherds described visions of the Virgin Mary. Since then, the site has become an important center of Catholic devotion.
Its main destination is the Sanctuary of Fatima, an impressive complex that includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. This sanctuary is a significant milestone for the faithful, attracting millions of visitors annually who come to express their faith and gratitude. While exploring the sanctuary, you will find not only the imposing basilica, but also a series of chapels, gardens and monuments that offer a space for reflection and spirituality.
Our journey follows to the Battle Monastery, a magnificent 14th-century building that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This monument is a remarkable example of the artistic and architectural heritage of the late medieval era.
While visiting the monastery, you will have the opportunity to explore the Founder's Chapel, the final resting place of King John I, Queen Philip of Lancaster and the famous Prince Henry the Navigator.
The giant waves of Nazareth are one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world and a great attraction of the village! They occur mainly in North Beach, due to the Canyon of Nazaré, an underwater slope with more than 5,000 meters of depth that amplifies the strength of the waves.
The best place to observe them is the Forte de São Miguel Arcanjo, where there is an amazing viewpoint and a small museum dedicated to surfing, with boards of legends like Garrett McNamara, who placed Nazaré on the world map by surfing a wave of almost 30 meters.
The ideal time to see the giant waves is between October and March, when storms in the Atlantic generate the biggest waves. In addition to the elite surfers, the event attracts thousands of visitors and photographers. If you’re there during this time, it’s worth checking out!
The medieval village of Óbidos was founded in 208 a.C. and is affectionately known as the "city of wedding gifts" in Portugal, as it was offered as a gift by King Dinis to Queen Elizabeth on her wedding day, in 1282. Accompanied by your guide, visit one of the traditional wine shops to taste the famous Ginja liquor. Then take the time to explore the charming medieval fortress of the village, with its narrow streets, colorful houses and gothic doors and windows adorned with flower pots and beautiful tiles. Enjoy a snack or explore the small shops that offer a variety of beautiful pieces of handmade ceramics before returning to Lisbon.
