Local detail

The Sanctuary of Fátima, located approximately 120 kilometers north of Lisbon, is a sprawling complex encompassing several key sites. The Chapel of the Apparitions marks the exact spot where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared to the three shepherd children in 1917. Nearby, the grand Basilica of Our Lady of Fátima houses the tombs of the three seers, Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta. Opposite, the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity stands as one of the largest churches in the world, accommodating thousands of pilgrims.

During your visit, you may wish to collect water from the Fátima spring or walk the path where the apparitions occurred. Many visitors also choose to light candles in the dedicated area, a poignant gesture of prayer and remembrance. For lunch, our drivers recommend authentic Portuguese eateries in the town of Fátima, just a short drive from the Sanctuary gates, where you can savor regional specialties like Bacalhau à Brás or grilled fresh fish in a relaxed setting.
