Itinerary

Fatima Sanctuary

Get picked up from Lisbon and begin your incredible discovery of Portugal's fascinating culture. Begin at Fátima, where you learn about the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that apparently occurred to a group of children in 1917. Discover the devotion to peace and spirituality at the Fátima Sanctuary. Fátima is one of the most important shrines to the Virgin Mary in the world, as three shepherd children are said to have stated that Mary appeared to them. Fátima is second only to Lourdes in France as Europe’s most important pilgrimage site, with a history and culture that will fascinate the religious and nonreligious alike.

Batalha Monastery

Take a scenic drive to the town of Batalha, where you will find the majestic Monastery of Batalha, unique for its crossing of Gothic and Manueline styles. Monastery of Batalha was ordered construction after the Portuguesa won the Spanish in battle and maintained independence, took over 150 years to be concluded and is part of the network of Royal Panthe­ons and is considered a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Nazare

Breathe in fresh air atop the Nazaré Cliffs with extraordinary views of the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about the history of this coastal fishing town, a popular summer retreat away from the capital city and about another appearance of Virgin Mary—this one in 1182—and ponder this unique recurrence of divine intervention. The fishing village of Nazaré (the most charismatic fishing village in Portugal), where we can see the fish drought on the beach, as well as the life of the ladies of the "seven skirts" proudly shown on their own. Today Nazaré is also known for its giant waves, but the biggest waves in the world are here in Portugal. All thanks to the phenomenon of the Nazaré Canyon, phenomenal waves that made Nazaré famous all over the world, in 2013 the American surfer McNamara broke the world record when surfing a wave of about 30 meters in height, during the period of the year we can see them with our eyes.

Obidos

Time to pass one of the most beautiful villages of Portugal, within the walls of a medieval castle. Obidos belonged to the defensive pentagon of the Five Castles, this by the hands of the Templars, later used as a wedding gift of D. Dinis to his wife D. Isabel, the village became part of the House of the Queens. Here we will also go to the discovery of one of the best known and appreciated liquors, Óbidos Ginja. In 2007 the Castle of Óbidos was declared by the contest the Seven Wonders of Portugal the second of the seven most important monuments of the Portuguese architectural heritage. On 11 December 2015, UNESCO considered Óbidos as a literary city as part of the Creative Cities Network program.

Ginjinha Liqueur Tasting

Before your return to Lisbon, taste the famous Ginja, a sour-cherry liqueur, also a local specialty.

"A must do!

We had the best time and our tour guide Carlos was excellent! We had a small hiccup that morning with location pickup which we had the wrong address! Our tour guide Carlos somehow found us! We had a private tour and were interested in staying in Nazare for longer than the recommended time. Carlos just went with the flow....this was a great tour and a lot of fun. We definatley saw more than we would on our own. My only recommendation would be not to stop for lunch...we would have been happy eating on the go instead of sitting down for a leisurely lunch. Although the restaurant was an excellent choice it did take up a lot of time."

"Fatima Half Day Private Tour

This tour was a very last minute addition to our time in Lisbon. We had previously thought we would be unable to get to Fatima but once we found that we had an open afternoon, Go2Lisbon was able to accommodate our request within an hour from the time we first called. They arranged to pick us up at a central location just a few steps from our rented flat, drove us to and from Fatima and took us to all of the places that were accessible to the public (and some that were not without a prior reservation). We could not have been happier with Nidia who was very pleasant, knowledgeable and engaged with our small group. She was able to get us into an area that added a great deal of significance to our all too brief time in Fatima. Without her input and knowledge of the shrine, we would not have even known that this special ""museum"" area even existed, and would not have been able to get in without her assistance. She also took us to the separate village where the children of Fatima lived (and died), again an area we would not have experienced on our own. I cannot thank her enough for making our day in Fatima especially meaningful. Go2Lisbon and Nidia were very easy to deal with and accommodating in every way, including dropping us directly at our flat with a stop at an ATM on route. Many thanks to Nidia and Go2Lisbon.
